Our guest today is real estate entrepreneur Gabe Petersen. Gabe is host of the podcast and YouTube show, the Real Estate Investing Club. In this episode, we talk about how he got into real estate, and more importantly, why he chose the niche he did. If you have ever wondered about investing in mobile home parks and why investors choose this asset class, look no further. You’ll get a lot out of this episode, and Gabe’s website has a lot of good resources should you continue to be interested and want to learn more.
