The Principals of MHP Funds, LLC ("MHPF") and their affiliated companies have the 6th largest mobile home park portfolio in the country with over 19,000 lots in over 165 parks in 28 states.

The Principals have established proven systems for handling all aspects of mobile home park investing, and their extensive backgrounds and relationships help them identify properties that minimize investment risk and maximize cash on cash returns
MHPF is well aware of the advantages of purchasing mobile home parks and has developed a set of stringent acquisition criteria that addresses both strong cash flow from day one and adding value to each MHP through various means such as increasing rental rates and occupancy, reducing expenses, and improving the quality of the community. The overall objective for each property is to provide an excellent return on investment for investors, while at the same time providing every resident with a safe and affordable place to live.
Investors are always seeking new opportunities which offer reduced risk, yet significantly higher returns than can be achieved in traditional saving accounts or CDs. MHPs present such an opportunity; now more than ever, as we believe that we are currently in the midst of a great buying opportunity in the MHP industry.
