Eligible properties include Three-, Four-, and Five-Star mobile home parks with a low percentage of RV sites or model homes. Senior and family parks are acceptable. The majority of units are preferred to be double-wide with an underground utility system. The typical density should be 5 -- 7 units per acre with an average lot size of 5,000 square feet. Professional management services are required.
2 -- Determine eligible property locations:
Nationwide -- properties are required to have good site access and a highly visible location with heavy traffic is preferred.
3 -- Identify Terms of the Loan:
| | - Loan Size - $1 Million -- $30 Million are standard; larger portfolio transactions are also considered.
- Debt Service Coverage -- 1.18 x minimum
- Loan-to-Value Ratio -- Up to 75% on conventional life company programs, 80% LTV on Fannie Mae DUS programs, and up to 90% Loan to Total Acquisition Cost available under FHA insured programs.
