Tim Y. Should I purse this mobile home park?
12 August 2019 | 15 replies
I am a believer in being a deal "maker" rather than a deal "killer" but there are some things you need to know about this deal:1) Assuming that the lot rent is around $200 per month (guessing based on the numbers you posted) you'd have total revenue on REAL property of $3,400 per month.2) The expense ratio on this deal is closer to 50% due to small size and private utilities, hence a net income of $16,800 per year.3) At a 10% cap rate (I wouldn't go any lower due to rural location) the value of the REAL property is only $168,000 plus the value of the mobile homes which are PERSONAL property and cannot be "capped" (figure on maybe $3,000 per home x 14 = $42,000) so the total value of REAL and PERSONAL property is roughly $210,000 NOT $325,000.4) A park in a rural setting like this would have to have a strong test ad result (20 calls in 10 days) or the market is too weak to support the property.Based on experience, I would think this would only work in Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming or some state in which there is still high levels of demand for rural housing and economic vitality to push rents in the future.
