Frank & Dave,

I just closed on my first park since attending your boot camp in Dallas this past July. This deal was one that Frank evaluated for me and gave it a "thumbs up" as a good deal. The park consists of two smaller parks for a total of 35 spaces and 33 park-owned homes that I plan to sell to tenants immediately. The park had a mortgage of over 500k on it and the owner hadn't made a payment in many months. In August I got the owner and the bank to accept a short-sale price of 210k. Even at 210k, no bank in the area would touch the park since it was in less than great shape and had virtually no income and expense records. The bank that owned the note agreed to finance the deal, but after months of back and forth, simply could not get the job done. However, knowing that the bank was in financial trouble I made an offer of 125k all cash, as is, and can close before the end of the year...they accepted! The knowledge I gained during your boot camp really helped me save a lot of money and totally control the negotiation process....thanks again!

Best regards,
James

Hey Dave, happy new year to you and your family!

I just wanted to thank you for all your advice and support in the business. It's a real pleasure doing business with you and I'm grateful to be in this industry with stand up guys like you and Frank. I have done every single thing you've taught through your cds, books, emails and conversations. I'm sure you could have just kept buying parks and not shared any of your lessons and strategies with anyone; living in Vegas I see some sharks so I know how rare it is to deal with someone with real integrity. I just wanted to say thanks, it's been a lot of work but I finally got 2 parks with my father, over 200 spaces, and some really valuable experiences. My life goal is financial freedom & independence; your teachings truly have put me on that path of it really happening, affording me so many future choices/opportunities with my life, man it's exciting! This really is gonna be a good year, I really am getting a good feel of the industry and have clear picture where I want to go in it. We got some big things ahead of us. I look forward to doing more business with you. I'll see you out in Vegas,

Thanks Dave!

hi guys - just wanted to let you know that i am an official member of the mobile home park owner's club!!!!!!!! I closed on the park on 12/3. I have typed new rules - will work on new lease over weekend. New owner letter went out mentioning rates would go up soon. Next week I will mail new lease, rules and letter stating that rents go up 2/1/2011.... I would like to knock these things out faster but have a day job !!! (at which i'm doing the work of 3 people during a very busy time!) plus i'm single and my poodle can't type (which sorta explains the single part!) anyhoo - thought you'd like to know! as a reminder, i'm from the dallas boot camp in june.

thanks, lisa

Dave and Frank,

Thanks to your teachings, my wife and I just finished purchasing our first mobile home park and wanted to send along a "thanks" to both of you. When we initially considered getting involved in the mobile home park business, we noticed there were multiple sites offering books, manuals and "boot camps", etc. After more closely comparing the available options, your credentials and deep knowledge of the industry won us over.

We subsequently purchased (and read!) all of your materials and attended one of your boot camps. We can honestly say that without your guidance and teachings, we either would have purchased a park in completely the wrong way (as we feel most other "gurus" appear to teach) or we would have been floundering with the "next steps".

Although we had the natural questions of "are we wasting our money" when we first ordered your materials, within the first few chapters, we realized that we had found the right source for information. Your books and CDs did a great job of getting us up to speed regarding MHP investing, and attending the boot camp was critical for getting us past our final concerns and questions.

By the end of the boot camp, we felt like we had much more clarity on what kinds of parks make money, how to analyze the numbers relating to a park, how to best negotiate with sellers and the key risks to be aware of. We also felt like we had the knowledge to operate the park after closing with the forms, leases, rules, etc. you provided as part of the boot camp.

My wife and I are very analytical and detail oriented by nature and your materials are written with phenomenal clarity and depth. The 10+ years of expertise and experience you both have in the industry clearly shows. After thoroughly reading your manuals and listening to your CDs and attending your boot camp, we had few questions left about how to proceed and be successful in the business.

Additionally, as we started finding parks that interested us, we followed your due diligence manual thoroughly. Again, this guided us through each step of the way, and the logic to each step was clearly explained. As we have continued to review what other websites and their associated "guru's" are peddling, we are 100% confident in your teachings, and we feel fortunate that we started our MHP investing career AFTER you decided to start teaching.

Thanks again for all of your help, Steve T.

The boot camp that Dave and Frank present is extremely helpful - - - - no matter what your level of investing in MHP's. Lots of basic due diligence training - - - - as well as more advanced for the experienced investors.

Their boot camp is given like nothing else you will ever attend. Frank will discuss his management techniques and methods. In contrast, Dave will discuss how he manages his parks, which is completely different! All to let you know there is no one specific method or manner required to operate a MHP.
Just one idea will more than pay for the boot camp. And, you'll get many good ideas.

Always remember, there are really 2 seminars going on all the time: the one from the front of the room; and, the one "in" the room, i.e., the networking!

Dave and Frank,

I want to thank both of you for being a great mentor and share your experience without conservation. I had a great time in the boot camp.

Jack

Frank, Dave,

I just wanted to thank you for a great boot camp and for your generosity in sharing your extensive knowledge and experience in this business.It was really outstanding and I look forward to working with you in the years ahead. Thanks also to Jim for his insights.

Thanks again and safe travels.
Bob

Dave,

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all of the hard work you all did putting the boot camp together. Everyone went "above and beyond" to make sure the weekend was informative and on point. I realize how demanding a schedule like that is and appreciate your willingness to share. My brain is still reeling from the information overload. There certainly appears to be a very unique profit potential in this market segment. I'm juiced about digging into the due diligence of my first park.

I look forward to the chances that may come up in the future to explore opportunities. If there is anything that I may be of assistance with in this area, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

Thanks again.
Larry

Dave & Frank,

I really enjoyed the MHP boot camp this past weekend. I specifically wanted to achieve three goals, improve my MHP management planning and operations, become much more efficient (and competitive) evaualting parks/making deals, and start building my network of other park investors - I accomplished all three goals! Overall, I thought the class was a tremendous value, shaving years off of the typical learning curve. I look forward to attending your next conference/convention in addition to your weekly calls. Thank you.

Regards,
James

Thanks Dave

I really enjoyed your class in Columbus, Ohio. It gave me the push I needed to move forward. There was so much great information, but especially the people and contacts I made in class. I hope I can attend your class again in Las Vegas in January 2011.

Thanks again,
Wayne

Dave,

Thanks for letting me come to the boot camp again. It was fantastic. Thanks for taking everyone to my park. That kind of exposure is priceless. I had many people comment to me about how nice the park was and how it was good to see what can be done. I wouldn't be surprised at all if a partnership opportunity comes along because people have seen what we did. Thanks for the opportunity to show what we have done.

I've been talking with a few people from the boot camp and everyone thought it was good. People always say it is one of if not the best seminar they've ever been to on real estate. A real "guru" is so rare nowdays. So many have fancy presentations with little backing it. It is so refreshing to see you who has actually done what you are teaching. And done it over and over and proven your methods.

Another thing you have done is managed to create a community of real genuine people. Both those directly involved with your business and those who attend the boot camps. I'm not sure how you did it but it is a completely different vibe that what I get from other industries and their seminars. I find it fascinating how even though everyone is seemingly competitors there is such synergy to help everyone succeed.

I hope to see you at another boot camp with my second or third park underway.

Thanks
Tyler

Frank & Dave,

I'd like to thank you both for the great boot camp. You guys shared a wealth of knowledge. Your different approaches and perspectives add a great balance to the program. I know that my business will benefit greatly from the 3 days I spent with you.

Regards,
Stephen

Hi Dave!

I really enjoyed the boot camp in Dallas, and am searching daily for my first deal. Thanks again for all the amazing info at the boot camp, you truly exceeded my expectations!

Mike

Frank & Dave

I'll take this opportunity to thank your team for the very high quality boot camp training you presented. I've been to dozens of boot camps during my 18 years involvement in buying investment real estate as my primary career and source of income. I have taken away something of value from each. I have taken my Ah-Ha moments and converted them into action that has repaid no less than 5 times the course cost in next 120 days each time.

I consider your program one of the best. The interaction between Dave and Frank gave a useful perspective on various approaches to the same problems. The workbook material is thorough and well laid out. I appreciated the lack of hype, the realistic scenarios and open discussion.

As an owner of three MH parks with 96 spaces for 3 years I have learned many of the lessons presented at great expense and emotional distress. Having experience behind me allowed me to absorb a great deal of subtleties from the discussion. I was very receptive to new information. I have implemented changes at my parks in the week since the course that will dwarf the cost of attending.

Had I taken this training 3 years ago... no crying over past tense on my part. So, thank you again and I remain grateful for the good training. Looking forward to our next encounter, the best to each of you.

Bob S.

With your help in directing me on my park purchase, I just received my appraisal from the bank (with whom I'm refinancing) and the value came in at 950k , not bad considering i purchased it for 550k in Feb of this year.

Thanks Frank and Dave for the return calls ,emails and general NO! you gave me when i got a little zealous and impatient. it took months but your direction helped me land a park that should net me about 6-8 k per month. Ill be in touch as soon as i refi this park and move on to the next.......

Thanks,
Clinton G.

Hi Frank & Dave,

I wanted to Thank You for all the great information and your time away from your family this weekend. I got everything I was specifically looking for and so much more. It was a great course. I wish you and your family the best.

Take Care, Ron

The boot camp was an outstanding investment. Not only will I save many times the cost of the boot camp in avoiding any mistakes in the future, but the networking now opens up the doors to share deals. And of course the mailing lists is PRICELESS!

I just submitted an offer on a mobile home park in IA and thanks to Frank and Dave, I'm more confident with my offer and exit strategy.

Be sure to share my words with Dave, Frank and Jim.
Dave G.

My husband and I really enjoyed the boot camp. You DEFINITELY accomplished your goal of "over delivering!" We are so glad to have come home with all the notes and books as we probably only assimilated 1% of all that!

The thumb drive was EXTREMELY GENEROUS! Thank you. The boot camp was incredibly well organized and delivered in a wonderful, fun, non boring, fascinating way. I loved that the only rule was "no rules" and that we were allowed to interrupt with questions and comments at any time. I was completely fascinated by all the first hand experience and stories from people (both you and attendees) really "in the trenches out there" like Brian and I. It, for the first time, made me feel like we weren't the only ones with all these questions and concerns. The almost 24/7 complete accessibility from minute one was wonderful. You all were so approachable and it was wonderful to feel that. I really was impressed with having a format where at least 2 of you were up there at all times and it flowed so beautifully back and forth impulsively and what appeared to be among great comrades. High 5.

The help you are continuing to offer is much appreciated and needed.
Tracy & Brian S.

Dave & Frank,

I wanted to let you all know the boot camp a couple of weeks ago was excellent and I am excited to get started. Before the class, buying a park seemed very unlikely, but now doable. My first step is to get through all the material you sent, then start looking for the deals. There is a lot of material and I still have a day job! I would really like to find a way to partner on a deal with one of you experienced guys.

Thanks again,
Tony C

Frank & Dave,

I attended the Denver MHPS Boot Camp in July. I was amazed at the availability of Frank and Dave to mentor to us, answer our questions, provide examples of situations, share their own experiences and mistakes, and provide direction for what to do once we had left the Boot Camp. I feel prepared to take the next steps to begin evaluating a MHP, and I also know that Frank and Dave will be willing to mentor me through the due diligence on my first purchase experience. This experience is one of the best training events I have attended.

I wanted to take a moment and tell you thanks for a great "reality immersion" at boot camp. It was packed full with real value that creates confidence and a method to take the next step and "tie up" a park. The differences between your method and Frank's was a bonus that was extremely valuable. It showed that there is more then one way to view a deal. The tour of the parks on Saturday injected some real life examples to what we leaned in our manual. I am excited and can't wait to put our first park under contract. The variety of food was excellent. That was great not to have to find our meals individually. Thanks again......you guys are awesome!!!

To your success,
~Bob Green~

Dear Dave & Frank,

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so freely with me. I read what was going to be taught and had very high expectations of what I was going to receive. You guys exceeded all of my expectations!!!!! I was never bored or uninterested in any way. The two of you compliment each other……in every way. Frank you are a funny man. I enjoyed my time with you guys. Congratulations on all of your success you guys have certainly earned it. I am very excited to get started and I feel that with all the information that I received I will be able to save myself a lot of time and money. You have taught us and have given us a lot of tools that are going to save us hundreds of thousands of dollars. This class was priceless. You guys took years off the learning curve. I really appreciate all that you guys showed me. I am looking forward to staying in touch.

Be well,
David

Hello Dave,

I wanted to email you and let you know how much I enjoyed the last boot camp you held. I learned a tremendous amount and now feel confident pulling the trigger. Please send a thank you to everybody there including, Frank, Perry, Jim, Amy, Todd, etc. They were all great and I look forward to working with you in the future.
I am now on the hunt for my first deal!!!!

Thanks again,

Dave,

I like to thank you and Frank for such a wonderful job you guys did. The Boot Camp was really great. We learnt a lot. It was worth the time and money. I had some knowledge of MHP investments, but after taking the boot camp, I am more confident and I know what I did wrong with our MHPs. I will recommend your class to anyone without any reservation.

In the near future I want to focus on improving the existing parks that we own (from the knowledge gained from the boot camp). Once I am happy with them, I want look into buying more.

Thanks for offering your help. I will be in touch with you.

Thank Perry for the great pictures.

Hi you guys! We wanted to thank you so much for all the effort and planning that you put into the boot camp this weekend. You gave us so much "real" information that we can put to use immediately, as well as tons of things to file away for the future. We have been working on reading all the great books that were included with the boot camp and find them to be packed full of information PLUS so much fun to read after meeting you both!

THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!
Patrice A.

Hi Dave,

I just wanted to thank you again for the awesome time at the boot camp! I originally read Deals on Wheels and thought that was my ticket to a new life so I spent the last six months working on my dealers license. I have almost read all of your materials and I would say they are the best out there.

Thanks Again
Tim L.

Dave,

I just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you so much for the excellent MHP Boot Camp! I think that you guys did a phenomenal job, and it was far above and beyond anything that could have been expected- thank you very much!

Again, thank you so much. I think the weekend completely OVERdelivered and I was so impressed - thank you!
Jamie S.

Hi Dave

I like to say thank you & Frank for all you did. It was very good and I appreciate every bit of it. The extra material on top of all material we had gotten before was very nice of you. I wish you and your family best of luck. Again thank you very much.

Jeff Z.

Dave:

The boot camp was outstanding! I couldn't think of how to improve it.

Doug P.

Dave & Frank,

The event last weekend was terrific in all respects. I was able to see and hear various experiences and the consequences. It provided me with clarity about past mistakes (rental homes) and how best to plan for the future.

I know you were concerned about staying on schedule with the book material. To me there was actually two seminars - one in Denver and the other when I get home to re-read the material. I have never paid $3k for a class yet felt that it was an excellent value. In addition, both of you speaking simultaneously was a very dynamic format.

Jim B.

Dave and Frank,

I wanted to personally thank you for the excellent job you did on your first boot camp.

Having attended and organized similar events, I can say without a doubt that you did your homework by going above and beyond what was expected of the attendees

From the materials, which included cds, handouts, spreadsheets, forms, guest speakers, binders to writing equipment, you did a first-class job. Even the vans were new! The fact that great meals were included was also impressive.
