On today's show, we'll hear Andrew's inspiring story and learn how he has achieved such remarkable success in the mobile home park and self-storage investment sectors. In 2015, Andrew Keel stumbled upon mobile home parks and was immediately drawn to this asset class because of the potential for higher-than-average returns and lower-than-average risk. Today, as the CEO of Keel Team LLC, he owns and manages more than 30 mobile home parks spread across 10 states.

Andrew is constantly on the lookout for new opportunities to expand his business and invites anyone interested in selling or assigning a mobile home park to contact his team for a free value analysis. In addition to mobile home parks, he also invests in self-storage facilities, which he finds appealing due to factors such as the auction process for non-payment rather than the eviction process.
