Why Do Park Owned Homes Matter For Mobile Home Park Financing?

Did you know that lenders who make loans on mobile home parks prefer 10% or fewer park owned homes (homes owned by the park owner).  This is mostly because of the difference between tenants of the park that own their own manufactured homes and tenants that are leasing both the pad and the home.  The first, having a pride of home ownership, staying for 5 years or longer, and keeping their homes and yard in great condition.  The latter, renting the mobile home may stay for less than a year, have junk and old cars in their yards and may do little to maintain the home and landscaping. 

Mobile home park lenders also know that park owned homes have a much higher incidence of late paying or no paying residents, and much higher domestic problems resulting in tenants nearby being unhappy and sometimes moving out.  In most mobile home parks, the park is in first position on the home above the mortgage in the case that the tenant stops paying the pad rent.  Yes, the homeowner can lose their home to the mobile home park if they are often in default for more than one month.  Therefore they have a large incentive to pay their rent on time.
