Hello BP,

I am looking into buying mobile home parks I was wondering what metrics do you use to determine a good deal with this investment strategy?

Due diligence is critical.

  • Is the MHC in THE PATH of PROGRESS? Most important is the neighborhood history. Is it in a blighted area? Or is it in decline?
  • Vacancy rates
  • Age of homes
  • Condition of the homes
  • How many homes does management own and rent out?
  • Sewer or septic
  • Well or City water
  • Condition of electrical
  • Condition of gas or propane lines
  • Type of residents
  • Is the MHC a senior or family park?
  • Asking price
  • Rent
  • Cap rate
  • Is the MHC under rent control.

You might also reach out to @Ken Rishel. on this platform. He is a book of knowledge and experience on this and may even know of some MHC's for sale.
