About - John Vashon, Founder
- Experience - We currently own 5 MHPs in N. California and one out of state
totaling 300+ spaces. We are responsible for all offsite management
including, accounting, marketing, personnel, legal, etc... We purchased our
first MHP in 2004 and started working in the business full-time in 2007.
- Introduction to MHPs - I was introduced to the MHP business by a friend
in college who's father owned several parks in N. California (today he owns
one and nets $240K a year - not a bad retirement income!) Several years
later when I had money to invest, I was more comfortable with single family
homes and by 2003, owned 6 rentals which produced $0 annual cash flow!
Faced with the need to continue working my "day job" for another 15 years
to pay down the mortgages, I called my old friend and asked his help to
learn the MHP business. Over the last 5 years, we sold the rentals and
completed 1031 exchanges into 6 MHPs.
- Education/Work Experience - After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree
in Finance and Economics from California State University at Chico, in 1982,
I worked in the software business for 25 years and lived and worked in
several cities around the country.
- Personal - I've been married and living in the Pleasanton/Livermore area of
N. California for the past 20 years and have no children. I turned 50 years
young this year and can think of no better legacy than to help a small group
of partners learn the MHP business and like my friend's father, enjoy
financial freedom and security through their retirement years!
