Investing in Mobile Home Parks

Mobile home parks are highlighted as a highly recession-resilient asset class, making them an attractive investment option during economic uncertainty. The average tenant in a mobile home park tends to stay for 10 to 12 years, significantly longer than those in multifamily housing, which results in lower turnover and stabilized income streams. The growing demand for affordable housing also positions mobile home parks favorably in the market, offering potential for steady, reliable returns even in tough economic times. Additionally, tax benefits associated with property depreciation further enhance the investment appeal of mobile home parks.
