What do you think of this off market Mobile Home Park?
All:
A broker I do a lot of deals with brought me an off-market Mobile Home Park. Here is the overview that he provided me:
- Asking Price $1,200,000
- 9 Acres
- 43 total approved and zoned spaces
- 34 park owned homes
- MHs range in age from 1974 to 2000 but the average is ~1985
- Current rent $19,585.00/month
- 2 vacant homes that need to be rehabbed (estimated $595.00 per month for each)
- 7 vacant spots with power water and septic
- All units have central heating & air
- 2 Wells with 3500 gallon water storage tank for all units
- Septic tanks for all 43 pads
- 2 Dumpsters for trash at $3,900/year
- Annual property taxes (real property and for MHs) are currently $6,100
- Owner says 2017 repairs were $41,000
I've owned and managed a lot of property but this would be my first MHP. Property seems to be have been well maintained by the current owner. Would love some feedback on the following:
-Based on the info provided, does anything jump out as a red flag? Anything that I need to look out for?
-I have no interest in being hands on with this investment. What type of PM would be the best fit for a 40-ish unit park? Seems like it would be helpful to have somebody on site but not sure the numbers would justify that.
