Do You "Park and Pray"?
A common theme amongst investors is to become complacent when things are going well or the market is quiet. This reminded me of a term we use in the industry known as "park and pray". Read on to learn more!
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"? I have tested operating parks with extreme rules enforcement, and also with virtually no rules enforcement at all. And I think I have found the solution to successful park rules.
Why Good Looking Mobile Home Parks Have Ugly Returns
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. Those of us who owned parks in the late 1990s became spoiled with how easy it was to fill up a mobile home park. 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.

What's Your Dream Worth?
Anyone who’s known me for more than 90 seconds knows that the words “Dream Big” show up a LOT in my life. You’ll see them at the end of every one of my emails and just about everywhere else in my digital “footprint” not just as an upbeat catchphrase, but because these words have real meaning for me and for my family. When you’re powered by a dream that truly inspires you, you’re going to be unstoppable. I was reminded of this again in a vivid way as I experienced the Walt Disney World theme park through the eyes of my daughter Jayden this week.
Which Comes First - Website Design or Logo?
What is the best way forward – buy a WordPress Theme and then get your logo and website header designed to use in the theme or do this the other way around? Can most logos and headers be integrated into WordPress Themes or should they be specially created to “fit” a specific theme?
Don\'t Promise Too Much
