Hello BP!
I've been doing Airbnb out of my house and condo for the last 6 months and I just recently became a superhost and my partner and I are looking for more creative ways to Airbnb out units. I actually had to stop using my condo as an Airbnb and turn it into a corporate rental because the HOA banned all STR's. I don't know much about mobile home investing but I was wondering if there were any STR restrictions in mobile home parks or were they similar to owning your own house? I'm investing in DFW area in Texas so the city and state are on board with Airbnb but I didn't want to run across any bylaws by mobile home parks.

@Myka Artis everything is negotiable. If we are talking about big communities owned by large operators, you would not probably be able to do AIRBNB there. However, I know people who did that :)
In small communities, you should talk with the owners or park managers.

@Myka Artis congrats on becoming a superhost! I just got mine as well :)
I'm not sure about rental restrictions, but mobile home parks can be tricky because you are renting the land and have no control of how much it will increase (or how often). You are a renter and are at the mercy of the park owner. This could quickly eat into your profits over time so it's something to greatly consider.
