James Court Mobile Home Park is a gated community (All Ages) comprised of a total of 5 single-wide mobile home park spaces plus 17 RV lots with drains, 6 apartment units, plus a Single-Family Home (3B/2B). This paved park is serviced by public City water and City sewer, electrical is sub-metered and all but one unit is direct metered for gas. The majority of the mobile homes / RVs are Tenant Owned, except one park - owned unit (remodeled) plus stick built apartments. James Court operates as a 55+ community however there are no restrictions or permit requirements for all ages.
The ownership has completed an extensive renovation of the community which includes a new mechanical entry gate, slurry coating on paved roads, remodeled laundry facility, all the gas meters, house has undergone a full interior remodel including new roof within the last two years, and interior remodel to 1 Bedroom apartment. Space rents are $550 per month per month, however the market rates are $650, plus tenants reimburse sub-metered electrical / gas to the ownership which direct bills the residents.
The MHP is cash-flowing with in-place rents, yet there's an additional $3,850 in potential space rent income leasing the available (6) vacant spaces, equating to a 10.3% proforma cap rate!
The spaces are in high demand, although the ownership is very thorough when approving applicants. The market supports residents bringing in their own MH/RV and leasing the pad space. Furthermore, three (3) of the apartment units are leased to long-term tenants at 50% of market rents which over time or vacating should be increased to market rate.
The ownership self-manages James Court utilizing an onsite manager to help coordinate showings, vendors, and any maintenance repairs.
