Retire From Your Mobile Home Park — and Keep Getting Paid
Mobile home parks generate revenue primarily from lot rent paid by residents who own or rent their homes on leased land, producing long-duration, relatively stable tenancy.
Why Mobile Home Park Owners Struggle to Retire
Resident tenure in mobile home parks tends to be measured in years rather than months, which produces unusually stable, real-estate-like cash flow relative to other rental property types.
Why the Mobile Home Park Fits Our Model Well
Because residents often have long-term leases and personal investment in their homes, transitions are typically handled with particular attention to communication and continuity of existing lease terms.
What We Look At in a Mobile Home Park
- Occupied lot count and vacancy history
- Lot rent rate relative to local market comparables
- Infrastructure condition (utilities, roads, common areas)
- Resident-owned versus park-owned home mix
Typical Financial Profile
Mobile home parks with 40–60 occupied lots commonly generate $450K–$650K in revenue with 45–52% owner profit margins, reflecting low variable operating costs relative to lot rent income.
What Happens to Your Employees and Customers
Existing lease terms, lot rent rates, and property management practices are generally continued without change through a transition.
Selling Your Mobile Home Park: Common Questions
How do I sell my Mobile Home Park?
The most common options are a broker listing, a private equity sale, or a direct retirement partnership like ours. A broker listing can take 12–24 months and costs 10–12% in commissions. Private equity typically requires flipping the business in 3–5 years. We buy directly, transition at your pace, and pay you monthly from the profits instead of a lump sum — no bank, no broker, no auction.
What is my Mobile Home Park worth?
Most Mobile Home Parks are valued at 2–4x their annual owner profit (also called SDE — seller's discretionary earnings). A business generating $200K in annual profit might be worth $400K–$800K. The real question isn't just the number today, but how much you receive in total — and our structure often delivers more over time than a discounted lump-sum sale.
Can I retire from my Mobile Home Park without using a broker?
Yes. You don't need a broker to retire from your business. We work directly with owners — no listing, no public auction, no commission. The process is completely confidential, which means your employees and customers don't find out you're considering a transition until you decide to tell them.
What happens to my employees when I retire from my Mobile Home Park?
In our model, your employees keep their jobs. We're not a private equity firm looking to cut costs — your team is what makes the business valuable, and we protect that. Same crew, same roles, same pay. Employee retention is a core part of how we operate.
How long does it take to retire from my Mobile Home Park?
It varies by business, but most transitions are underway within 60–90 days of agreeing on terms. We take as long as the business actually needs for a clean handoff. Unlike a broker listing that can sit on the market for 1–2 years with no guarantee of closing, our process moves on a schedule that works for your situation.
Do resident lease terms change as part of a transition?
No — existing lease terms are typically honored and carried forward as-is.
Is the underlying land value assessed separately from the operating income?
The land and the operating business are generally assessed together, since park value depends on both the real estate and its occupancy performance.
