Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision
Governing Mathematical Formula:
NOI = (Occupied Lots × Lot Rent × 12) × (1 - Operating Expense Ratio %)

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Tenant-Owned Home (TOH) Business Model

In pure MHP investing, the park owner owns ONLY the dirt and utility infrastructure. Tenants own the mobile homes, eliminating all appliance, roofing, and interior maintenance liabilities.

2
Gross Lot Rent Aggregation

Gross Annual Revenue = Total Pads × Occupancy% × Monthly Pad Rent × 12.

3
Submetering Margin Expansion

Submetering city water and sewer to tenants reduces the Operating Expense Ratio from 40% down to 28-30%, adding hundreds of thousands of dollars directly to asset value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do mobile home parks have the lowest tenant turnover in real estate? +
Moving a mobile home costs $5,000 to $10,000 in transport permits, teardown, and setup fees. Because homes are expensive to relocate, average tenant tenure in a well-managed MHP exceeds 10 to 15 years.
Why are new mobile home parks almost never built? +
Zoning restrictions. Municipalities almost universally refuse to grant new zoning permits for mobile home parks due to NIMBY opposition, making existing licensed parks grandfathered, non-replicable monopolies.
