Ali Nasir

Managing Director at RISECOMM

Speaker

Ali hails from a multi-generational family of real estate investors. He is second-generation specializing in owning and operating manufactured housing communities (MHCs). He is now dedicated to helping others interested in investing in this asset class through a Fund, RISECOMM. With deep roots in the industry since 1981, Ali gained hands-on experience from childhood while growing up in his family’s first park. By age 16, he was already actively acquiring, selling, and leasing homes. Since then, he’s touched thousands of units spread over many assets.

To broaden his knowledge, Ali became a MHC appraiser early in his career, ensuring he understood the fundamentals of commercial real estate valuations. A family tradition was the study of Dale Carnegie Training; Ali attended at a young age and considers himself a lifelong student and fan. Additionally, he enhanced his entrepreneurial skills by attending a private entrepreneurship academy in Sacramento, CA.

Ali took a sabbatical from the industry to attend courses through Harvard University's Extension program, further developing his skills in organizational communication and entrepreneurship. He specializes in acquiring underperforming MHCs and executing proprietary strategies to accelerate the pace to stabilization and optimum valuation. Ali has witnessed the MHC business transition into not only a formidable asset class but become the “darling” that any now embrace. He and his family’s original concepts, financial models, etc., have contributed to industry-wide templates and strategies. Ali has international experience in commercial real estate as well, including forming valuations for a portfolio of over 1,600 assets throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, valued at well over $2 billion in 2009.

Ali resides in the San Francisco Bay Area and enjoys spending time with his family and indulging in his passions for cigars and music.
