Episode 80 - Matthias Grüenwald

Join me as I sit down with Matthias Grüenwald, a former manufacturing executive turned full-time real estate investor with a mission to transform communities and build lasting wealth. Originally from Germany, Matthias worked his way up to COO in the automotive industry before making a bold pivot into real estate. Today, he owns eight mobile home parks with over 400 units across multiple states, along with multifamily properties and an RV park. Now based in Greenville, South Carolina, Matthias brings a strategic and operational mindset to real estate investing—specializing in revitalizing distressed assets into profitable, community-enhancing properties. 
In this conversation, Matthias and I discuss:

• His journey from corporate COO to full-time real estate investor
• How mobile home parks became a scalable and impactful asset class
• The tax advantages and financial freedom that drew him to real estate
• Why cash flow and unit count are key to sustainable investing
• How family time and lifestyle design shaped his investment decisions
• The role of house hacking and savings in early wealth building
• Smart delegation and time management as tools for growth
• How real estate can uplift communities and create long-term value
• The mindset shift from making car parts to making deals
• What it means to use money as a tool for freedom—not stress
