Core concepts

Lot-rent model

Tenants own homes; operator collects $200–600/mo lot rent.

Affordability moat

Limited new supply (zoning) + strong workforce demand.

Examples

  • 80-pad park at $375 average lot rent = $30k/mo gross.

Practical applications

  • Yield-focused investors.
  • Inflation-hedged cash flow.

Common mistakes

  • Buying parks with high park-owned home ratio.
  • Underestimating infrastructure capex (water/sewer).
