These will be: The bare minimum of what a manager needs to be able to do Things that a manager can do to potentially get paid more money Things a manager should not be doing How to find a manager for your park We'll cover everything from A to Z as it relates to running a successful mobile home park.

One of the most resilient asset classes in commercial real estate is Mobile Home Parks. Almost no new parks have been built in the last couple decades, and many parks are being repurposed for higher and better use. Mobile Home Parks are the most affordable housing option that has wide appeal to renters getting squeezed by inflation. Patrick McDonald, Principal of Community Management Group, owns and operates 26 parks, mostly in the Northwest. He is fully vertically integrated and has occupancy of 98% across his parks. Given the scarcity of these parks, Patrick is a long-term holder and targets a return of capital via refinance within five to six years.

Why Mobile Home Parks Deliver High ValueUltra‑Low Entry Cost: CRE access at micro price points.Recession‑Resistant Cash Flow: Stable lots income with minimal landlord capital needs.Scalability: Bulk acquisitions or infrastructure improvements can quickly compound property value and income while still benefiting from depreciation.5.

Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #19 that originally aired on Aug. 19, 2016. Charles and I will be discussing how to successfully turnaround and reposition a distressed mobile home park. Buying a turnaround park isn't for everyone, but if executed properly, your efforts should reward you handsomely in both substantial returns on your investment as well as huge amounts of built in equity and cash flow. But on the flipside, buying the wrong distressed park might potentially lead you into a downward tailspin, which will inevitably lead you to a financial loss. Our goal is to educate you so that you only buy the distressed parks that make sense.

The practice in grading mobile home parks with the "star" rating (usually one to five stars), which exists for no other type of commercial real estate. What makes this interesting is that almost no one who uses the rating knows what it means or where it comes from. Ask a broker, lender, or even large corporate operators what the difference is between a three-star and a five-star park, and you will likely get a muddled response referring to amenities, paved streets, or swimming pools, but no hard data about how the stars are assigned or who does it.
