I have known Ferd for almost 20 years and have been investing with Ferd for over five years (in ~5 of his MHP syndications.) Ferd is a sharp lawyer and financial analyst, and an expert in the MHP space. I know he and his team work as hard as anybody at doing what it takes to make their business – and my investments – perform at optimal level. I look forward to working with him more in the future.

I have been investing with Ferd for years and always appreciate the transparency and communication that he provides, and of course the strong performance in his investment offerings. I am bullish on MHP investments and continue to trust Ferd and his team.

As an out of state MHP investor I know firsthand how important it is to have a quality local team operate your MHP investments. Ferd bought the park from our group and delivered on his commitments was very timely and displayed a deep knowledge of the space. Our investors are very pleased with the outcome of working with Ferd. He is somebody I enjoyed working with and selling to.

Ferd is a MHP expert and buying from him was a smooth process. Ferd is a man of high character and principles (like his father) something often missing in the real estate and MHP space. Ferd stayed on as property manager and is also an investor in our portfolio. I give him my highest recommendation.

I respect and trust Ferd implicitly and would immediately follow his advice and would be pleased to have him manage my business affairs.

Purchasing a MHP from Ferd – during COVID lockdown – was less of a challenge than I expected and his detailed accounting and organization (and proficient operations) helped me close the deal. Ferd was clearly an honest and experienced operator so much so that I hired his team to manage the MHP for me post-closing. I look forward to working with him in the years ahead.
Daniel GrisaMHP Owner, Real Estate Investor
“
I have trusted Ferd to manage my MHP assets both as a silent investor and as an active owner with Ferd’s team managing the properties. His organizational and reporting skills are great and he is uniquely situated to excel in this niche and I am glad to be on the same team.
Jeff EversdenCPA and Investor

As a real estate developer I am continually evaluating the risk/reward relationship with investing and construction. Because I have confidence in Ferd’s abilities as a lawyer and an operator of MHP projects, I invested with him. When it comes down to it, I am investing him as a person and not in a MHP.

Ferd is a long-time friend and former business partner. He is continuously hustling to become better and better, and I have no doubt he is the right guy to assist in your MHP operations. Ferd has the intellect, work ethic, and unique experience that few others can match.
Logan MooreCFA, Real Estate Investor
“
Ferd is unlike anyone I have met in real estate. He possesses a knowledge level that is far beyond most seasoned investors. He has a unique skill set that can rival any young professional with his level of comprehension and intellectual ability in: Real Estate Investing, Legal, Financial Modeling, and Tax Strategy. This guy is truly a machine! He is inspiring to work with, and has motivated and helped me want to push my potential in Real Estate way farther. If you have the opportunity to work with Ferd, you are blessed.

I’ve known Ferd Niemann IV for nearly a decade dating back to our time together getting our MBAs at Rockhurst University. Ferd has built a reputation of trust based on his performance as an attorney, land developer, and now a Mobile Home Park Operator. My family and I personally invest with Ferd and value him as both a business partner and friend.
Brian JohanningEVP at Construction Company
“
Ferd is one of, if not the most detail oriented and organized park owners we’ve worked with. He entrusted our firm to sell a MHP for him and working together it was clear he is adept in all areas of MHP ownership, management, and operations. His legal background and great track record as an owner make him uniquely qualified in this space where a lot of folks have very limited experience.

“
As someone who has purchased, sold, and operated numerous mobile home communities, Ferd has a unique skillset that make him a one-stop shop for both legal expertise and operational know-how. As a professional, my favorite Ferd qualities are that he is immediate, effective, thorough, organized, and efficient. I challenge you to find someone who can say they've ever waited on him for anything. If everyone in the process got things done like he does, we could sell twice as many MHC's per year.
Kris WesselSenior Vice President, NAI Martens

I have worked with Ferd on numerous mobile home park projects. These have varied from well established and healthy mobile home parks to distressed parks in need of rehabilitation. Ferd has a proven track record of identifying opportunities, negotiating contracts, and managing large scale rehabilitation projects to maximize returns. He is a valued client and I look forward to continuing our partnership in the future.

I worked with Ferd as the broker on a large piece of property ($8MM sales price) and it was clear to me that Ferd has an eye for due diligence, legal analysis, and real estate in general. The group closed on the purchase in short order and delivered in every aspect. Further, I have worked with Ferd on a nonprofit board here in Kansas City and can attest to his problem solving ability and his passion for creative ideas.

I have known Ferd for nearly two decades, and I have entrusted him with the majority of my investments over the last five years. Ferd exemplifies professionalism and expertise, leveraging his sharp legal acumen and financial analysis skills to excel in the MHP domain. His dedication to achieving optimal performance for both his business and my investments is unparalleled, as evidenced by the diligence exhibited by him and his team and my portfolio's growth. I eagerly await further opportunities to invest with Ferd and his team.

Ferd is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to real estate. Not only does he have legal expertise, his personal and professional background gives him an exceptional level of expertise in all facets of a project including entitlements, financial returns, debt requirements, and overall project synergy. I have worked on both sides of the development table with Ferd on complex real estate projects for nearly a decade and believe he offers an exceptional level of ability, understanding, and commitment. I give Ferd my highest recommendation.

Ferd has been my guide in evaluating MHP purchases. Unlike most MHP brokers, Ferd is not determined to merely 'get to the commission'; in fact, Ferd has played the role of critical observer and has kept me from pursuing deals that were not in my best interest (despite costing him a commission). Ferd is unique in his ability to quickly analyze and underwrite a deal and in his ability to loyally represent his client’s interest. He is a smart broker/investor/manager/lawyer that I am glad to have on my team. On behalf of my fellow physician investors, I give him my highest recommendation.

Ferd gets it. He gets sales, which are the lifeblood of all business. He also gets the numbers and is one of the few operators that truly understands accounting and taxation.

Ferd and I have gone after several of the same properties that have been available in a local area. Even though we compete, Ferd has always been willing to talk shop and has provided several useful pieces of information and referrals that have helped my own park management. I always walk away from our conversations with something of value that I can use.
Tim B.MHP Owner/Operator

I worked with Ferd when he was raising capital for one of his MHP deals and I was eager for our fund to get in on the action and invest with Ferd. He is a man of high integrity and is an expert in the MHP space. He is the attorney for this industry.

Ferd and I met in law school and later worked together at Jackson County. I have worked with and against Ferd on projects (and on the athletic field) and can attest to his abilities and skills, whether it be as a lawyer, a financial analyst, or as a leader. Ferd’s competitiveness and tenacity to win set him apart – he is undoubtedly someone you want on your side.

I worked with Ferd on an extremely complex deal covering several Mobile Home Parks, apartments, single family rentals, etc. Through the six month contract period I relied on Ferd’s legal expertise, but I also came to him to advise me on business strategy, budgeting, and financial modeling, which he has experience in as an operator and syndicator. Through this process, Ferd was able to display his versatility on all matters real estate which is what makes him an irreplaceable resource for me.
