Mobile home parks?

I've looked into mobile/manufactured homes as an option but with lot rent it seems like it may not be worth it.

Now that I am in position, I would like to place a mobile home to generate some passive income, but I don't want to use my savings for the down payment.

With $65,000 invested in strategic renovations, we transformed the home by modernizing key areas and enhancing its curb appeal.

Maybe mobile home parks?

Unlike long-term rentals, STRs can be treated as non-passive, allowing depreciation deductions, including bonus depreciation (40% in 2025) on eligible assets.For tiny homes, tax classification matters:If mobile, it is considered personal property, allowing 100% depreciation under §179, subject to income limits.

It’s a fully renovated, modern-styled, 2-story townhouse with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a basement in Baltimore County, where I live.

If the RV is not permanently affixed and retains mobility, it is considered personal property and depreciated over 5 years under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).

If you can get land for a good price and let's say build a modern quad with 1200 sqft 2 bed 2 bath units and garages for $200/sqft you are looking at about a million.

Upgrading countertops to granite or quartz, installing high-end appliances, modern cabinetry, and stylish fixtures can significantly raise ARV.
