Franco Perez is on a mission to revolutionize the conversation around mobile homes and affordable housing. Based in Silicon Valley, Franco's mission stems from the pain of his own family struggling with rent and the desire to help others facing similar challenges. But this isn't only about mobile homes, it's about bringing people financial education, an understanding of building credit, and gaining dignity.

-Changing Perceptions: Franco addresses the stigma associated with mobile homes by showcasing the diversity in mobile home communities. He emphasizes that, like any other housing, there's a spectrum, and his company aims to beautify and enhance the quality of mobile homes.

-Value-Driven Leadership: Franco highlights the importance of having a strong why and purpose in business. His motivation comes from the joy of helping families achieve homeownership, and this purpose-driven approach guides his decision-making and partnerships.
