Real-estate investor Nichole Briscoe describes a break-in attempt at her mobile-home property where a neighbor's ex allegedly kicked down her front door. Police responded and a handyman helped secure the place. Despite the chaos and safety concerns, Briscoe says mobile-home investing is still worth the trouble.
Hello, let me tell y'all something, let me tell y'all something. Everybody want to be a group home owner, baby. Let me tell you what just happened. Yes, I'm wrinkled, I ain't got time to iron. My tenants call me, Nichole, somebody tried to break in the house this morning. Somebody tried to break in the house this morning, they scared. I'm like, call the police, I'm on the way. I sent my handyman, my handyman live in the mobile home park next door. Get around there, he's like, the girl next door saw who it was and they stopped. It wasn't the girl who saw it next door and they stopped. Her baby daddy got mad at her and kicked in my door.
Evidently him and her got into it. I don't know if he thought—
no, he came over there trying to attack him. Oh, so you went to tell him to call the police and so he retaliated? I know y'all go back and forth like he's a father of my kids.
I was just trying to like, just trying to understand.
Grab you and drag you back to the house. He grabbed me and dragged me back to the house. Police and snakes is what I got this morning.
Yeah, you got police and snakes and friends of those. He's at the Burger King.
And what is he— how did y'all notice that?
Cuz I walked up on him, I looked up and I seen the black on him. I was like, that ain't no bird, that's a hog butt.
And again, I am so, so sorry.
