Stop Fighting Rent Control — Ali Nasir, Rise 360 Ventures

In this episode, Ali Nasir makes a case that will surprise many in the manufactured housing industry: rather than fighting rent stabilization, operators should be actively helping shape it. Drawing on over 40 years of experience and 2,000-plus units operated through multiple economic cycles, Ali argues that the industry's current defensive posture isn't working — and that proactive communication, eliminating bad actors, and engaging directly with the regulatory conversation will produce better outcomes for operators and residents alike. He also covers his California buy box, vertical integration through infill, the resident-owned community exit strategy, and what Rise 360 Ventures is building next.
