Today, I welcome Jonathan Tuttle to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Jonathan is the COO of Land Play, a flex office space development fund focused on capitalizing on the undersupply of flex industrial assets across high-growth U.S. markets. He’s best known for his success and thought leadership in the mobile home park investment space - where he built a national following and reputation as one of the industry’s top voices - but today, he shares why he’s pivoting from manufactured housing into flex space development and data center conversions.
Jonathan breaks down the macro and micro trends driving demand for flex industrial: rapid population growth in Texas, a surge in small business formation, and the need for hybrid warehouse-office solutions for trades, e-commerce, and service-based industries. He also explains how Land Play’s modular, pre-fabricated development model allows for rapid deployment and superior returns in undersupplied markets - while avoiding costly sprinkler systems, water taps, and long permitting timelines.
We then explore why Jonathan’s transition from mobile home parks to flex space represents a broader shift from “old-school specialization” to a new era of opportunistic investing - where adaptability, speed, and timing create the edge. He also touches on his long-term play in office-to-data-center conversions, the rise of AI-driven infrastructure demand, and how his team is positioning for the next wave of real estate innovation.
With nearly two decades in real estate and a proven track record across multiple asset classes, Jonathan offers a masterclass in spotting macro shifts before they go mainstream. His story is a powerful reminder that in today’s market, agility is the new edge.
