Gabe TovarInvestment Sales Broker

I challenge you to find someone who can say they've ever waited on him for anything. If everyone in the process got things done like he does, we could sell twice as many MHC's per year.”
Kris WesselSenior Vice President, NAI Martens
“I worked with Ferd as the broker on a large piece of property ($8MM sales price) and it was clear to me that Ferd has an eye for due diligence, legal analysis, and real estate in general.

Brooks MosierMultifamily Real Estate Investor
“Ferd has been my guide in evaluating MHP purchases. Unlike most MHP brokers, Ferd is not determined to merely 'get to the commission'; in fact, Ferd has played the role of critical observer and has kept me from pursuing deals that were not in my best interest (despite costing him a commission). Ferd is unique in his ability to quickly analyze and underwrite a deal and in his ability to loyally represent his client’s interest. He is a smart broker/investor/manager/lawyer that I am glad to have on my team. On behalf of my fellow physician investors, I give him my highest recommendation.”
Harsha MoolePhysician, Leader of Physician Estate
“Even though I am an experienced real estate investor, I needed an attorney who understands mobile home parks when I was trying to close on my first mobile home park.

Eric HoltzeHotel Developer

His knowledge and insight have been extremely valuable, he understands the business not just from a legal perspective but from an operator’s perspective.”
Frank RizzoFounder of Stone Capital
“My team and I worked with Ferd on two very complex land development projects for car dealerships. Ferd was on top of the project every step of the way and had excellent communication throughout.

Daniel GrisaMHP Owner, Real Estate Investor
“As a real estate developer I am continually evaluating the risk/reward relationship with investing and construction. Because I have confidence in Ferd’s abilities as a lawyer and an operator of MHP projects, I invested with him. When it comes down to it, I am investing him as a person and not in a MHP.”
Gib WoodCEO, Scenic Development LLC

My family and I personally invest with Ferd and value him as both a business partner and friend.”
Brian JohanningEVP at Construction Company
“Ferd is one of, if not the most detail oriented and organized park owners we’ve worked with. He entrusted our firm to sell a MHP for him and working together it was clear he is adept in all areas of MHP ownership, management, and operations. His legal background and great track record as an owner make him uniquely qualified in this space where a lot of folks have very limited experience.”
Jared BoshNational MHC Broker with Northmarq
“I have worked with Ferd on numerous mobile home park projects. These have varied from well established and healthy mobile home parks to distressed parks in need of rehabilitation.

Joy CrimminsExecutive Director, Urban Land Institute
”Landlord Tenant Services has worked with Ferd, his father, and staff for over 10 years. They go above and beyond to provide excellent service to their clients, tenants, and prospective tenants in mobile home parks across several states. They do a thorough background check on every tenant to ensure the safety of all their residence and keep crime down. This is a family business that has exceeded all expectations and now has a staff of employees and able to offer job stability to them. How great is that! Ferd is an attorney and asset to this industry and I would consider an expert with his knowledge of landlord-tenant laws and mobile home parks. He is a man with integrity and a willingness to help others.
Carla ReidOwner, Landlord Tenant Services
“Ferd has helped us with our recent multifamily purchase and we couldn't be more pleased. He has helped our team in various capacities.

He does much more than draft contracts and goes above and beyond to exceed client expectations.”
Nick BarelaMultifamily Real Estate Investor
“Ferd served as my attorney on my first MHP purchase and he was instrumental in helping me get to closing. His knowledge of MHP law, especially grandfathering, made me more comfortable moving forward in the transition from long time MHP manager to MHP owner.”
Michael S.MHP Owner, Former Manager
“To say Ferd “does good work” falls insultingly short of the proactive care, attention to detail, and assertive approach he puts into his work. Ferd is one of a kind and one of the most intelligent and proactive attorneys I have ever had the opportunity to work with. Seeing Ferd take such a proactive approach in his work made a lot of sense to me because he is not just an attorney, he is an active investor. This becomes the perfect storm when building a team, and I’m confident in saying, no matter where he goes or who he works with, he will become a linchpin member and someone you too will be grateful for knowing.”
Andrew LightfootMulti-Family Real Estate Investor
“I am in the middle of closing a deal using Ferd as my attorney. His expertise as an attorney and as a mobile home park owner and manager has provided invaluable insight into the deal and negotiations. He has been able to help me not only with the legal aspect of the deal, but with great ideas on how to improve the deal, budget, leases, strategy, etc. He always makes himself available for calls or text messages, and his response time on turning around documents has been less than a day. I just hired Ferd to help me with a second deal and hope to use him to close many more deals in the future.”
Larry AbramowitzMHP Owner
“Ferd and I have gone after several of the same properties that have been available in a local area. Even though we compete, Ferd has always been willing to talk shop and has provided several useful pieces of information and referrals that have helped my own park management. I always walk away from our conversations with something of value that I can use.”
Tim B.MHP Owner/Operator
“Ferd has purchased several MHPs that I have listed and he has proven to me an ability to close the deal. Further, I have seen Ferd firsthand solve complex legal problems – he is the guy that can keep the deal together, unlike so many attorneys that kill deals. He is the first attorney I refer my clients to and I give him my strong recommendation.”
Jon "Mr. Landman" FisherNational MHP Broker
“In recent years, Ferd has served as my attorney or advisor on tax incentive and real estate projects, but our relationship goes back many years in the form of intellectual discussions on real estate and market dynamics. I can vouch for Ferd’s abilities and integrity and give him my strong recommendation.”
David BrainFounder and CEO, Enfinite Capital

Chris WilliamsCommercial Real Estate Developer and Broker
“I want to give a shout out to Ferd and the excellent job he performed on a recent acquisition. Ferd represented a first-time buyer in a complicated transaction (scattered site, limited information, difficult seller, short time frame, etc.) with a Freddie Mac non-recourse loan. Ferd’s guidance as counsel and experience as an investor were invaluable. Ferd is an adept lawyer with a strong real estate skill set. I have seen Ferd firsthand work through various challenges while jointly serving on the board of Kansas City’s Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) Board (where Ferd has held numerous leadership positions). Ferd is a great addition to any team.”
Frank SciaraManaging Director, Walker and Dunlup
“Ferd has helped me in multiple situations. His legal abilities as well as having firsthand experience with his own real estate holdings and transactions puts him a step ahead of other lawyers who do not have such personal experience.”
Steve FoutchReal Estate Developer
“Ferd has proven himself to be an indispensable asset to our operations, serving as our go-to expert for a myriad of critical issues including contract negotiations, title complexities, tax discussions for new acquisitions, and comprehensive legal guidance. His versatility and expertise have been pivotal to the expansion and success of our portfolio of manufactured home communities and RV parks. We are immensely grateful for his contributions and the outstanding support from his team.”
Kevin BarnettCEO of The Freedom Group
“Ferd has had an incredible impact on our growing company as we traverse the legal, financial and operational challenges of the MPH world. His integrated approach has helped protect our company while accelerating our business plan.”
Steve SacherCOO, Saratoga Group
“Talking to an attorney isn’t normally something I look forward to. But Ferd isn’t a regular attorney! At heart, he is a mobile home park operator who happens to also know the law around MHP ownership in exquisite detail. I learn something new every time we talk, and he and his team have been a huge asset for our business.”
Sam HalesCEO, Saratoga Group
“I have worked with many attorneys in the past. None have been better than Ferd. The value he provides is priceless. His out of the box thinking will save you a ton of time, money, and headaches.”
Mark BibasSosa Capital Group
“As a real estate broker, I often have clients who need an attorney for transactions, and I always recommend Ferd and his team. Each time I do, I receive glowing feedback about their work. I’m genuinely excited when my clients hire Ferd, because they are going to be stronger and better protected, and his team makes everyone’s life easier. In the MHC space, he’s truly unique. I think of several examples where his advice to the client saved the deal and netted the client more profit and a better outcome than they otherwise would have received. He’s a large portfolio owner, an experienced attorney, and a wellconnected podcast celebrity. He knows more about past and ongoing deals than most buyers and brokers, and he leverages that experience and to his client’s legal advantage.”
Ken ScheflerRegional Director with Yale Advisors
“Simply calling Ferd an attorney doesn’t come close to describing all the value he offers. We recently completed the acquisition of a complicated MHP portfolio. Having Ferd involved was like having a seasoned mentor in the trenches, help us at each step of the way. From title objections to survey reviews to contract negotiations and even nuanced accounting strategies for MHPs, Ferd and his team have been there and are experts on it.”
Brett BowmanMHP Owner and Syndicator
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Ferd and his team on my most recent MHP purchase in Kansas. Ferd was very gracious with his time and assisted extensively with due diligence, zoning, and general advice. His knowledge/ experience of owning and operating successful mobile home communities is amazing. They handled the entire legal process from contract to closing and ensured the transaction went as planned, working through any/all issues as they came up. he worked diligently to deliver an excellent experience... even after closing.”
