Deep dives
Investing in Mobile Home Parks
Investing in mobile home parks is highlighted as a recession-resilient asset class, providing potential investors with opportunities to diversify their portfolios. The tenant retention rate is notably high, with average tenants staying 10 to 12 years compared to shorter durations in multifamily residential settings. This long-term occupancy contributes to steady income streams, making mobile home parks attractive for generating reliable returns even during economic downturns. Additionally, the depreciation benefits associated with these investments can enhance the tax advantages for property owners.
