Austin Faught | RV Park Guy

@ChadGriffiths @CoyDavidsonCRE @FarazUCheemaCRE @kenashley @BobKnakal @sweatystartup @creisummit @JAshley64 It was a badge of horror on Friday morning.

@CoyDavidsonCRE @FarazUCheemaCRE @kenashley @BobKnakal @sweatystartup @creisummit @RVParkGuy @JAshley64 Shutting down the fire pit both nights feels like a badge of honor!

Can you imagine a dinner with BOTH @BobKnakal and @sweatystartup meeting for the first time? These two amazing men met @creisummit #ReTwit Burge for the first time IRL. And it was a MASTER class. They are both kind, thoughtful, brilliant…and funny as hell.

@ChadGriffiths Coach taught me to shoot straight.

Such a fun trip with some really smart guys. Nick and I knocked down the birds like champs.

@kenashley I feel like this came to your mind while we spoke in the cabin. Am I right?

Tactical listening is a gift. Truly listening to the other person instead of thinking about what you are going to say in return is huge. And people notice.

@FarazUCheemaCRE @sweatystartup Haha! The legend would have grown even more if he made that catch.

Catching up on 500+ emails today but figured I’d post a blooper reel from the #crei #retwit #gunsngrits trip this week with Nick Huber also known as @sweatystartup on X (357k+ followers) and Instagram trying to catch a quail with his bare hands. For those that don’t know Nick, he is a self storage operator of over 1.9M SF and owner of multiple companies, as well as the 💩guy this week on social and our top gun at our quail hunt. However when it comes to catching quail this video is self explanatory 😂. While Nick might post some tweets that everyone may not agree with, as a person Nick is a great guy and businessman if you haven’t met him in person (another example of don’t judge a book by its cover). Nick it was great to meet you and hear your story on how you got started on Twitter/X @kenashley thank you again for putting this trip together with the #crefam and I’m glad we all agreed we are going to do this next year!

Social media is a waste and Twitter is a time waster. Social media is bad for you. They said. Welcome to social media friends IRL. #ReTwit Burge 2024. PULL! Long live Twitter and the @creisummit community. Onwards!!

@kenashley @creisummit @BobKnakal @sweatystartup @CoyDavidsonCRE @FarazUCheemaCRE @ChadGriffiths @JAshley64 It was a privilege to be there. Thanks for hosting us, Ken!

@KirkConole @sweatystartup I’m literally sitting next to a camp fire with Nick right now and we are crying laughing at your reply. So funny.

@sweatystartup I feel less alone

I was on my way to a really important meeting a few weeks ago. Driving to it I thought I had to fart and I full on pooped my pants. Couldn’t miss the meeting so I went to TJ Maxx and bought all new clothes + a pack of wipes. Ended up walking in the meeting just in time.

@FarazUCheemaCRE @ChadGriffiths @CoyDavidsonCRE @sweatystartup @kenashley *2 out of a tree.

Might of sucked on clay shooting but Cityboy takes the lead by a long shot with 3 quails down @ChadGriffiths, @CoyDavidsonCRE, @sweatystartup, @kenashley @RVParkGuy are witnesses 😂

@rdesai234 @ibuyrvparks Mostly at individual sites. It’s easier to add site fees when the kitchen is individualized.

You guys see any high quality communal outdoors kitchens being built as an RV park amenity? @ibuyrvparks @RVParkGuy

@Keith_Wasserman I second that. Teton in October 2022.

Jackson Hole is not bad! 😍

@volodarik Thanks for recognizing me on the list.

@RVParkGuy Great story

I’ve had a good laugh today while reflecting on “The Guy Mafia.” I think I’m the original “guy” and there’s actually a back story on how I got here.

4/ I created the RV Park Guy logo. I bought a bunch of domain names, including rvparkguy.com & rvparkpm.com, and began building a business in my niche. The story from that point forward is very interesting, fast-paced, and has changed my life.

3/ Then in 2017, I came across my first RV park and quickly recognized a great opportunity. I was one week into due diligence on that first RV park when I came home and told my wife that I could be the RV Park Guy. The market seemed so inefficient and ignored.

@DallasAptGP @jakekiker @abakermont @klee821 MFH is a broad term. Prefab, modular, mobile, etc are specific types of manufactured. MHs are just that - mobile. They stay on wheels and have a hitch. They can be depreciated as personal property, so that helps your depreciation schedule too.

@jakekiker @abakermont @RVParkGuy @klee821 chime in here? What exactly is MFH? In order to achieve this, do you need to own the homes or just the infrastructure like streets, electrical, water? Could a MH builder like Palm Harbor or Clayton set and sell the homes on your pads?

MFH (Manufactured Housing) Property can accelerate 75-90% depreciation into Year 1 with Cost Seg Enormous benefit in OZ structure if you could find development opportunities in this space

@DallasAptGP @jakekiker @abakermont @klee821 No, you don’t need to own the homes, just the property. Land improvements (roads, utilities, etc) usually make up most of the value and they are 100% depreciable in Yr 1 (bonus depreciation). He’s right, this is a great thing.

@Corp_Cowboy @abakermont I think I owe you a call back, @Corp_Cowboy. I hope all is well.

@abakermont @RVParkGuy He is the man! Helped me get comfortable with my first deal!

@RVParkGuy back me up here!
