Hi @Zachary Phelan, @Thomas S. Brings up a good point. When you have a park where less than 40% of the homes are park owned then you will have many more commercial lending options open up for you. The 30 year term with 7.5% interest you mentioned hearing at first is totally realistic if you have this Tenant Owned/Park Owned Ratio I'v described.
Lenders really only want to lend based on the value of the land + improvements (lot rent).
IF you have a hairier deal with more POHs you MUST get lot rent separated from home rent on the rent roll..... As a broker, I have to really put on my salesman cap and tailor my approach when pushing MH parks to lenders because they all of their own nuances but as anyone who has analyzed them knows, they can be cash cows and great investments!
@Zoe Mercier where are you looking at parks?
I recommend anyone on this thread tune into Jefferson Lilly's podcast Mobile Home Park Investors. (from Park St. Partners) It's one of my favorites.
