Hereβs the exact formula we recommend to buyers:
πΉ STEP 1 β Look at gross sales
Where does money come from?
πΉ STEP 2 β Look at expenses
Are they real? Are they inflated? Missing? Adjusted?
πΉ STEP 3 β Determine adjusted NOI
Include add-backs.
πΉ STEP 4 β Apply a cap rate
What is a fair value range?
πΉ STEP 5 β Determine bankability
Does the park support DSCR loans?
πΉ STEP 6 β Factor your down payment
Can you afford this park?
πΉ STEP 7 β Look at upside
Rate increases β cabins β seasonal revenue β glamping β events
πΉ STEP 8 β Look at risk
Utilities β zoning β staffing β remote location
β Then, and ONLY then, do you decide whether to pursue an offer.
