Tim Woodbridge is a mobile home park investor whose journey proves that bold action can completely change the trajectory of your life. After spending years working long shifts as a nurse, Tim had a mindset shift after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad—and instead of just thinking about investing, he took action. Within a year of discovering mobile home parks, and with very little capital, he purchased his first deal. Fast forward just a few years, and he’s built a $45 million mobile home park portfolio spanning more than 1,100 pads, allowing him to retire from nursing and focus full-time on building recession-resistant investments.

We dive into why mobile home parks have become one of the most compelling asset classes in real estate, how investors can participate passively, and the strategies he uses to deliver strong returns—including targeting a 2x equity multiple and significant first-year tax savings through cost segregation. We also discuss the bigger mission behind the business: cr...

Alex E. Edwards didn’t wait for permission to succeed — he rewrote the rules. After purchasing his first multifamily property in his early twenties, he went on to build a multimillion-dollar real estate company and become the founder of Thumbprint Realty, now the largest Black-owned brokerage in New England. But Alex’s impact goes far beyond transactions. As a TEDx speaker and author of Mortgage Before Marriage, he’s leading a bold conversation: what if financial freedom should come before marriage — not after? 

Through more than 1,200 closed transactions and millions in buyer assistance, Alex has helped turn access into opportunity, especially for single women and first-generation homebuyers who’ve been told to “wait their turn.” In this conversation, we unpack how money stress silently impacts relationships, why equity can strengthen families, and how ownership transforms communities. His mission? Help one million people build legacy before love — because when we change what ...
