Looking to potentially invest in Mobile Home Parks

[Matthew Charron]

Hello BP Family,

With some unexpected occurrences as life typically has, moving to a new state soon and meeting new partners/lenders, it may seem to be that investing in Mobile Home Parks could be on the horizon for me. I am still a new investor and have been on BP for a while researching buy and hold strategies. Aside from the forum here, can anyone suggest some educational materials for getting into something such as investing in a Mobile Home Park? This is a whole new beast from what I've been looking at up until this point. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Matthew:

First, I would set "alerts" with Bigger Pockets to notify you when "mobile home parks" are being discussed.  It will keep you in the loop and is a great education source.  Second, do a search for "mobile home parks" on the site and it will pull up a lot of content.  I posted about training materials a while back and @John Jacobus provided a wonderful post, which I copied and pasted below.  

I highly recommend doing a boot camp with Mobile Home University -- well worth the price. 

Here are a few resources that John found valuable whlearning about the details of investing in mobile home parks:
