Calling all current owners and managers of mobile home parks! Clayton is throwing an event alongside Rent Manager and others at the Louisville show! @Mike Niebauer (an absolute legend in the industry and just an all around great guy as well) asked me to share the following event form with all of you!

Please note that this event is only for current operators or owners, so if you don't yet have a park, please do not sign up for this event!

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!
