About the Company

We are a rapidly growing U.S.-based real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition and operation of manufactured housing communities (mobile home parks) across the Midwest, with an active focus on Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky.

Our model is simple and proven: we acquire well-located parks, operate them for the long term, and sell homes within our communities. The firm is founded and led by a CPA with a five-year track record in the space spanning roughly 2,500 lots and more than two dozen communities. We are now scaling aggressively under a new platform and are on track to reach 1,000 lots as our pipeline closes through the coming year.

We are a lean, entrepreneurial team that already runs much of its operation remotely, and we believe in building long-term relationships with the people who grow with us. This is not a large, layered corporate environment; it is a fast-moving shop where the right person has real ownership and a direct line to leadership.

* Assist with home sales administration and record-keeping in AppFolio
Administrative Support
