Would love to chat about MHP investing!
Welcome Tyler, apart from the occupation it sounds like we’re pursuing the same goals and initial MHC acquisition (I’m in Michigan, but pursuing Michigan/Ohio/Indiana area 30-50 pad public utility community). This is the best forum I’ve ever come across and I was lucky enough to find a great mentor here who’s been invaluable advising me as I search for my first property and ensuring I miss no red flags.
They’re a bit outdated (mainly regarding POH to TOH conversion notes as they were written before SAFE/Dodd Frank), but I also found the following books to be extremely helpful:
Mobile Home Wealth Part 2 (Part 1 is about the homes, part 2 is about parks) - Zalman Velvel (available on Amazon Kindle).
How to Find, Buy, Manage and Sell a Manufactured Home Community - George Allen (out of print and not on kindle, but worth the investment for a used copy).
The park street partners and mobile home university (Sunrise Capital) podcasts are also phenomenal assets.
I have not attend the boot camp yet (need to do so later this year), but consensus is it’s worth every penny.
Feel free to give me a call sometime, while we haven’t made our first acquisition yet it’s clear this is a great niche with a great community of helpful investors. 248-763-9983.
Welcome. I also would recommend the boot camp. Just did the Charleston boot camp and it was worth every dollar. I’d also recommend the recordings on MHU from Frank.
@JasonS
Good to hear. I am currently planning on the boot camp in Pittsburgh July 12,13 and 14. I will check out the recordings on MHU from Frank - thanks for recommending!
Hi Tyler,
Welcome! I’m a new member as well, and like you, I’ve been spending time watching the various videos by and about Frank and Dave. and also some of the other MHP investing websites, and reading this forum and its been fun and informative. Have been considering doing the boot camp as its so highly recommended by folks on this site.
We’re hoping to find and purchase our first park soon - best of luck to you on your search.

hello tyler … I am looking for myfirst park also after lurking and reading for a couple of years, I was sidetracked with family obligations.
I have capital set aside to invest and presently looking for parks within driving distance from Memphis tn so MO, ARK, OH, are markets I prefer. I would also welcome a discussion on working together as I believe it helps to have supporting skill sets.
@DeanS
