With an impressive transaction volume exceeding $120,000,000 and being a park owner himself, Rand possesses a profound understanding of the intricacies, challenges, and opportunities within the park space. He currently holds licenses in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Nevada.

Having garnered accolades as a “Rising Star” and earned “SRA and NAA” awards during his successful tenure at CPX and Marcus & Millichap, Rand now brings his wealth of expertise and unwavering dedication to Kidder Mathews.

Mobile Home & RV Park Insights

February 2025

As we settle into 2025, I hope your year is off to a strong start. The market continues to evolve, and I’m committed to helping park owners navigate these changes with confidence.

Recent Success Story: Golden Hills MHP

This month, I’m excited to share the story of Golden Hills Mobile Home Park in Pullman, Washington. When Lee and Judy Daugherty reached out about transitioning their meticulously maintained 125-site community, they weren’t just looking for the highest offer—they wanted the right fit. Through careful marketing and vetting, we found a buyer who shared their values and vision for the community’s future. The deal included seller financing, which not only maximized value but also provided the Daugherty’s with reliable monthly income while they enjoy their Idaho retirement. Read their full story in our featured case study.

Seller Financing: A Win-Win Strategy

With traditional financing becoming increasingly complex and out of reach, seller carry is emerging as an attractive option for thoughtful transitions. Beyond just the numbers, it offers:

  • Higher purchase prices through creative deal structuring
  • Tax advantages through payment distribution
  • Ongoing monthly income backed by familiar assets
  • Greater flexibility in deal terms
  • Stronger buyer/seller alignment through shared interests

Contact me for your free copy of “The Park Owner’s Guide to Seller Financing” to learn more about this powerful option.

Industry Insights

CALIFORNIA FINALLY GIVES OWNERS A WIN

After years of restrictive legislation, Sacramento passed a bill allowing parks to expand by 10% of existing sites. This is a meaningful step toward addressing California’s housing crisis while giving owners some much-needed flexibility.

RENT CONTROL WATCH: OR/WA

Oregon’s modified rent control continues to evolve. Washington owners – stay alert and engaged. We’re tracking multiple bills that could impact your operations. I’m happy to share what I’m seeing – just give me a call.

RV PARK REALITY CHECK

Let’s be honest about occupancy – if you’re comparing to 2020-2022, you’ll get discouraged. I’m telling my owners to benchmark against 2019. Above those numbers? You’re doing great. Below? Let’s talk strategy.

DEVELOPMENT SLOWDOWN

Just back from the Outdoor Hospitality Convention. Big theme: Everyone’s hitting pause on new developments. Between construction costs and occupancy trends, the math isn’t working right now. I’ve got multiple clients sitting on development sites – they’re smart to wait.

QUICK TIP
