A few months ago I lost out on a listing to another agent who I had not heard of before - bummer, but it happens.

I messaged the seller today to see if had closed, and their response was not what I was expecting:
"Long story short, have had a major issue with my broker after I found out they weren't licensed and then demanded a fee, and she's now put a memorandum of sale lien against the property. Going through the legal process now"

It sounded like a wholesaler misrepresented themselves, and then demanded a 6 figure fee without even procuring a buyer...?

Anyone RE attorneys or ethical wholesalers able to provide any insight on something like this?

Just threw up in my mouth paying my 1099 tax bill this year. Third year of CRE brokerage but first year actually bringing in a meaningful amount that makes it sting.

I guess that’s progress?

Hopefully I make enough next year so @jakecrandall can go to town on the IRS for me.

Reason # 382 I prefer not working with buyers.

A week ago, an investor booked a meeting with me through our website.

He told me that their group is new to RV park investing, but they are experienced buyers/owners. He tells me they are well capitalized and looking to move quickly to purchase several properties this year.

They wanted me to send them all my off-market inventory. I told them that I'm not sending them anything off-market unless they sign an exclusive agreement with me. He says they won't do exclusives because they are also working with other brokers and doing direct outreach to owners. I told him that's exactly why we make people sign an exclusive. He seemed genuinely confused that I wasn't willing to send him information.

Fast forward to the email I get from him today:

An RV park owner I know got their competition arrested... stay with me:

Owner gets a call from a guest:
"Water’s been running in a locked bathroom for hours."

Goes to check it out.

Door’s locked, hot water running in the shower and sink, no one in there.

Checks cameras:
Sees a woman visit someone in the park…
then walk into the restroom, lock it, and leave.
Owner asks the guest who it was.

“_____ from _____ RV park down the road.”

Calls police. They warn her not to come back.
A few weeks later… she does.

Police get called again.
Competition spends the night in jail.

I can’t say I’ve heard stories like this in multifamily or any other asset.

Just another day in RV park land.

Any other crazy competitor stories out there?

When I started in commercial real estate, a broker once said to me,
“My favorite type of deal is one I never have to see in person” — what an absolute blind spot and disservice to the client that is far too common in this industry.

At North Star, we prioritize getting face to face on every property we work on.

Last week alone, I covered 809 miles across West Texas, visiting 7 parks that are either coming soon or currently under contract.

There’s real momentum across the region right now. Data centers, solar development, and oil and gas are all driving strong occupancy.

Reach out if you want to hear what we’ve got coming to market.

10 months in the making.

In January, I left my previous brokerage to start something new — North Star Brokerage & Advisory.

North Star is a boutique commercial real estate firm focused exclusively on RV parks, mobile home communities, marinas, campgrounds, and storage properties.

We chose the name North Star because every client and investor we work with has their own “North Star” — their unique goals, motivations, and version of success. Our mission is to partner with our clients in helping them achieve it.

Providing the best brokerage and advisory services, data, information, etc, all come second to that mission.

The vision is bold: to build an elite nationwide team of 25 brokers laser-focused on outdoor hospitality and storage assets and utilizing the 1031 exchange as an estate planning tool.

I’ll be sharing the journey as we grow — the wins, the lessons, and everything in between.

If you’re in this space (or want to be), I’d love to connect. Let’s build something meaningful together.

@ibuyrvparks Hundreds of foot soldiers all over our listings. Firing off full price offers with no ability to perform. A lot seem to be taking a wholesale angle as well

[Landan Dory @HunkyDoryTX]

Over the Fourth of July Holiday the Texas Hill Country experienced unprecedented flooding and catastrophic loss of life.

Lives and homes were lost and businesses were decimated.

Included in this loss was many campgrounds, RV Parks and Mobile Home Communities.

Many campers and park owners lost everything. If you feel called to donate, TACO has sponsored a GoFundMe to raise funds for those park owners affected by the floods.

Please consider donating, and help spread the word by sharing this post. Together, we can support our neighbors as they recover from this tragedy.

Here’s the link to the donation page:

@LoganDalgleish @RErookieGuy Logan, interested in this

[Caleb Jackson @outdoorCRE]

@DulauSerge @RErookieGuy @TerrakottaAI I hear ya. I’ve begun to just send lists of addresses (40-50 at a time) from map scrapes, rather than prompts. Results have been pretty good so far!
