029: Frank Rolfe on Making Millions with Mobile Home Park Investing
The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth
05/20/21 • 66 min
Today, I’m talking to Frank Rolfe — the godfather of mobile home park investing.
Frank has been an investor in mobile home parks for almost three decades, and has owned and operated hundreds of mobile home parks during that time. He is currently ranked, with his partner Dave Reynolds, as the 5th largest mobile home park owner in the U.S., with a portfolio valued at over $500 million.
He is also the co-owner of Mobile Home University, which teaches people the exact steps to successfully evaluate, purchase, repair, rent, and sell mobile homes.
In today’s conversation, you’ll learn how Frank accidentally broke into the world of mobile home park investing, his approach to analyzing deals, and why now (more than ever), mobile home parks present incredible opportunities for lifestyle investors.
Key Takeaways with Frank Rolfe
- How Frank started his career with a beat-up trailer park that was losing money on the wrong side of Dallas – and how he sold it for a $1 million profit!
- Why so many mom and pop operators lose money on their mobile home parks–and why almost every one of these losses can be turned into income with minimal effort.
- The pros and cons of CMBS lending.
- What Frank is doing to protect himself from rampant inflation and potential economic downturns.
- How the mobile home park industry may consolidate as private equity enters–and what makes it different from multi-family apartments.
- Why the modern mobile home park doesn’t look anything like the stereotypes created in the media.
- How mobile home parks thrived during the COVID-19 pandemic.

033: The Great Unlearn with Cal Callahan
The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth
06/10/21 • 65 min
When I quit my job years ago, a lot of people thought I was crazy for doing it.
But why? Was it because I had checked off all the "right" boxes; or because I was making good money and could make even more if I had stayed?
From the moment we’re born, we’re told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We’re taught to do things a certain way and to follow a certain path. But if we’re not careful, it can prevent us from living in alignment with our true values.
For me, the goal was NOT to make more money, the goal was to buy my time back...
So, quitting my job was the right decision. And of course, the money followed, but if I had listened to what everyone else had told me to do, I would never have achieved the lifestyle freedom that I have today. This is an important lesson that leads to today’s discussion with my friend Cal Callahan.
Cal is the owner of Unlearn Ventures, which is an investment fund and incubator for forward-thinking projects. He’s also the host of The Great Unlearn — a podcast that empowers people to question everything they think they know about life.
Whether it’s spirituality, health, relationships, or fitness, Cal’s superpower is to help others unpack and unlearn preconceived ideas and beliefs, so they can build a better, truer version of themselves.
So, instead of discussing a specific asset class or investing strategies, today's episode is all about questioning our beliefs. Cal will challenge you to think differently, open your mind, find joy, and approach life with insatiable curiosity — a valuable asset for anyone who wants to live life on their terms, not someone else's!

034: Jon Vroman on What it Means to Be a Family Man First
The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth
06/17/21 • 59 min
When I started a family, I made a very intentional decision that I wasn’t going to trade time for money. I knew I wanted to show up at every game, recital, and important activity for my daughter, so I decided I was going to build a life that would give me and my family lifestyle freedom — and that’s exactly what I did!
But, just because I created that freedom, it didn’t mean that I was automatically an amazing husband and father.
In fact, for someone who’s always been a high achieving, hard working, competitive natured person, working on my business oftentimes felt more natural than working on my family.
As entrepreneurs and investors, we’re so used to planning, setting, and achieving big goals for our businesses. We track progress, hit targets, hold meetings, and more...
But why aren’t we taught to put that same level of energy into planning for our families — and shouldn't that be a top priority?
With Father’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to talk more about the importance of relationships, family, and showing up for the people who matter the most. Afterall, what’s the point of creating freedom if you have nobody to spend that freedom with?
There’s no one more suited for this special episode than my longtime friend, Jon Vroman. Jon is a husband, father and the Founder of Front Row Dads — a brotherhood created for “family men with businesses, not businessmen with families.”
Jon originally started this group, not because he felt like he was crushing it as a Dad and a husband, but because he felt like he was getting crushed — and this group of likeminded men, rooted in trust and transparency, became the answer.
In today’s conversation, Jon and I talk about the revelation he had in his thirties that helped him realign his priorities and truly put family first. You’ll learn all about the powerful work Front Row Dads is doing, and how to build a business around your life–not a life that revolves around your business.
So, If you align with the idea of being a family man with a business, and not a businessman with a family, you definitely won’t want to miss this episode!

026: Unlocking Your True Potential with Rob Dial
The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth
04/29/21 • 63 min
Rob Dial is a motivational speaker, coach, and content creator who has inspired millions of people around the world.
I actually first met Rob back when he was only 19 years old selling Cutco — where he got his start in sales and discovered a passion for personal growth.
Rob quickly moved up in the company, and by 24 he owned and operated a multimillion dollar office, where he trained over 2,000 sales reps. Throughout that time he taught personal development to his team and saw just how much it impacted their lives.
By 2015, Rob had left the corporate world and launched The Mindset and Motivation Podcast, which hit #1 on iTunes in 6 categories and accumulated over 1 million downloads in the first 12 months.
He has since built an international audience of over 1.5 million followers, and is now living his mission to help people realize their true potential.
In this conversation, Rob and I talk about the path he took to get to where he is today, what it takes to find your passion and purpose in life, and how he built a multimillion dollar business without becoming a slave to it!
Key Takeaways with Rob Dial
- How Rob found his niche and used his extraordinary talents for sales and teaching to build and scale the business of his dreams.
- Why everyone has a creator inside of them.
- How conferences and connections open us up to new opportunities we may never have previously known were possible.
- The value of making goals when it comes to who we are as people.
- How entrepreneurship can still grant you extraordinary freedom, even in a pandemic.
- Why it’s so easy to get clear on what you don’t want–but not what you do.
- How to effectively hire and delegate when you need to.

023: Achieving the Yield of Dreams with Charlie Epstein
The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth
04/08/21 • 54 min
Today, I’m talking to Charlie Epstein. Charlie is the Desirement Coach and the author of Paychecks for Life and Save America, Save! He’s coached over 10,000 financial advisors around the country and helped thousands of working Americans create paychecks for life, ensuring they can do all the things they desire to do.
He’s on a mission to make the word retirement disappear. He aspires to change the mindset of working Americans so that they do all of the things they desire to do today - not sometime in the future.
In our conversation, Charlie and I talk about how he caught the entrepreneurial bug as a child, how lifestyle investors can “bend time,” and the unique storytelling tools he’s created to help people achieve their financial goals in the present.
Key Takeaways
- What Charlie learned from his entrepreneur father and opera singer mother.
- What it means to have a sense of divine discontent.
- Why Charlie found jumping into the life insurance business as a 21 year old was so much harder than being a struggling actor in New York City - and how these experiences informed his one-man show, Yield of Dreams.
- The value of doing things to crack the code, rather than just for the paycheck.
- How to understand the vig and the spread in borrowing money.
- Why Charlie disagrees with Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman about paying off all debt in favor of paying off bad debt - and ways to use Other People’s Money and Uncle Sam’s Money to grow your own.
- The coaches and mentors who have helped Charlie achieve his goals in life and in business.

024: The New Age of Real Estate Investors with Rachel Richards
The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth
04/15/21 • 52 min
Today, I’m speaking with Rachel Richards. Rachel and I have taken similar paths in life; she did very well selling Cutco, then took the leap to write a bestselling book and build a business buying real estate rentals. By the age of 27, she had quit her full-time job and successfully created over $15,000 a month in passive income.
At Money Honey Rachel, she provides resources to help female millennials take control of their financial future. She’s on a mission to empower young adults not just to manage, but to change how they feel about money, once and for all.
In our conversation, Rachel and I talk about how she discovered real estate investing and passive income as a kid, made her financial dreams come true as she became a full-time investor in her twenties, and the work she’s now doing to help people just like her achieve real financial independence.
Key Takeaways
- How Rachel envisioned her path to financial independence, graduated from college debt-free, and used savings from her extremely modest first salary to purchase her first rental.
- Rachel’s unique strategies for finding off-market deals before anyone else.
- The dangers of chasing net worth - and why cash flow is king.
- How Rachel is using her time now to help others learn at scale.
- The power of living truly in alignment with your values.
- How mentors can help you get from Point A to Point B so much faster.
