Anyone Bought a Park Set Up as an HOA?
Hey guys- I'm looking at 2 small parks (23 pads total) sold together. - Sellers own 20 of 23 HOA “units” (all TOHs, $425 lot rent). - 3 resident-owned units pay $200/mo HOA fees. - HOA run informally by sellers, no HOA capital reserves. My concerns: 1. HOA admin burden & liability 2. Lengthy foreclosure process (rather than eviction) needed for non-paying owners 3. No reserves = big repairs would fall all on me 4. Refi/resale challenges with the HOA format Numbers look good, but ownership format feels risky. Has anyone run into this before? Worth pursuing or hard pass? Thanks!

I just want to circle back on this question for anyone interested. I recently had a chance to chat with an experienced MH park operator and apparently this HOA type of setup is more common than I originally thought. It doesn't seem to be a major issue to lenders or buyers if you own the vast majority of units (95%+), and really comes down to if the other condo owners are responsible in paying their fees and/or difficult individuals to deal with. You do have option to buy them out in the future as well. Hope that helps anyone who ever run across the same situation.
