The co-founder of Mobile Home Elite Investors, Byron Sellers came into the mobile home business by fate. Their journey began on 3/3/2017. That was the day that Byron was fired from his job.

After he became unemployed he started driving for Lyft. During his time as a driver he began to listen to podcasts religiously. One day he stumbled on a podcast about mobile home investing. The podcast caught his attention and he sent it to the love of his life Sharnice. The podcast peaked her interest because it mentioned that you could invest with low money down and you didn’t need great credit.

In the midst of their financial hardships Byron’s car was repossessed, leaving him unable to drive for Lyft anymore. With their backs against the wall, they decided they had nothing to lose and took the leap of faith into being full time entrepreneurs. They took out a high interest loan of $10,000 at a 24% interest rate.

They then purchased 2 mobile homes that they found on Facebook for under $5,000 (one for $3,700 and one for $500). Less than a month later they flipped the homes for a profit of $19,500.

Since that first deal, Byron has flipped 100s of mobile home deals within the past 3 years and are now owners of 4 Mobile Home communities with more coming.  Their goal is to become the largest African American mobile home park owners in America. 

Throughout their journey of building an extensive mobile home portfolio.  Byron has developed the top online educational platform to educate investors on the industry.

Byron has been volunteering & mentoring since 2016. He began mentoring with A Safe Haven and every Friday mentoring high school boys at Collins high school on the west side of Chicago. He began mentoring High Risk youth in 2017 in the Roseland community. Byron was able to help many of the youth start brands and create merchandise to make income. 

Byron also served as the Vice President of B Present, a non profit focused on empowering the Garfield park community. He coordinated two 5k events, in which he partnered with Rush Hospital & the Garfield park chamber of commerce to sponsor the 5k’s.

Byron has continued his mentorship efforts by speaking at high schools and speaking at the 2022 Blueprint teens summit hosted by BET.
