NSAli with Nate Sosa and Thomas Castelli·Jul 2026·36:21
About this episode
In this episode, Ali joins Nate Sosa and Thomas Castelli on the Major League Real Estate Podcast to explain why manufactured housing communities have become one of the strongest-performing real estate asset classes. Ali, managing director and co-founder of Rise 360 Ventures, draws on a family that has invested in manufactured housing for more than 44 years, including the move from RV parks to mobile home parks. He explains why tenant-owned homes make a better business model, how manufactured housing compares to multifamily, and what an investor is actually buying in a park. The talk also covers cost segregation and bonus depreciation, 1031 exchanges as a way to build generational wealth, the silver tsunami opportunity, the biggest myth about mobile home parks, and how Rise 360 uses AI in its operations.
