Manufactured Housing Community
Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, helps investors, owners, and lenders across Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, and the I-4 corridor put terms like this to work on real deals through Linton Global Solutions.
A manufactured housing community (MHC), often called a mobile home park, is a property where the owner leases lots to residents who typically own their manufactured homes.
Investors usually focus on lot rent income rather than the homes themselves.
Florida Regulation
In Florida, the relationship between park owners and home owners in many communities is governed by Chapter 723, Florida Statutes, the Florida Mobile Home Act, which addresses matters such as prospectus disclosure, lot rental increases, and notice requirements.
Investment Considerations
Review lot rent levels and history, park-owned homes, utility systems, compliance with Chapter 723, resident relations, and storm resilience. See due diligence.
A Hypothetical Example
A buyer of a Central Florida MHC reviews the prospectus, past rent increase notices, and the condition of water and sewer systems before closing. Hypothetical scenario; not legal advice.
From the Desk
In a manufactured housing deal, the pipes and the prospectus matter as much as the rent roll. Inspect both.
