Recession Proof Your Mobile Home Park
A recession is knocking at the doorstep of America’s economy. Living in a recession is not easy and you need to prepare. With adequate preparation, it is possible not just to survive, but to prosper during a recession.
During a recession everyone wants to cut costs. Housing is no exception to this rule. Peoplle want cheap housing. So now when you want to bring mobile homes into your park, get older, uglier ones rather than nice new homes. The former can be easily sold or rented. With no mortgage payments, the customer will then only have to pay lot rent. This way you can build a more solid tenant base.
Secondly as a mobile park owner you have to be a tough collector. Let tenants know that if they do not pay in time, they might be evicted. Make sure your mobile home rent is high on the tenant’s priorities. Make sure the lot rent is raised annually. Don’t raise it beyond a point though.
See that costs are cut. Don’t spend more than you have to. Don’t pre pay for anything and if you want a loan renewal prepare for it well in advance. See what best acquisitions you can make and make them. By following a few ground rules you can survive, and prosper in the terrible cycle that is recession.
