Watch out for those class D MHPs

A few years ago I considered buying a mobile home park in Seagoville. 

I'm glad I've gone to a different asset class

And yet the one study on crime rates in MHPs vs. 'regular' neighborhoods documents "...no significant difference in population-weighted crime rates between blocks with mobile home communities and other types of residential blocks."

As a buyer of MHPs, I'm benefited by the fact other investors irrationally view MHPs as being 'dangerous' and don't compete with me for properties.
