June 16, 2021 - Last $ In...Investing at the End of a Mobile Home Park Fund Fundraising Cycle

Updated: Jun 17, 2021

Many thanks to Jeff Cook and the Cook Properties team for joining us again at MIG. 


We talked about the Cook Property Fund as it enters the final fundraising timeframe this summer.   It was good to get some updates.


Why might you want to be part of the "last money in...?"


We talked specifically about some of the reasons why it can be advantageous to invest in a fund when the fund is nearly closed to new investment dollars.

If you want to learn more about the Cook Properties Fund, then I recommend you watch the video from Jeff Cook's first MIG presentation in November 2020. You can hear directly from Jeff why he is so passionate about the mobile home park real estate asset class and learn more about Cook Properties and their fund. The November 2020 video is about 1 hour long with over 30 minutes being the Question and Answer session where MIG member's direct questions were addressed by Jeff and Brian Cook.

Finally, if you want to learn about investing in the fund, then contact:
