3 Reasons RV Parks Are My Favorite Investment

Have you ever wondered why some investors seem to effortlessly grow their wealth while others struggle to find their footing? The secret often lies in choosing the right asset class—one that provides cash flow, low expenses, and long-term potential. For me, that asset class is RV parks. If you're curious to learn more, in this article, break down the top three reasons why I love investing in RV parks.

The Power of Multiple Income Streams

One of the biggest advantages of owning RV parks is their diverse income streams. It's not just about renting out RV spaces; the opportunities go far beyond that.

Take, for example, a park we recently acquired. It came with an unused building, which we’ve turned into a rentable space for meetings, parties, and reunions. By simply reaching out to local groups, we discovered a demand for such spaces. Now, this once-forgotten building generates additional revenue, and that’s just one of the many income streams available.

Beyond event spaces, RV parks also offer flexibility with tenant stays. Whether it’s daily, weekly, or monthly rentals, the variety ensures consistent cash flow.

Unlocking Opportunity with Seller Financing

Unlike other real estate investments, RV parks often come with the option of seller financing. Many RV parks are owned by older, Mom-and-Pop operators who are more willing to negotiate favorable terms.

For instance, we secured one park with just 5% down—much less than the typical 20–30% required for traditional financing. On top of that, we negotiated a lower interest rate than what you’d find with a bank. This arrangement is a win-win: the seller receives steady monthly income, and we acquire a valuable asset with less upfront capital.

Seller financing is especially powerful because it allows you to scale your portfolio faster while keeping initial costs low.

Lower Operational Costs = Higher Returns

Another reason RV parks stand out is their affordability to operate. Compared to apartment complexes or other types of real estate, the costs are remarkably low.

With RV parks, you’re not responsible for high insurance premiums or maintaining tenant-owned structures. Instead, your primary tasks might include mowing the grass and minor road repairs. Even in the event of extreme weather, tenants can simply pack up their RVs and leave, minimizing potential liabilities.

For example, insuring a 100-unit apartment building can be a costly endeavor, especially in areas prone to flooding or hurricanes. By contrast, insuring an RV park is much more affordable since there are fewer physical structures to protect.

Why RV Parks Are a Game-Changer

To recap, here are the three key reasons I love RV park investing:

    
• Multiple income streams: Event rentals, varied tenant stays, and more.
    
• Seller financing: Negotiate favorable terms directly with owners.
    
• Low operational costs: Save on insurance, taxes, and maintenance.
