Did you know that the southeast United States is the absolute best place to own a mobile home park as an investment? Many of the residents own their mobile homes and you simply lease the land, collect rent, and make sure any park-managed utilities are running smoothly. Residents of mobile home parks are some of the most loyal tenants around, far more loyal than apartment renters, and consistent.
We'd like to share this great investment opportunity with the Steemit community of investors, many of you who may never have considered a mobile home park as an investment property. It's fairly hands-off, too, though having a good manager or management company definitely helps, as with any rental property. Why collect rent from one tenant when you can collect from dozens, even hundreds, without the building maintenance?
If this one is a bit high in price, we have others with lower price points, and even seller-finance, at www.mcanuffgroup.com/featured-properties. Seller-finance is where the seller of the property agrees to be the bank for you. It's an attractive entry into a property without having to take out a hefty loan from an financial institution and often the seller is open to it because it still gives them a steady stream of income without ownership.
