California Labor Law Challenges and Solutions

How to Buy a Mobile Home Park and Turn It Around
When you buy a mobile home park that needs to be turned around (and most parks need some type of turnaround), the first thing you need to do is disengage the prior ownership/management. Face it, if the park is not running like it should be, you will most likely want to start over with a new management team. Even though the prior owner is usually to blame for the poor operations of the park, it is difficult to keep the prior managers that have been trained poorly or incorrectly. So, in most cases, fire everyone and start over. There are always exceptions to the rule, but they are few and far between. I have found that it is easier to train a new manager than to retrain the existing one.

Mobile Home Parks - How to Properly Enforce the Rules
Many mobile home park owners feel that it is their duty as the owner to rule with an iron hand. They think that they can cure all of the park's ills with rule after rule. At with many parks, the rules section is longer than the lease itself. But is the park any better off with "rules phobia"?

Some mobile home park buyers have this erroneous idea that the goal is to buy a great looking asset. They even rate the parks they look at based on physical appearance. The star system is a good example. Most people think a five-star park is always superior to a one star park. However, the only real star system they should consider is which park is a superstar on cash flow. Because at the end of the day, all that really matters when you own a mobile home park is making money. Parks that make money are great, no matter how ugly they are, and parks that lose money are dogs, despite how cute their entry may be. And, as a general rule, the prettier the park, the uglier the cash flow.

How to Rent a Mobile Home Park in a Tough Economy
You can't be a mobile home park owner and not realize that the good old days are over in filling up vacant mobile home park lots.

Back then, all you had to do was to meet with a few dealers, drop off some flyers, and you would start bringing in a home a week.
Finding and Evaluating Mobile Home Park Investments
Of all the questions I receive from investors that are looking to purchase a mobile home park there are two questions that are asked most often: 1) How do I find a mobile home park deal that makes sense? 2) How do I place a value on that mobile home park? These are important questions and there are several ways to find mobile home park investments and even more ways that one can approach evaluation of that investment.

California Labor Law Update: Recent Court Decisions Favor Employers
The State of California is notorious for its liberal, pro-employee court system and complex employment regulations.
