Not All Real Estate Is Created Equal:
Most investors think they’re choosing between “good” and “bad” deals.
In reality, they’re choosing between very different risk profiles.
Apartments, single-family rentals, office, storage — they all work… until they don’t. Mobile home parks (MHPs) behave differently, and understanding why is what separates confident investors from hopeful ones.
At Cornell Communities, we compare asset classes obsessively before allocating capital. This breakdown exists to show you where MHPs truly fit, without hype.
Let’s start with the biggest misunderstanding:
Mobile home parks are not just “cheap apartments.”
They operate under a completely different tenant, cost, and supply dynamic.
Most residents own their homes and rent the land underneath.
What that changes:
→ It costs $5,000–$10,000 to move a home
→ Residents stay longer
