In 1982 John Naisbitt published "Megatrends" which referred to forces so strong in the economy that you could not prosper unless you were aligned with them. There are a huge number of "megatrends" at work in the U.S. economy today and in this RV Park Mastery podcast we’re going to review each one and how it relates to this sector.

Evaluating an RV park in 2025 requires a nuanced approach that balances historical data with current market dynamics. Here's a structured methodology to assess an RV park's value effectively:

Last night, Frank Rolfe fielded questions about RV Parks for nearly two solid hours, covering a wide range of topics from cap rates to product mix. And, while the event was live, we recorded it so you could watch it later. Here is the recording for your review.

It can often be a huge shock when you get the seller’s financial numbers during due diligence. And how those align with what they promised you can have some important consequences in your view of the property. In this RV Park Mastery podcast we’re going to explore how numbers alignment can tell you a lot about a property.

A while back, Dan McDunn bought an RV Park in California called "Trinity Alps" and set about bringing it back to life. In this episode he showcases many of the improvements he’s already made, as well as reviews the changes yet to come.

It's surprising how many RV parks sit on beautiful land but do little to bring out its best features. If you have a great view on your property — even if it's just one special corner — there's a way to turn it into something guests will remember.

When I went to Stanford 45 years ago, the price-to-earnings ratio (also known as PE) of stocks was around 9. By the time I sold my billboard business and had money to invest outside of my company, the PE ratio was 18. That really didn't look at interesting to me, as it meant that the value of stocks had doubled without any increase in net income, and I viewed this as a speculative bubble. Of course, I was correct as the Dot.com bubble burst only a few years later in 2000. But that was chump change compared to today. Many investors don't realize that the current PE ratio of stocks is around 38. To put that in perspective, the PE ratio in 1920 – right before the Great Depression began – was lower than it is today, as was the PE ratio in 2007 before the Great Recession. The bottom line is that stocks have NEVER been more overvalued and that's even after the recent collapse in pricing. And one statistic that nobody ever wants to discuss is that the stock market did not go back to its 1965 pricing level until 1995 – that's 30 years of flat!

If you’re trying to find an RV Park to buy, then one of the most important forces to harness is “volume”. Even average negotiators can come away with great acquisitions if they simply employ the power of numbers. In this RV Park Mastery podcast we’re going to review how you can put together an aggressive campaign to build greater volume of deal flow, as well as why banking on numbers is a well-proven method of being a better buyer.
