Here Are the Show Highlights:

-       Top-performing The MHP broker Ryan Ramseur got interviewed by Max on his recent transaction selling Hawk’s Nest Mobile Home Park in metro Tampa, FL.  (Max, 0:22)

-       This was a 43-pad park with a well water and septic system for which the park owner was also the licensed operator. One major sales perk was that the owner was willing to stay on for awhile after the sale to help the new owner get established and make the transition as smooth as possible. (Ryan, 1:23)

-       Ryan was able to get almost list price for the property, which was a stable asset and a turnkey operation. He was also able to show the new owner the potential for increasing rents to get them up to market value. (Ryan, 2:06)

-       One takeaway that Ryan learned was that pride of ownership really shows, and increases the value of a park. The seller was very much a hands-on, involved owner who knew every tenant by name. By steadily investing in your property you can command a higher price when you go to sell. (Ryan, 2:42)
