Affordable Housing, Manufactured Home Communities & Real Estate Investing

In this episode, Ali Nasir, founder of Rise 360 Ventures, traces the eight generations of merchant and real estate experience behind his approach to manufactured housing communities. Ali explains why lot rent in resident-owned-home communities held firm through the pandemic, and why the asset class functions as essential, affordable shelter. He reflects on his father's resilience as a serial entrepreneur, the lessons of Sam Zell, and why the most important wealth transfer is knowledge, tenacity, and values rather than money. Ali also recounts buying an airport parking lot business for $2,500 down and selling it within a year for seven figures, and offers guidance for breaking into commercial real estate.
