How to make $15,300 a month from your first RV park?

[@RICARDOABECH]

As always the numbers look very inflated. Here are a better numbers: - 47k down + $1750 on mortgage per month (considering 4.1% interest rate - good luck with that) + Business Insurance (around 1k a month) + permits + 3600 per month for the manager (I still believe you will need a full time employee. How do you avoid people just using the property without paying or any issues (like leaks etc?) do you trust the clients? Also 10k per year on maintenance (which can be much more in case of leaks or extra unplanned work on pavement, etc). So all in all the cost per year should be around should be around 85k per year minimum + the 47k down. - Considering you are charging 450 per month (not sure you can get all 35 rented all the sabe time always, so I would consider a 80% occupancy rate), so lease call it 28 units occupied. This will Gross around 150k, which will NET around 65k per year. Not bad, but take taxes, self employment taxes, etc, and you end up with around 50k per year. Not bad, but not even close to the numbers she is representing. It should pay for itself on 1 year and cash flow after. But as any business there are risks. You need to work to gte it busy, deal with unhappy clients, lawsuits, lawyers, accountants, etc...

[@doiturself4459]

Very realistic outcome.

[@ScottBalkum]

Agreed…. But there’s more.. Electricity - unless this park only does monthly sites (where electricity is paid by the rv owner) there is a cost for the electricity each RV is consuming and RVs are not the most energy efficient homes. Next, water, 35 campers using water, that’s a lot of water, even though you would consider them low usage. That’s several hundred dollars a month. Trash for 35 homes? That’s going to be a couple of dumpsters a month or several hundred dollars. I would expect unless this is a giant gravel pit in the middle of nowhere, these rv residents would like the lawn to be maintained, that’s going to cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars a month. That person who gets paid $1.73.hr (3600/yr) is not likely to mow the grass.. I bet these residents would be expecting internet via wifi. That’s not free. Sewer usage for 35 homes isn’t exactly free either. The list goes on and on. With larger rv parks, most owners net about 50-100K/yr in profit. I’m not sure how this magical rv park is able to be such a gold strike compared to the rest of the owners…

[@RICARDOABECH]

@@ScottBalkum exactly. And even at a 50k profit, one unplanned event can consume all of it (if any). From all her businesses I am sure the one that she makes all the money is KZbin and all the courses she probably sells. As always ....

The RV park industry in SOOOO much more complex than what is being described here! Also, are we talking about mobile home parks or an RV Park ? The RV park industry is a lot like running a hotel. If it's an RV park, is there a franchise fee? Anyway. This is a complex business. Just saying, and Yes Codie, good comment on the need for good management. Good management is the difference between an RV Park where derelicts cook meth and a place for nice people to live.

[@trcraftyoutube]

Right! And I Can’t imagine you can get a “good” manager for $3600 a year.

[@billbyrne1136]

Before you invest in an RV park, check on County, City regulations on length of stay allowed. L.A. County Ca. limits stay to 90 days in a 6 month period.

[@johnyang1420]

Stupid rules….I like liberty

[@megancheraehodges]

There’s a lot of things missing. What are the net operating expenses? Debt service? Taxes? There are a lot of expenses being left out here which can be very misleading. Rv parks are great cash flowing assets if you can get a good off market deal but there is definitely more to it then a down payment and closing costs and then boom your cash flowing.

[@maxtaylor5568]

Great video and definitely an impressive deal, but to be clear - its not really "cash-flowing" $15k a month if he took a loan on the acquisition that's the total revenue. Most re investors would consider cash flow to be after debt service and expenses. Still a great buy but I think its important to highlight the debt service to get the complete picture.

[@TheIndependentCollective]

Hey Max - do you invest in businesses?

[@TonyDrecaps]

Plus property taxes

[@BenjaminMaciel21000]

Yep.

[@James-mf9to]

Actual cash flow would kill the click bait title. So just exaggerate for views… trash channel.

[@CodieSanchezCT]

Great point we didn’t include debt service in this one and should have. To be fair the property is now doing more like 20-30k a month post a 4.5% debt service.

[@have2catchemfishing]

Some people are not making the distinction and think this is a campground. This is a mobile home park so there are no restrictions on length of stay. Leases are signed here too. The issue also is that there are NOT many that actually are profitable or they are in areas where they will not be profitable....ever.

[@BeeCheap-uc3tc]

Interesting points. Why not convert RV parks into mobile home parks?

[@cheebug]

Pretty sweet. If he put 40 k into BTC he’d have no maintenance, no mortgage and it will (if history is any indication) 10x in about 4-5 years. Then he could either buy the park outright or borrow against his BTC holdings and buy a property or more BTC, which is considered property, it’s just digital property that doesn’t degrade, need maintenance, can be moved for almost free, and can be sold in seconds. Liquid property.

Here in Southern UT. RV resorts are full in the winter with Snowbirds. And a little less full in the summer months because of extreme heat. 109 tomorrow. Same with resorts in northern states, mostly empty in winter because of brutally cold winters but busier in the spring, summer and fall mos.

[@ZTZ330011]

This sounds great but you're stating the income figures as if they're net but they're really gross. There's no mention of expenses like repairs, utilities, improvements, vacancy. I think his P&L would look very different than explained here. A property manager for $300 a month sounds doubtful, likely more like someone on site who handles odds & ends, but he's still managing things from afar (i.e. who does the bookings, interfaces with contractors/vendors/etc.). I'm researching rv parks & campgrounds, but management/operation time investment is making me skittish. Would be great to hear directly from him on these topics.

[@johngatsby1473]

NEVER and I repeat NEVER let the employees know where you live and don't drive high dollar cars to work and be that show off. I have to admit....I'm guilty of doing just that and the thing is.....the employees only see the results of your investment. I had 2 childcare centers and a bunch of rentals, bought the nice house, Hummer H2, z06, Cadillac XLR, Silverado truck, had the nice watches. The employees become resentful and that was even after I gave everyone 500.00 Christmas bonuses and on random days I would single out an employee and tell them to leave my building only to hand them a steakhouse dinner gift card that covered their whole familys meal for the evening. I even bought things for their kids if they were active in certain activities. In the end I was the rich guy that didn't do shit but make myself money......never got that one. Now I never let on that I am the owner of the business.
