Seller Financing For Mobile Home Parks

Send us Fan MailA park owner tells you their mobile home park is worth top dollar. Your math says it is not even close. So what do you do next without burning the relationship or wasting a week chasing a fantasy? We walk through two real seller calls that show how we handle high asking prices, find the real reason someone wants out, and use a simple valuation framework to stay disciplined. We start with the process: training a VA to talk to mobile home park owners, pull the basics, and tee up the leads that are worth a direct call. From nine leads, we narrow down to the conversations that have a chance. Then we break down a 22-space park where the owner is a multifamily guy who is tired of being hands-on with park management. That motivation matters, because it makes owner financing and a clean transition more appealing than a perfect price. We talk through the numbers, the NOI reality check, and the terms that can bridge the gap. You will hear how we structure seller financing for a mobile home park with clear components: 20% down, interest that makes sense to the seller, a long amortization for cash flow, and a five-year balloon to give everyone an exit. We also hit the underwriting pitfalls that show up fast, like understated expenses when owners self-manage and how adding property management can change the true deal. We close with a second 19-space park call and the lesson that keeps repeating: price moves when terms solve the seller’s problem. If you care about mobile home park investing, seller financing, underwriting, due diligence, and negotiating with motivated sellers, this one is built for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who is chasing their first park, and leave a review with the one term you negotiate first.Support the show🎧 Enjoyed this episode?
