Passive Investing: Self-storage vs. mobile home parks
A couple days ago I posted a thread about MF vs. REITs and learned a bunch from respondents. I'd love to try it again with two different assets that were really popular the last few years...SS and MHP! "Let the friendly and respectful battle begin!"
If you had $25,000 - $100,000 to invest passively would you rather passively invest in self-storage or mobile home park syndications as a limited partner (LP)? Pretend you are a busy mid-career professional with $200-400k income (e.g., dentist or successful small-business owner) but don't have time to become a general partner and take on the extra work. Open to introduction of other options that people like better than these two.

It depends on the operators more than most other factors in my opinion.
Also assuming the operators are equally excellent in both, i'd want to see a higher return AND appropriately conservative underwriting in the mobile home space. If those are both true, then I'd probably park the funds in the MH fund.
