BRRRR: Buying the Right Mobile Home Investment Property
.
Suncrest Capital has quickly emerged as a leader in mobile home and RV community investment. Since 2020, we’ve steadily grown our portfolio by diligently identifying opportunities, conducting rigorous due diligence, and partnering with investors to acquire high-potential properties. As we wrap up the first quarter of 2025, we proudly manage over 25 communities—each selected with a strategic approach to long-term value and stability.
Last month, we introduced the BRRRR Method—our blueprint for scaling investments:
This month, we dive deeper into the first and most critical step: buying properties.
At Suncrest Capital, our success stems from a commitment to strategic acquisitions and forward momentum. The best deals often come with challenges, but our ability to navigate obstacles is what fuels our growth. Here’s a look at how we identify, evaluate, and acquire mobile home and RV communities to build wealth for our investors.
Strategic investing starts with a clear mission:
We help investors build generational wealth while nurturing communities where residents and business owners are proud to live.
Every property we acquire represents more than an investment—it’s an opportunity to create stability:
Before purchasing property, we commit to rigorously assess whether it aligns with both investor profitability and community well-being.
Market Research
Identifying strong markets is the foundation of our investment strategy. Our early success stemmed from targeting Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas—areas where demand for affordable housing consistently outpaces supply.
For example, in Branson, MO (as of February 2025):
This gap ensures continued high demand for mobile home living.
Site Identification and Evaluation
We’ve built up extensive networks and industry connections to identify off-market opportunities and then evaluate each property with strict criteria to ensure it fits our goals for value appreciation.
When assessing properties, we consider:
✔️ Location & Population Growth
✔️ Proximity to Schools & Economic Centers
✔️ Infrastructure Quality & Occupancy Rates
✔️ Current Lot Rent vs. Market Lot Rent
✔️ Opportunities for Value-Added Improvements
We place particular emphasis on infill opportunities—adding more homes to underutilized communities—and infrastructure improvements that drive long-term value.
To validate demand, we even leverage social media surveys and local engagement to ensure communities align with regional housing needs.
Financial Analysis
We apply conservative, data-driven underwriting to ensure every investment meets strict financial criteria. Instead of assuming best-case scenarios, we account for:
Our disciplined approach allows us to mitigate risk while optimizing investor returns.
Physical Inspections
Like inspecting a home before purchase, we conduct thorough property assessments, following our proven checklist of over 60 items to identify necessary repairs before closing.
By proactively budgeting for infrastructure upgrades, water sub-metering, and community enhancements, we protect our investors from unexpected costs.
Regulatory Compliance
Navigating local zoning laws is critical. Our team ensures every property complies with state and municipal regulations while staying ahead of potential policy changes that could impact investments.
Syndication Model
Suncrest Capital utilizes a syndication structure, pooling investor capital to acquire larger, high-value properties.
Why This Works for Investors:
Our relationships with local banks familiar with mobile home community financing allow us to secure favorable loan terms, lower interest rates, and better loan-to-value ratios than individual investors could obtain alone.
Investor Relations
We prioritize transparency and communication, providing investors with:
✔️ Quarterly Reports & Performance Metrics
✔️ Ongoing Market Analysis
✔️ Detailed Cash Flow Projections
By maintaining open dialogue and investor education, we foster long-term partnerships that drive sustainable growth.
We put our strategy into action with the acquisition of a 219-unit portfolio in Missouri.

3. infrastructure Implementing water sub-metering for cost savings & conservation
4. Moderate rent increase of $20 to build toward market cost
Outcomes

Even in those economic downturns, mobile home community investments offer a low correlation with traditional real estate markets, helping investors hedge against volatility.
Investing in affordable housing isn’t just profitable; it improves communities by providing safe, stable living environments.
At Suncrest Capital, buying properties isn’t just about acquiring assets—it’s about strategic, risk-managed investments that generate long-term value.
✔️ We identify strong markets.

The best deals often come with challenges, but our ability to navigate obstacles is what fuels our growth. Here’s a look at how we identify, evaluate, and acquire mobile home and RV communities to build wealth for our investors.

3 Steps to Managing Risk in Buying Mobile Home Communities
1. Property Acquisition
Market Research
Identifying strong markets is the foundation of our investment strategy. Our early success stemmed from targeting Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas—areas where demand for affordable housing consistently outpaces supply.
For example, in Branson, MO (as of February 2025):
- The median home price is $300,000 for a 1,500 sq. ft. house.
- A comparable double-wide mobile home costs as low as $120,000—less than half the price.
This gap ensures continued high demand for mobile home living.
Site Identification and Evaluation
We’ve built up extensive networks and industry connections to identify off-market opportunities and then evaluate each property with strict criteria to ensure it fits our goals for value appreciation.
When assessing properties, we consider:
✔️ Location & Population Growth
✔️ Proximity to Schools & Economic Centers
✔️ Infrastructure Quality & Occupancy Rates
✔️ Current Lot Rent vs. Market Lot Rent
✔️ Opportunities for Value-Added Improvements
We place particular emphasis on infill opportunities—adding more homes to underutilized communities—and infrastructure improvements that drive long-term value.
To validate demand, we even leverage social media surveys and local engagement to ensure communities align with regional housing needs.
2. Due Diligence Process
Financial Analysis
We apply conservative, data-driven underwriting to ensure every investment meets strict financial criteria. Instead of assuming best-case scenarios, we account for:
- Vacancy rates & occupancy trends
- Repair & maintenance costs
- Regional market fluctuations
- Potential for rent appreciation
Our disciplined approach allows us to mitigate risk while optimizing investor returns.
