Josh Conley - Passively Investing in Marinas
Get my new book: https://bronsonequity.com/fireyourself Download my new special report - How to Use Inflation to Your Advantage - www.bronsonequity.com/inflation In this episode of The Mailbox Money Show, host Bronson Hill and co-host Nate Hambrick dive into one of the most unique—and overlooked—real estate asset classes in the U.S.: marinas. With over 10,000 marinas nationwide and less than 5% consolidated by major operators, this niche offers remarkable opportunities for passive investors seeking strong cash flow, high occupancy, and compelling returns. Joining the show is Josh Conley, COO of New Haven Marinas. Coming from a successful background in oil and gas, Josh now leads operations in a rapidly expanding marina portfolio backed by private equity partners. He grew up around marinas, understands the culture, and now helps investors access an asset class that behaves like “multifamily on the water”—with year-round demand, surprisingly low turnover, and impressive IRRs. Josh shares what makes marina investing so attractive, how it compares to more traditional real estate categories, what risks operators must navigate, and why this sector is poised for significant consolidation and growth. If you're curious about alternative real estate opportunities, want to understand the economics of marinas, or are looking for ways to diversify beyond multifamily and self-storage, this conversation opens the door to a whole new world of mailbox money.
