In this episode, we dive into the art of evaluating mobile home park deals by breaking down the hidden risks that can make or break your investment. From utilities and their long-term sustainability, to the nuances of RTO (rent-to-own) and POH (park-owned homes) risk, to collections and even the liability of accepting cash and checks — every piece matters when sizing up a deal.

We’ll walk through how to balance risk and upside, stick to your predetermined deal parameters, and avoid talking yourself into a bad acquisition. You’ll hear practical frameworks for setting your criteria ahead of time — including park size, location, utility setup, TOH/POH mix, and return profile — so that when opportunities arise, you can confidently submit quality offers without letting emotion or deal fever cloud your judgment.

If you want to sharpen your underwriting skills, protect yourself from downside, and build long-term success in mobile home park investing, this episode will give you the tools and mindset to evaluate deals the right way.

1. Transition from Private Sewer to City Sewer Transitioning a mobile home park from a private sewer system to a city sewer connection is one of the most significant – and often intimidating – infrastructure projects an owner can take on. In this episode, we break down the process step by step: from assessing existing infrastructure, working with municipalities, and understanding permitting requirements, to the financial side of funding, grants, and long-term ROI. We’ll talk about the risks and headaches of private systems, the value creation that comes with tapping into city sewer, and how to weigh costs against improved collections, higher cap rates, and easier financing. Whether you’re considering a conversion, in the middle of one, or just want to understand how it impacts valuations, this episode gives you the playbook and real-world lessons for making the transition smooth and profitable.
