IF 51 - Building Wealth Through Mobile Home Parks: A Father’s Story with Cory Harelson

The Invested Fathers

In this insightful episode, Cory Harelson opens up about his transition from a demanding 60-80 hour workweek as a structural engineer to a thriving career in mobile home park investments. Inspired by 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' and his desire to spend more time with his family, Cory overcame initial fears and, with support from his friend Matt, successfully ventured into real estate. He shares practical advice on maintaining a work-life balance, managing distractions, and instilling financial savviness in children through methods like the save, spend, give jars.

He also emphasizes the benefits of an early morning routine, inspired by 'The Miracle Morning' by Hal Elrod, and discusses the impactful relationships formed through shared activities such as jujitsu and mountain biking. The episode underscores the importance of intentionality in both fatherhood and entrepreneurship while providing valuable insights into passive income generation and prioritizing family amidst professional commitments.
