Seeking Mobile Home Park Investors/Partners

Why should you invest in a Mobile Home Park?

• Security Mobile Home Parks have remained one of the most stable and predictable real estate asset classes. Rarely will you see a foreclosure.

• The loan failure rate is nearly zero.

• In today’s economy, affordable housing is in HIGH demand.

• Much better returns than today’s stock market.

• Only the lots/dirt are rented, less maintenance problems.

• Average operating expense rate of only 35%. Apartments are in the 60%

• Much lower turn over ratio. Average home stays in a park 25 years. If they move it out. It costs over $3,000 so the home remains.

• When you raise rents by $10, $20, $30 or more in a park, it is less justifiable for a person to pay several thousands of dollars to move their home to save $ 30.00 a month.

• Increased depreciation rate over 15 years, which equals a major tax advantage.
