Mobile Home Park Airbnb
Just looking to see if anyone has thought of using a MHP as an Airbnb “unique” stay?
Not sure if it would be worth it.

It's been done but only in RV parks. "Glamping" (glamour camping) has been around for a few years now and people pay AirBNB prices for the novelty in staying in an updated Airstream or similar travel trailer. Some owners are reporting AirBNB revenues of up to a third of their gross revenue in great locations.
I don't think that you'd be successful with a mobile home park version of glamping unless you had just the right niche as most people have a very negative stereotype of "trailer parks" and would not want to stay there even for the novelty of it. You would need an audience that thinks of the glory days of mobile home parks (the Elvis years of 1950s and 1960s) and not the Eminem "8-Mile" version.
