Manufactured housing capital · Nationwide
Mobile home park financing. Focused on durable cash flow and site infrastructure.
Manufactured housing communities can offer recurring site-rent income, but financing depends on utility systems, lot occupancy, ownership structure and community operations. MDN Capital Consulting evaluates potential loan structures for eligible mobile home parks nationwide.
Financing overview
Distinguish land rents from home ownership income.
A park with tenant-owned homes may have a different expense profile from a community with many park-owned rental homes. Lenders review the number of licensed pads, paying occupied sites, lot-rent history, utility arrangements, collections and deferred maintenance.
Private or bridge capital may support acquisitions, park improvements or transitional operations. Work involving infrastructure or new sites requires clear cost estimates, approvals and a feasible stabilization timeline.
For broader parameters, review MDN Capital's commercial loan criteria, or submit a financing request for a transaction-specific review.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common financing questions.
General information only. Terms depend on lender approval and individual circumstances; legal and tax matters require qualified advisers.
Can I finance a park with park-owned homes?
Possibly. Lenders will assess the number and condition of park-owned homes and the resulting maintenance and vacancy risk.
Do private utilities affect financing?
They can. Water, sewer and septic systems may require additional diligence, reserves and environmental review.
Can improvements be financed as part of the purchase?
Potentially, with an approved budget, adequate equity, permits and a lender willing to fund transitional capital needs.
How do lenders evaluate vacant pads?
Vacant approved pads can represent upside, but lenders generally focus on current cash flow and realistic absorption.
What should I send MDN first?
Provide location, pad count, occupancy, home-ownership mix, utility details, operating statements, rent roll and acquisition or payoff information.
