Mobile Home Parks? Many people don't consider mobile home parks to be the next thing in real estate - yet, they are a great way to create value. Imagine this, over the past year there has been an 83% increase in the number of mobile home parks sold that surpassed the one million dollar price point. Add in that 19% more buyers are residing in the Pacific Northwest and you can see how this market is becoming something of a special commodity.
They Have a Superior ROI
Between attractive rental spreads and value-added opportunities, mobile home parks provide some of the most predictable returns out there. For 12 months ending in March 2015, the gross returns for three major home parks operators hit 44% according to the Wall Street Journal. At the same time, most people lived 400 km away from their investment.
Lower Cost and Ease of Ownership
One of the most common excuses most people lean on to justify not purchasing direct real estate investments in their portfolios - upkeep. We have all heard tales about high maintenance tenants that want help unclogging toilets, changing a light bulb, unlocking the door when they forget their key. It seems too good to be true, but mobile home park investing eliminates that dynamic.
In mobile home parks, residents own their own units. You collect the pad rent. So if they lock themselves out, break something, or want new appliances - that's all up to them and comes out of their pocket. You would be the park owner, and you are only responsible for the landscaping and any other community features you choose to include.
