Essential tips for navigating this market in Hot Springs.
Verify occupancy rates (85%+ is healthy), unit mix (climate vs drive-up), rental rate history, delinquency rates, and competitor proximity. Physical inspection of roofs, doors, and pavement is essential.
Focus on infrastructure: water/sewer (city vs well/septic), electrical capacity, road condition, and pad condition. Parks with city utilities are worth 20–30% more than those on well/septic systems.
Storage: 7–10% cap rate. MHPs: 8–15% cap rate. Higher cap rates indicate either value-add opportunity or higher risk. Verify the numbers independently — seller pro formas are always optimistic.
Self-managed saves 6–10% but requires time. Third-party management companies charge 6–10% of gross revenue. Many storage facilities operate with 1 part-time manager and automated gate/payment systems.
Commercial loans for storage and MHPs typically require 25–30% down with 5–25 year terms. SBA loans available for smaller facilities. Some sellers offer financing for qualified buyers.
For storage: add climate control, improve security, raise below-market rents. For MHPs: infrastructure upgrades, fill vacant lots, add amenities. Value-add deals offer the best returns.
