How to Buy, Sell, and Operate RV Parks and Campgrounds

Due to the overwhelming response and feedback to my ebook on How to Buy, Sell, and Operate an RV Park, I have taken it a step further and started creating the ultimate course on RV Park and Campground Investments. 

I teamed up with another industry expert, Frank Rolfe, and we recorded a complete series on investing in RV Parks and Campgrounds.  It is a great complement to my book and brings real life stories and experiences to that book as well as further details on the important points. 

The final product includes over 575 pages of Transcripts, 18 CD's of audio with Frank & Dave, 1 CD of Downloads and 3 to 4 additional CD's as we record them with other Experts educating and guiding you through the process of Buying, Selling, and Operating RV Parks and Campgrounds.

The package includes all the CD's (19 plus 3-4 more with other industry experts), 575 pages of Transcripts, the hard copy of the RV Book, and several downloads of forms and additional information.

Section 1: How to Buy an RV Park

In our "How to Buy an RV Park" section, you will learn what it takes to make a good investment decision, and how to find the RV Parks and Campgrounds that best meet these investment objectives. 

If you believe that you make or lose money in real estate on the front end, when you decide to buy, as we do, then your mastery of this skill is essential to profitability. 

Like all of Frank and Dave's products, every idea has been tested over and over again in real life -- not just academic theory.  We will tell you what works and what doesn't, filled with examples of what happened when we tried it.
