I am analyzing some deals that have 50% or higher TOH (Tenant owned homes) on MHP (Mobile home park). I am running into some unknowns. Does anyone know what is the usual expense ratio of MHP deals that have this type of high TOH. Let’s say a typical park of 10 pads with all occupied and are TOH.

I would second @Jordan Moorhead.

The biggest factor will be your amenities like a clubhouse, park, pool etc (CAPX) and your utility set-up. Good set-ups can be fine on septic tanks but you can also have nightmare scenarios with septic tanks. 


I would never guess on these numbers though, you need to get historical data.

    30-40% is a typical expense ratio, on the lower end if they pay all utilties

    @Jordan Moorhead While you are exploring opportunities in mobile home parks, get a no cost estimate for a cost segregation study, when you start focusing on one or two. You will benefit if you don't have to pay taxes for a while until you get the upgrades in place and work on increasing your rents. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
