Investment Info:

Other buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $60,000
Cash invested: $20,000

15 Unit Mobile home park

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Expanding, i went from having no room to expand since my debt to income was maxed at 3 properties to getting 15 units and plenty of expanding room.

How did you finance this deal?

Private Lender & Cash from selling 2 other properties

How did you add value to the deal?

It was worth twice what i payed for it before the upgrades i have done

What was the outcome?

1 year later i went from 3 rental units to 9 and have potential to add 6 more units

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Mobile home parks are more return for your money since they are all located on the same property the taxes and all other upkeep cost are minimized, compared to rental properties that are all seperate

Joseph, thanks for sharing your recent acquisition! I wish you success and it sounds like you got an incredible price. $60k for a 15 unit mobile home park equates to $4k/unit, which is outstanding! We have only purchased apartment complexes thus far (1,500+ units), but have strongly considered alternative investments like mobile home parks, as long as the numbers make sense. Happy to see how this turns out for you, keep us updated. Best of luck, safe investing!

    @Joseph Wilkins These are amazing number, cheers to that. Perhaps you can share a little experience, im located in Miami, FL and as many of those who join the BP universe i am looking for wisdom. Im a newbie in the RE world, i could say that i have purchased 1 apartment unit so far, i was lucky enough to purchase it back in 2014 when RE in South Florida was still accessible to investors like me and it has been already been paid off. 

    Fast forwarding to today 2020, no duplex, triplex or fourplex nor Mobile park homes are accesible to persons that make less than 40k a year in their main job/profession.

    1. would it be a wise movement to invest out-of-state? there are many properties in other states that can be found for less than 100K

    2. are there other financing options if my income does not meet the requirements to finance a property that is 200k? multifamily properties in FL average in the 200k, my income does not qualify me for a purchase this expensive.

    I look forward to your comments.

    May your investments be always prosperous.

    @Joseph Wilkins I’m also in Miami, was this mobile home park purchased here or out of state? Either way GREAT deal!
