Background
An investor reached out to us looking to sell one of the mobile home parks in his real estate portfolio. The seller describes himself as realizing he’s “not a mobile home park owner” and is looking to sell quickly.

One thing we discovered early on in our process is that despite being in a semi-rural area, there is unmet rent demand across the county. We spoke with 2 different Sheriff deputies as well as a local real estate agent and representatives of the City and County government. People need a place to live, even in rural areas!

Tenants
Every tenant is on a Rent to Own agreement. Of the 5 empty trailers, there are 3 that need ~$5k of work to make habitable and the other 2 have water damage. Those will cost more but we didn’t get estimates on just how much. You could also consider removing the 2 and bring in used trailers or get a Lonnie dealer to do that for you.

Due Diligence
We have a complete due diligence package including Bank Statements, Account Ledger, Rent Roll, Tax Returns, Titles and more. We also have several pictures to share.

Here are some quick facts about the park:

Owner has all titles to trailers
1 septic per 2 MH homes
Possible to add more trailers to the land – NO ZONING RESTRICTIONS
Strategy
The purchaser of park could consider moving to a resident owned community asap (e.g. sell the trailers to the existing tenants) immediately upon purchase and sell the trailers needing repair as handyman specials.

This park can be managed remotely and, if you’re looking to do this remotely, note that there is property management in place already that has strong connections to contractors and other key commercial property resources. You can also consider connecting with an asset manager.

Terms
Terms are all cash, 30 day close.
