Justin Donald calls himself “the Warren Buffett of lifestyle investing.” When I heard that, I rolled my eyes and mimed blowing my brains out.
Justin looks like a guy who lives in a gated community… inside of another gated community.
Can’t you just see him?
Collared shirt and blazer, sipping his morning coffee as he glances out his front window at a Mercedes SUV circling the cul-de-sac before he notices a few weeds sprouting from the rocks that Manuel must’ve missed.
At which point, he texts his wife to text their landscaper about taking care of those next Thursday when he comes.
How’d we get here though?
The story starts with Justin wanting to buy his time back. He was sick and tired of:
- Being a slave to the business he had created.
- Submitting to someone else’s schedule.
- Living life by default instead of by design.
- Not having space to think or be creative, let alone hang with the fam.
- Not taking advantage of God’s gifts.
- Not pursuing his passions.
So what’d he do? Bet a hundred-thou on black, hit, and keep doubling down until he strutted outta the casino set for life?
No, silly.
He bought income-producing assets like mobile home parks, which eventually funded his lifestyle and more.
To acquire these parks, he would put down 15-20% and seller finance the rest.
Once he learned the basics, he brought in specialists to assist with marketing, negotiations, acquisition, underwriting, property management – anything he didn’t enjoy.
Today, he has 17 parks in his portfolio. Only ever sold one. And all of them were found off market.
And yes, you bet your sweet bippy each of them is dripping cash flow, like a fish taco on your first hungry bite.
Hold up.
Anyone else notice Justin’s striking blue-green eyes? It’s as if he stole them from the water in Waikiki.
Justin still believes mobile homes are a good place to start, because they’re the least consolidated asset class in real estate.
Most park owners are mom and pop, baby boomer types. Not institutions. Right?
So profitable deals are out there.
But he’s always down to do an industrial or multifamily deal as well.
After listening to a bunch of Justin’s interviews and podcasts, the pendulum has swung and I’m now a fan.
I thought this guy was gonna be the biggest douche, but J-Dawg boxed out my first impression, snagged the rebound, and now I’m the one fouling out.
To help you follow in his footsteps, he sells the following:
- The Lifestyle Investor book + bundle – just pay $7.95 for shipping and handling.
- The Lifestyle Investor course, which costs $497.
- A Tax Strategy Masterclass, which costs $2,997.
- A Mobile Home Park Masterclass, which costs $997.
- A Passive Income Masterclass, which costs $4,997.
- And The Lifestyle Investor Mastermind, which costs $55,000 per year.
I really respect that he’s transparent about his pricing. Especially with the Mastermind, which has enough sticker shock to send some wallets into the witness protection program.
Additionally, the courses and masterclasses offer 14-day action-based money-back guarantees, so as long as you do your homework, you’re reasonably well-protected.
As for The Lifestyle Investor reviews?
His book has 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon after 708 ratings.
And thought leaders like Ryan Levesque, Hal Elrod, Kary Oberbrunner, and John Ruhlin have nothing but nice things to say about Justin and his methods.
Plus, there’s dozens and dozens of video testimonials from Lifestyle Investor members.
That said?
I’m more interested in building and investing in digital assets, such as websites, online stores, and even bitcoin – which is set to spank real estate returns harder than a red-headed stepchild.
