If you will be attending the Biloxi Show I would like the opportunity to meet with you and introduce any connections, you might need.

Has anyone completely demoed a park in phases? I had a deal brought to me in Texas in an awesome area. I’ve seen some rough parks, but this is a complete junkyard. 11 occupied POHs and 24 vacant homes. This park is in a growing area and down the street from 5 mobile home dealers (2 of which I personally know and used to work with.) My thought would be to slowly demo the homes, restructure the pads and work with the dealers to fill the pads. I’m just not sure how I would get a loan on this property? Any thoughts here?

These are some of the conversations that unfold inside our group mentorship program: Question on the table: What is actually harder with infill, new homes or used homes? • Short answer from operators in the trenches: both. • New homes: • Usually easier logistically. • Factory delivery is cleaner and more predictable. • Still not foolproof. • Axle issues from the factory happen more often than people expect. • State code can trigger extra site prep depending on location. • Used homes: • Hardest part is sourcing them. • Facebook Marketplace becomes a daily habit. • You need homes that are worth moving, not just cheap. • Prep work matters. • Utilities must be disconnected. • Skirting, decks, tie downs, and steps all need coordination. • Transport requires the right contractors at the right time. • State specific nuance matters. • In places like Illinois, new homes can trigger heavier code requirements. • Used homes can often move in without upgrades that new homes require. This is why infill is not passive. This is why spreadsheets lie if you do not understand operations. This is why real operators talk through this stuff live. If you think infill is just buying a home and dropping it on a pad, you are underestimating the work!
