Is it best to work with Park Managers or Park Owners?

[Michael Ellis]

Hi Everyone!

My name is Michael and I live in Shasta County in Northern California. My wife and I are thinking about starting out investing in mobile homes. I have read several different methods for finding deals and working with parks to make the deals work. My question is what are the advantages and disadvantages of working with Park Owners instead of park managers?

I read an ebook several years ago that taught The Mobile Homer technique. Which was basically suggesting to work directly with MHP owners to help them maximize the value of their park by getting old run down mobiles rehabbed or replaced and getting empty spaces filled.  It sounds like a workable plan, but I don't hear about many mobile home investors mention this method.  I would appreciate any input and experiences you all may have had in this area.

Thank you!
