This week’s question comes from Adri) on the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group. Adri is asking: I came across a seller financed mobile home park, this would be my first out of state investment. What should I be looking out for on MHP (mobile home parks) and is this a huge jump to make while still being a rookie?
While we can’t answer how ready Adri is for investing in a mobile home park) (we believe in you), we can answer questions about what to look for when evaluating a MHP deal). Before you consider investing, you’ll need to look at some mobile-home-park-specific factors.
Here are some suggestions:
Make sure you** get accurate financials, especially a T12 rent roll**
Look at the utilities and see whether they’re public or private (wells and septics)
Look at the capital expenditures (capex))** of the entire park**
Find out **who owns the **trailers/mobile homes) and evaluate whether the current ownership is advantageous to you
If you’re still nervous, partner up with someone)** more experienced!**
And more in the episode…
