Is 3300 Blue Hill Road a Smart Investment? An Advisor's View, Rogers

3300 Blue Hill Road, Rogers, AR, mobile home park for sale

TL;DR: 3300 Blue Hill Road in Rogers, Arkansas, is a $900,000 mobile home park that an investment advisor would test on income, tenancy and open levers before any offer. It has 13 pads plus a church-leased metal building, and no return is promised. Cameron Torabi, Principal Broker, Mason Capital Group Real Estate Investment & Trust, advises investors on that analysis at 479-925-3333.

How does an investment advisor evaluate a mobile home park?

An advisor starts with who owns what, because that decides which risks the buyer takes on.

Here, the listing says tenants own their homes while the operator owns the land and collects lot rent. The listing's view is that this structure removes the maintenance, turnover and capital-expenditure exposure of park-owned units. An advisor would still ask for the leases and the rent roll to confirm it.

Next comes tenancy. The listing reports that the majority of residents have lived at the park 8 to 15 years. Long tenure is a stability signal, and an advisor would verify it against the rent roll instead of relying on a summary.

What is the investment case for 3300 Blue Hill Road?

The case rests on stated income, stated levers and a land base, and each one has to be confirmed before an offer.

  • Current income. The listing reports approximately $100,800 in annual gross income: 11 leased pads at $600 per month, approximately $79,200 a year, plus a church lease on the metal building at $1,800 per month, $21,600 a year.
  • Vacant pads. Leasing the two open pads would take gross to approximately $115,200 at the current rate, a 14% lift the listing says needs no construction and no rehab.
  • Water. Units are individually metered, but the seller currently covers the water bills, an expense the listing says a new owner could pass through.
  • Expenses. Annual property taxes are $1,185, per the listing.
  • Land. The 6.52-acre site is cleared, on county road frontage, with a split possible, which the listing describes as land-value optionality beneath the income.

Those are the seller's figures. They describe what the listing says today, and no one should read them as a forecast of what a new owner will earn.

What are the limits of this investment?

The limits are the unconfirmed items, and an honest advisor lists them before the strengths.

  1. Income is stated as approximate, so the rent roll and bank deposits must confirm it.
  2. Two of thirteen pads are vacant, and a lease-up that takes time and effort is not guaranteed.
  3. Passing water costs to tenants depends on the leases and the rules that govern them, so a buyer should ask an attorney first.
  4. Zoning, any expansion and any split of the 6.52 acres must be confirmed with the governing planning office.
  5. The park's value rests on a small number of income sources, so a vacancy or a lease change in the church building matters.

Tax treatment, entity structure and financing are questions for your tax advisor and attorney, not for a listing summary.

What should an investor ask before buying this property?

An investor should ask for the documents behind every stated figure before making an offer.

  1. May I see the rent roll, the leases and the church lease in full?
  2. What did the park actually collect over the last twelve months, and how does it compare with the stated gross?
  3. What are all the expenses besides property taxes and water, and who pays each?
  4. What did the lot rent step from $500 to $600 do to tenant response?
  5. What does the planning office say about zoning and any split?
