Here Are the Show Highlights Eric recently sold a two-park portfolio in the Talladega, AL area. They were good parks, with city water and nearly full occupancy. But there were also challenges, such as the fact that both parks had fewer than 30 pads, and it was a mix of park-owned and tenant-owned homes. Also, there weren’t a multitude of qualified buyers in the local economy. As a result of the various challenges, the parks sat on the market for four months. Then a buyer’s agent approached Eric with a client who was a local investor who could buy one of the parks with no financing. As a result, that park closed quickly, in about 30 days. (Eric, 1:22) This sale proves that even smaller markets can sell. It was a good job on Eric’s part, especially when you factor in that Talladega is a very small town, with few potential investors. (Max, 3:13) • It was a win-win for everybody. (Eric, 4:29) Do you have a smaller-market mobile home park with all sorts of challenges thrown in?
