20% of Americans earn less than $20,000 per year and lack of affordable housing is a major problem. Mobile home parks offer a solution.
As the need for affordable housing increases, the supply of mobile home parks is decreasing. There are approximately 44,000 mobile home parks with the least 4 units in the United States, and every year about 1% of those mobile home parks are converted into other developments.
In the event of a recession, higher end apartments and single-family homes are more likely to feel the impact, whereas lower-priced homes such as mobile homes should remain flat or potentially even increase due to increased demand.
Maintenance costs for mobile home parks are approximately 5% of revenue. This is because tenants who own their own homes assume responsibility for maintenance and repairs of their homes along with managing their own utility payments.
Many residents own their own homes, and the cost of moving their home can be expensive ($5k-$10k), so tenant turnover tends to be low.
Value-add through in-fill, bringing up to date deferred maintenance, implementing automated and energy efficient processes rent increases and improving the overall living environment are all factors that can significantly increase NOI.
The data analysis and underwriting process for mobile home parks is time-intensive, creating a low competition environment for investors.
Of the approximately 44,000 mobile home parks in the United States, roughly 40,000 are run by mom-and-pop ownership. Many of these owners are not keeping up with quality maintenance of the living environments, providing plenty of opportunity for improvement.
