Refinancing
I am looking at a small park (10 lots) where 5 lots are RV spaces and 5 lots are park owned mobile homes. I'm talking to the owner about seller financing with a low down payment (~90% LTV) and likely 5-7 years before a balloon payment. My question is if I will have a very difficult time refinancing out of this when the time comes because from what I understand, bank lenders only count lot rent and since it's a 50/50 mixed use park between RVs and MHs, they may exclude the RV income entirely. Is this true?

I would call local lenders around you to get a better idea. But I think most even with rv lots will take a look at the books and see your long term occupancy of the lots by mobile homes and still give a value for the income. One thing to think about is the price you are getting it for work with just refinancing based on just the 5 lots.
Section 8?
Has anyone bought a park with all Section 8 tenants? How does that work through the sale? Would you be concerned in buying a park that makes a lot of sense on Section 8, but not sure how well it might do if it wasnt for Section 8, if that makes sense?

Yes definitly wanna have escape plans and think about bank financing down the road for yourself or future buyers if not cash/seller financing.

@Jordan McCoy great thing with section 8 you can just look at the fair market rent for that county and raise pretty close to it and they will say yes or no. In my county it’s above fair market rent by a couple hundred dollars.

Depends on the seller and how they responded to you. If you offer was just a dart at a wall or actual interest. I have a seller who I meet/see every month for the past year and a half lol(real estate meetup). I know they were talking selling last year and I was pretty hot and heavy and could tell that dosent work with this seller/ (was fixing park up first). Didn’t say anything about it for the first three months of this year. Finally brought it up again this year and finally selling it confirmed this year after they fix up ONE final unit before taking it to market( to me 😉) Meeting a different set of sellers tomorrow, just they are seperate partners and one has little kids and the flu going around, has pushed the talk between the partners off for a couple days. So it wasn’t my offer just life lol
Spanish
Curious how many operators speak Spanish? As I eat here at a Mexican restaurant and think about my tenant base. I feel like it would be a huge plus for tenants and labor market. My dad also learned/speaks some Spanish:understands a good amount just because the tenants.

Multiple streams of income
So I am currently starting to learn flipping MHs, renting MHs. I believe this will help me gain some good knowledge for MHPs as well as being in the parks locally in both of my markets, I will gain trust and leverage when the owners sell, maybe not now but down the road. This will also enable me to build some capital for either myself or potential JV partnerships down the road! This will almost pull all aspects of parks together. @Michael Pansolini @Ryan Narus @Connor Cogdill @Tiernan Laue let me hear your thoughts. I know I haven'tbeen as active as I was earlier, I'm really working more on my physical health and it's helped me light the fires again!

I think it’s definitely worth a shot. I do still think just being in contact with the owners consistently will eventually get you one owner saying hey wanna buy the whole park. Health is wealth!
