Description
•Due to Iowa's new law stating a park owner must give tenants 90-day notice to increase rent, the current owner has already made tenants aware of a price increase from $400 to $430 effective Jan. 1, 2024.
• This park has 21 total lots, but only 14 of them are currently occupied. A new owner could bring in homes to sell to new tenants, rent on contract, or rent as park-owned homes to increase revenues and the value of the property.
•The subject property is served by 100% public utilities, with current
ownership paying for water which is billed back to residents. The
park roads are currently gravel.
• Current ownership lives out of state and utilizes a local manager that
lives nearby. They had worked for the previous owner and know the
property and the tenants well. They are currently paid $175 per month and assist with posting notices and other activities as needed. This would make the property an easy transition for both local and out of state buyers.
