American IRA Discusses Investing in Mobile Home Parks with a Self-Directed IRA
With a Self-Directed IRA, investors can have access to incorporating real estate in a retirement portfolio. Recently, American IRA analyzed investing in one particular asset type: mobile home parks.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the freedom afforded to investors with a Self-Directed IRA, a number of different assets can be included in a retirement portfolio. But one investment type that not many retirement investors consider, according to a recent post at American IRA: a mobile home park.
"You may never have thought about investing in mobile home parks," writes the post, published at American IRA's site at http://www.AmericanIRA.com. But it points out that the Self-Directed IRA can be a powerful tool for diversifying a portfolio into alternative assets such as real estate. An investment in a mobile home park would mean separating some retirement money out of the traditional investments of funds and in the stock market, which adds another layer of security with the right investment.
According to the article, the advances of a mobile home park investment include low cost to purchase, high demand for mobile homes, and the high potential for profits. The article also notes that these parks have a high cap rate, at roughly 7-12%.
"The goal with this piece was to introduce people to the idea of a different asset," said Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA. "Not only are mobile home parks an interesting opportunity for any investor, but for someone using a Self-Directed IRA, the possibility of using a retirement account for this type of investment can be intriguing for a number of reasons, including tax benefits."
The post went on to list additional reasons that mobile home parks can be valuable income-generators, including loyal tenants and low overall turnover in multi-family properties. And with low maintenance costs, such an investment would not be a drain on the pocketbook.
"People hear the term 'mobile home park' and they have too many assumptions already," said Jim Hitt. "But if you are open-minded to a wide variety of assets and asset classes, as those with a Self-Directed IRA generally are, then it opens up a whole new world of investment possibilities."
