The knowledge and expertise on this web site is from James Billings from San Diego CA.

His background, education and experiences all combined offer a variety of solutions for the real estate business – a large puzzle with many pieces. These pieces include the pros/cons of different property types as well as operational details to determine which opportunity has upside. It takes many years as an active participant in any business to find out what doesn't work, and eventually – what does work.

James holds a Bachelors Degree in Economics from Pepperdine University in Malibu CA. As a successful stockbroker he gained real world experience into the workings of monetary systems and capital equity markets. Leverage of those skills into the real estate arena is the ideal fit. As a licensed California Broker and investor, the tangible nature of mobile home parks and easy to understand business model has tremendous appeal.

He also holds an FAA commercial pilots certificate and uses aviation in business. Flying a twin-engine plane out of Montgomery Field in San Diego allows Jim and his investors to preview and subsequently inspect property. Unlike those limited to a two hour driving range from home base, two hours at 250mph opens up a totally new horizon of opportunities.

Additional education and practical applications include extensive mentoring by industry experts and professionals. Primary factors are site selection, the local economy and finance. Secondary factors such as the use of trusts, contracts, legal entities, and tax analysis are all essential. These factors combine into a unique lattice design for security, privacy, efficiency and profits.

James creates a world of exciting solutions that help people by using humor, curiosity and acceptance of human nature. All of this experience has culminated into manufactured home communities where investors earn high current income.
