William "Rick" Singer, widely known as the mastermind behind the nationwide college admissions scandal, is adjusting to a far less luxurious life as he awaits sentencing, RadarOnline.com has learned.

After losing his mansion in Newport Beach, Singer now resides in a trailer home in the Isle of Palms mobile home community in St. Petersburg, Florida.

He continues to face the consequences of his decisions after being forced to sell his 5,157-square-foot, five-bedroom mansion for more than $2.5 million in March 2019.

Singer said goodbye to the place he once called home after agreeing to plead guilty to racketeering, money laundering, tax evasion, and obstruction of justice for the bribery scheme which famously involved actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman.

Singer had to hand over all proceeds from the sale of his former abode to federal authorities as part of his plea bargain, according to Daily Mail, which stated he is now often seen walking his dog, playing tennis, or going for a swim at the aquatic center.

"It's the dullest mobile home park in the whole country, that's probably why he picked it," a nearby resident told Orange County Register, a local newspaper.

He reportedly purchased his humble new digs for $22,000.
