Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #60.

Charles and I will discuss mistake #15 from our popular eBook, “The 21 Biggest Mistakes Investors Make When purchasing their First Mobile Home Park…and how to avoid them.”

 There are times when using the owner’s expenses can work in your favor and there are times where it can work against you. As with any business venture, there are certain expenses you have to take into account. Virtually every property we have pursued has had some of their expenses under reported or completely left off of the profit and loss statements. So how do you determine what you are buying and what the appropriate operating expenses should be?

 Typically, we will start out assuming that any park the pays for water/sewer or has private utilities will have an expense load close to 45-55%. If the park is on city water/sewer and the residents are billed for the usage, we typically assume an expense load closer to 30-35%. This is usually a good rule of thumb on the “eye ball” test but each deal will require you to put a microscope on each expense in order to get a truly realistic budget.

Welcome to the Mobile Home Park Academy podcast. In this episode, Charles and I will discuss mistake number 14 from our popular eBook, “The 21 Biggest Mistakes Investors Make When purchasing their First Mobile Home Park…and how to avoid them.”

As you go out into the market place and look for deals, a common theme you’ll see is that virtually none of the marketing packages pitched by brokers have a yearly allowance for capital expenditures. You must budget for these large capital items down the road.

Every park will be different on this subject based on its unique characteristics. Parks with a large volume of park owned units will obviously require more frequent home repairs. Parks on private utilities will require you to save larger sums of money to deal with potential utility problems. Parks with dirt and gravel roads will need more frequent repairs to stay in good working order.
