Signature Project:
Lakeview Village Opp, Alabama
Throughout history as incomes have declined the demand
for lower cost housing has risen. While it is difficult to
pinpoint, some say the first appearance of the mobile home
dates back to the travelling European gypsies of the 1500’s.
In the states our first glimpse was on the outer banks of
North Carolina in the 1870’s. When the tide rolled in teams
of horses were used to relocate the home. Next would
come the automobile pulled trailers of the 1920’s, originally
made for camping. The Great Depression caused a major
population shifts as hundreds of thousands of people moved
to other regions to escape poverty and to start new, fuelling
the need for a family to be mobile. World War II saw veterans returning home to find a lack of affordable housing &
jobs difficult to find, fuelling the demand for an alternative.
Today, there are over 38,000 mobile home parks ranging in size from 5 to over 1000
home sites (with all the amenities) in the U.S. alone. These parks create an abundance
of opportunities for Investors to capitalize in any economic climate. Ironically, the City
of Opp, Alabama (also known as the City of Opportunity) is home to another of our
recent acquisitions, Lakeview Village. Featuring over 45 acres, 112 pads & situated
within an hour drive of the sugar white beaches of Florida’s Gulf, Lake View is symbolic
of the many reasons why we acquire such assets.
