Mobile Home Park- Is this a good deal? Underestimating Expenses?
Asking $600k
11 Spaces All Occupied
8 TOH- $285 per month
3 POH- $1300 (Section 8), $900, $750
Single Story House- $775 monthly
Gross Monthly Income- $6005
Gross $72k
Without Due Diligence-Owners Expenses: Maybe $200 per month insurance, $150 for electricity for the Well Pump, $100 for the Trash bin, Taxes $2400 per year (currently),
Fixed Expenses= $7800 yearly
Variable Expenses
8% Vacancy-$480
5% Repairs-$300
5% CapEx-$300
=1,080 Variable Expenses Monthly. $12,960 yearly
I may be way under for expenses, especially with septic.
$72,000-$12,960= NOI $59,040
59,040/600,000=9.84% Cap
This park has dirt roads, 3 septic systems, 1 well pump.
3 miles away two MH parks have city sewer and water. Paved Roads, $600 lot rent. One of the two parks offers free utilities but tenants have to bring their own trailers(It's newly built), The other park has its own trailers $600 lot rent-utilities not included.
I would increase the lot rent up to $400. I would increase all the POH to $1300 rent.
Extra $1,479 a month income from the POHs. Extra $920 from TOHs.
Extra 2,399 per month, $28,788 yearly.
If people moved out could have more Section 8 or veteran tenants. More Maintenance but more cash flow.
New Estimate: 87,828/600,000=14.6% Cap. 87,828/.0984=$892,560 value at old cap rate.
Would partner with my twin brother. Could I be 4 hours away from an MHP that has septic? My family owns a couple of parks but none with septic before. My brother would be in the same area of it all the time. I can always drive the next day. Is this idea realistic?
