Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #107 that originally aired on March 12, 2019. Kevin Bupp speaks with manufactured housing finance expert Jerry Muir. He is Managing Director at Greystone working with the Agency Lending Team with a primary focus on building out and expanding their manufactured housing lending platform. Jerry is a 25 year veteran of Fannie Mae and, during his time as Director of Multifamily Credit underwriting Fannie Mae, was responsible for a 12-state southeast region. He had dual roles in developing and managing the manufactured housing community lending platform. Impressively, he has overseen north of 10 billion in financing. Quotes: "You might not have the prettiest homes in there but if it's a well-run community, it's stable, it's going to do well." "Our manufactured housing community, because you've got so much stability because it costs so much for a resident to take his home and move it to another park (I mean it could be in excess of $7000), they're not just going to move down the road like in the multifamily property." "If you've got a tier 2 loan on the property and you want to do a supplemental, you would get tier 2 pricing on the supplemental, basically." "Their regulator, the FHFA, basically restricts the amount of business the two agencies can do and they call it cap or uncapped business. An uncapped business is they can do as many loans as they want in that space." "They really open to more people and make it more affordable for them to get into a home and get into a park, no question about it.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve personally been flooded with emails from people who asked questions relating to this topic.

This is broken down into four basic sections.

![]() Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #27 that originally aired on Sep. 27, 2016. Charles and I will be speaking about our recent experience in a park we own in Raeford, NC. We recently acquired this park and quickly realized that both the on-site management and maintenance staff needed to be replaced ASAP! We discuss how we quickly identified the challenges associated with their poor performance and how we handled the transition with a completely new management team. This is a common scenario you will experience when purchasing turnaround or distressed mobile home parks and so we thought you might learn from our personal experience.

![]() Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #67. When you start looking at parks, you will begin to notice revenue items such as Late Fees, Application Fees, and Other Income. Brokers and sellers alike will try to tell you that it is appropriate to capitalize these income sources. I’m here to tell you that that is not necessarily the case! One of the great things about owning mobile home parks is that your average lot renter is an extraordinarily stable tenant. So, how much money do you really think you’ll be getting from application fees year in and year out? The same goes for late fees. It is true that you will receive late fee income through the year. However, this should not be a significant source of income for any park. If it is, you may need to ask yourself if this is truly a stable and reliable tenant base. The “Other Income.” We’ve seen “other income” run as high as half the park’s revenue. Brokers and sellers will put whatever they can think of in this category. Single family homes, small apartments, self-storage, vending machines, laundry income, etc. For these items, we prefer to break out the separate income streams and evaluate the reliability of each separately. We also want to see the expenses broken out for each to determine if they are truly worth having. This gives us a complete picture of what we are buying rather than lumping it together in vagueness. When looking at your next deal, add together these revenue items and multiply them by 10. The number you come up with is the amount you could potentially be overpaying if you don’t have a handle on these items.
