don't forget about mowing, snow plow/salt, some turnover, taxes for your manager/workers comp, free lot rent, money for your management time, accounting software, LLC set up cost Your going to have more of a greeter in a park like this, which would be free lot rent only and maybe $5 a lot...smaller parks have really thin margins...if you have 2 tenants move out, die, leave town, get arrested, whatever, you then lose 14% of your tenant base and monthly income for the property, get to 5 tenants and your at 40% which could throw your loan into nonperforming very quickly unless your willing to come out of pocket on something like thisjust to show your top gross revenue will never equal 40,000(210*14*12=35,280)just do your diligence and i wouldn't pay more than 200k for something like this...and thats a stretch or if there willing to carry some of the papersomething this small, don't turnover to a property management company because they don't know what their doing normally with a park like this and their going to charge 10% of revenue probably.
