Strategies for filling up Mobile Home Park

[Mark Rechkemmer]

I own a 40 unit/pad MHP with 8 vacancies and looking for creative strategies for filling lots that doesn't require capital on my part.  I have already reached out MH dealers for used trailers and they will share my park info if clients are looking for a place to move their trailer to.

Any creative strategies out there such as linking with MH flippers to place trailers in the park and rehab/sell them there to owner occupants, etc?

We manage a park in Southlake, TX that we have been transitioning from park owned to tenant owned homes. Of course we wanted the homes to be much better than the existing. I reach out to a district manager of a manufactured home company. We have a deal that they prep the lot and install a new home at no cost. They typically only do one unit at a time. It has been a great way to upgrade the neighborhood. All the new units match. 

Don't bother talking to the sales rep on the sales lot. He doesn't have the authority to do this arrangement and most likely doesn't get paid.
