First mobile home park Purchase

[Josh McCullough]

I've had a dozen or so mobile homes for about 6 years now, but in July I purchased my first park. 10 lots and a stick built house. 

Crazy thing about this park is that a church had owned it since the 1960's and hadn't collected ANY rent since the 90's! You talk about long time residents!! 

All city utilities billed directly to the tenants. 

The park only has 1 vacant lot. 9 lots have tenant owned homes and 6 of those are occupied. 3 of which have been abandoned and I'm in the process of taking possession. 

On July 15th, I sent all residents an introduction letter with new park rules/regs and a lot lease. I wasn't sure what would happen next. My MHP mentor said they would all walk. To our surprise, no one walked! 1 tenant cussed me up and down, 2 said that the $225 lot rent wasn't bad and the other 3 haven't said a word to me but the ALL PAID ON TIME!

The park cost me $40,000 and is producing $1,350 the first month!

Its a small deal, but you can't hardly beat those numbers. Really looking forward to getting the other 3 mobile homes and stick built renovated and rented!
