From Ospreys to RV Parks: Robert Preston’s Mission-Driven Journey

In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, we sit down with Robert Preston, founder of Climb Capital and Unhitched RV, who shares his incredible journey from military service to successful entrepreneurship in the RV park space.

Robert opens up about making life-changing decisions after high-risk missions overseas, the challenges of juggling military duty with flipping houses, and why he left the multifamily space for something more scalable and rewarding. He dives into the operational intricacies of owning RV parks, how his team evaluates deals, and what makes outdoor hospitality a resilient investment class—even as post-pandemic trends normalize.

Whether you're a real estate investor, veteran, or just curious about new asset classes, Robert’s insight into community-driven parks, property management, and strategic growth is packed with takeaways.
