In this episode of the Property Profits Podcast, Dave Dubeau chats with Leo Young, co-founder of Cornell Communities, a real estate investment firm specializing in mobile home parks. From selling Teslas to building a fund with six communities under management, Leo shares his journey into this often misunderstood asset class.

Leo also shares practical insights on starting and scaling a real estate fund, what it really takes to succeed, and how he's using content and social media to build trust with new investors.
