Where we are active in Texas
Texas is our most active state. We have transacted and marketed parks from the Gulf Coast to the Panhandle, and we know the buyer pool for Texas parks personally rather than theoretically.
- Dallas–Fort Worth and North Texas — including the Sherman and Denton corridors, where we field steady buyer demand for parks within an hour or two of the metroplex
- East Texas — Tyler, Longview and the smaller markets between, where lot rents still sit well under metro levels
- Central Texas and the I-35 corridor — Austin, Waco, Temple and the surrounding counties
- The Gulf Coast — Corpus Christi, the Coastal Bend and the bay communities, including RV resorts serving seasonal and workforce demand
- West Texas and the Panhandle — Midland–Odessa, Amarillo, Lubbock and the workforce housing markets tied to energy
What we look for in a Texas park
We buy mobile home communities, RV parks, RV resorts and combination properties, generally in the 5 to 200+ pad range. We will look at stabilized parks, value-add parks, and parks that are genuinely struggling.
What we care about most in Texas specifically:
- Utility infrastructure. City water and sewer is the cleanest case. Private water systems, lagoons and aging septic are workable, but they change the number, and we would rather tell you that honestly up front than discover it in diligence and retrade you.
- Tenant-owned versus park-owned homes. Park-owned homes are not a dealbreaker, but they are a rental business rather than a land-lease business, and they get underwritten differently.
- The gap between your lot rent and the market. A park charging $250 in a submarket where comparable parks get $400 is not a problem property. That gap is the reason to buy it.
What Texas owners should know before they sell
Property taxes drive Texas valuations more than most owners expect
Texas has no state income tax, and it funds itself substantially through property tax. For park owners that has a specific consequence at sale: a sale resets the appraised value, and the buyer’s tax bill is frequently far higher than the one you have been paying on a long-held basis. Any buyer who underwrites off your historical tax line is going to discover this later — and that discovery is where retrades come from.
We underwrite the reassessed number from the start. It usually means our first number is more conservative than a buyer who has not thought about it. It also means it is the number we actually close at.
Commingled expenses are common and they cost you money
Many Texas parks are owned alongside a ranch, a farm, a construction business or other property, and the expenses run through one set of books. We have seen owner P&Ls where a third of the expense load did not belong to the park at all.
If that is your situation, it is worth untangling before you sell, because every dollar of someone else’s expense sitting in your park’s P&L reduces your net operating income — and at a 7% cap rate, a $10,000 expense that is not really yours costs you roughly $140,000 of sale price. We will help you separate it.
Seller financing is worth a conversation in this market
A meaningful share of Texas park transactions we see are structured with the seller carrying part of the paper. For an owner with a low basis, it can spread the tax hit, produce a stronger total return than a cash sale, and widen the pool of buyers who can actually perform. We are comfortable on either side of that conversation.
How selling to us works
- Tell us about the park. Lots, occupancy, rents, utilities, and roughly what it costs to run. A few minutes.
- We underwrite it. We rebuild your numbers the way a serious buyer does, and we come back with questions if something does not add up.
- You get a real offer. Within a few business days, with the reasoning behind it. No fee, no obligation, and no listing agreement.
- Close on your timeline. Fast if you need fast, or months out if you have a tax year or a family situation to work around.
Common questions from Texas park owners
Do I need a broker to sell my park in Texas?
No. You can sell directly to a buyer. A broker earns their commission when a property needs real marketing exposure to find its price. If you already have a buyer who knows the asset class and can perform, that commission is coming out of your proceeds for work that is not being done.
What is my Texas park worth?
Value comes from net operating income divided by a market cap rate, adjusted for capital needs. In practice the swing factors are lot rent versus market, occupancy, who pays utilities, the condition of the infrastructure, and how much of the income is homes rather than land. Two parks with identical pad counts can be worth very different numbers. Send us yours and we will show you the math.
My park has vacancy and deferred maintenance. Are you still interested?
Yes, and those are often the ones we want most. A full, well-run park at market rent is priced for what it already is. A park with empty pads, rough roads or below-market rent is priced for what it is today and worth more to someone willing to do the work.
How fast can you close?
On a clean cash purchase with clear title and no survey surprises, weeks rather than months. Realistically, timing is usually driven by title work, survey, and any utility or zoning question that needs resolving — not by us.
Find out what your Texas park is worth
Tell us about the property and we will underwrite it and come back with a no-obligation number. Plenty of owners do this simply to find out where they stand, with no intention of selling this year. That is a perfectly good reason to ask.
