Self-Storage vs Mobile Home Park for Absentee Owner

[Eddie Pfeifer]

In your experienced opinion, which is more feasible for an out-of-state (3+ hour flight or so) owner, MHP or SS?

Regarding an on-site manager, at what point does it become financially feasible to have one onboard? I realize this is a nebulous question so feel free to use whatever parameter you choose to answer

I own a boat & rv storage facility which, unlike self-storage, does NOT require on-site management. We have close to 100 tenants now and handle new prospects, sign-ups and day-to-day management all remotely with part-time help from my brokerage administrator that does double-duty for the boat & rv storage business. 

I do visit the property occasionally, no more than once a week but sometimes once every two weeks - just to see if the yard has been mowed and make sure everything looks ok.
