Welcome back to the Passive Mobile Home Park Investing Podcast, hosted by Andrew Keel. In this episode of the Passive Mobile Home Park Investing Podcast our host Andrew Keel guides us through the seemingly simple process of making a million dollars buying a mobile home park.

Did you know that by buying an 80 lot mobile home park in a good market and simply raising rents $30/ year for 3 years, you can make $1 million? It seems simple, but in this episode I unravel why this is NOT A GUARANTEE.

Andrew Keel defines what he thinks a prime market looks like for mobile home parks by focusing on things like poverty levels, population dynamics, top employers, and market rents.

Andrew talks about current mobile home park investment costs and the potential returns, the impact of higher interest rates, and what to expect if they decrease.

Andrew also highlights the significance of understanding the value of a single occupied mobile home park lot and emphasizes the importance of thorough due diligence and partnering with experienced investor operators to make a million dollars in this niche investment arena.
