Building Connections and Opportunities With Campgrounds With Don Spafford
About this episode
Don Spafford was a nobody on social media until he met Yonah Weiss. :) Don started his real estate investing career at 40 years old buying four plexes. After having his first one for about a year he realized he needed to scale bigger and faster to reach his ultimate financial independence goal. He started networking and made great connections that helped him get into some unique opportunities involving large build-to-rent multifamily and also value-add RV Campground syndications.
