Some park owners ended up in a "term default" during this period due to bad luck or the failure to start early enough in obtaining a refinance given market conditions.The only difference between the two asset classes during and after a recession is that the demand for lower price-point housing costs is higher ($280 national lot rent average in mobile home parks vs. roughly $1,250 per month in apartments) so the phone rings a whole lot more at mobile home parks and the potential to raise rents is much greater given the fact that mobile home park lot rents are absurdly low to begin with, as a result of mom & pop "quantitative easing".
