What do near-death climbs, 3 a.m. sewage emergencies, and a full-blown partnership rescue mission have in common?
They’re all part of Corey Harrelson’s wild real estate story — and we unpack every gritty, gut-wrenching, and somehow still inspiring detail in this episode of The Real Estate Pessimist.
Corey isn’t your typical investor. He doesn’t flex Rolexes or pitch you passive income fairytales. He buys “ugly” mobile home parks, deals with literal poop fires, and still comes out standing — not because it’s easy, but because he’s built for the climb.
🎯 Inside this episode:
The real reason Corey walked away from a successful engineering career
Why a Half Dome blizzard became the ultimate investor training ground
The $50,000/month mistake that nearly cost him everything
How one lender phone call changed the entire game
The behind-the-scenes breakdown of mobile home park investing
What syndicators and back-of-napkin pro formas don’t tell you
Takeaway truth: Real estate isn’t just about numbers. It’s about resilience. And sometimes… sewage.
