“Be careful about mobile home parks in low-lying areas, in 100-yard flood zones. Those are expensive to insure.” - Kurt Kelley

“Go to that mobile home park on a Wednesday at 10:00 AM, if you see a lot of working-aged men standing around doing nothing, it's a red flag because working-aged men are like teenagers with too much time. It's a bad recipe for issues, for just having a bad tenant base that just becomes difficult for someone to manage.” - Kurt Kelley
