EP480: Part 1 - Self-Storage vs. Mobile Home Parks: Which is the Superior Asset Class for Acquisitions?

On the Self-Storage side, we have Scott Meyers and Michael W. Wagner and on the Mobile Home side, we have Kevin Bupp and Ryan Narus. These four guys battle it out and break down which asset class is best in areas of Acquisitions, Dispositions, Financing, Management, and Construction! This episode dives into acquisitions.

"With mobile homes, you're signing up to an industry that's essentially dying a long, slow death and no change in sight on the horizon. You are also signing up for a life of fighting city hall."

"Everyone needs a roof over their head. Not everyone needs a place to store their junk. When times get tough, they will pay for a roof over their head."

"From an acquisitions standpoint, storage is a better asset class. Neither of you addressed how acquisitions are beneficial to the mobile home investor who wants to start today."

"25% of self-storage is owned by institutional buyers. 18% of that is publicly traded. Within mobile homes, only 2.5% of the supply is owned by publicly-traded REITs."
