Mobile home buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $775,000
Cash invested: $110,000

Closed on my first 17-pad manufactured home park with seller financing—30-year note at 5% interest. Still owned by the original owner, it was a huge value-add. We installed a new road, replaced the entire well system, cleaned up the park, and brought in dumpsters. Pad rents were under market and will be raised in August. There's also a 1 bed / 1 bath SFH on-site we'll be renting out soon. Still a work in progress, but big upside ahead.
