I am trying to structure a MHP deal. Is 25% down a deal killer? Property Type - MHP Offer Price - $1,347,597 Units - 24 Annual Income - $171,366 Annual Expenses - $68,547 (used a default of 40% because his expenses were lower) Occupancy - 95% NOTE: Park owned homes from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Owner Finance Offer – Mortgage Purchase price - $1,347,597. Down payment - $327,087. Interest – 2.5%. Monthly payment - $4,032 principal and interest. The buyer will pay taxes and insurance, and these are separate from the monthly payment. Term – 60 months. Balloon payment at the end of the term for the remaining balance. Approximate balance at time of payoff - $898,818. Seller will net $1,428,590 for the property over 60 months. The cash-on-cash is greater than 13%. Is 25% down a deal killer?

Hey guys, quick question — what’s the average expense ratio you’re seeing for parks that are 100% brand new park-owned homes with city utilities?

How does everyone manage there lead flow? Is there a good software to manage this? I have VA’s that can data enter if I need to.

Big headline: Brookfield is reportedly in advanced talks to buy Yes! Communities from GIC for over $10 billion. If finalized, this would make Brookfield one of the largest—if not the largest—owners of mobile home parks in the U.S. Here’s why this matters for us: I used to work for Brookfield. Back then, I was in portfolio management for our Mobile Home Park Portfolio, so I had a front-row seat to how they think about scale, capital allocation, and risk. To now see them moving to take down Yes! is surreal—it’s a full-circle moment for me. For small and mid-size operators, the lesson is clear: Institutions aren’t slowing down. They’re chasing massive portfolios and are willing to pay premiums for scale. Our edge is agility. While Brookfield’s strategy is financial engineering on a global scale, we can still pick off the fragmented deals, add operational value, and generate returns that compete pound-for-pound. Market signal: When a firm like Brookfield puts $10B into MHPs, it’s confirmation this asset class is here to stay. The largest capital allocators in the world see the same thing we do: manufactured housing is the backbone of affordable housing. Takeaway: This isn’t a sign that “all the good deals are gone.” It’s a sign the big boys are playing in a different arena. Their game is scale. Ours is speed, creativity, and boots-on-the-ground execution.

A broker insists that a personal guarantee from the buyer is required for the seller to sign the purchase agreement. Let's have a little fun. If you are an investor, please provide your vote below. Please read the below definition before voting. A personal guarantee on a business loan is a legally binding agreement where an individual, typically a business owner, promises to repay the loan from their personal assets if the business defaults. This means the lender can go after the guarantor's personal assets, such as their home, savings, or investments, to cover the debt if the business can't repay it.
