If you’ve ever wondered why mobile home real estate outperforms traditional rentals, this conversation will change how you think about affordable housing. In today’s episode, Jack Martin, co-founder and CIO of 52TEN, breaks down the true economics behind mobile home parks, why tenant-owned homes create unmatched stability, and how institutional capital is reshaping this niche asset class.

Jack manages 1,800+ lots across five states, and his perspective is simple: mobile home parks aren’t “trailer parks”—they’re one of the most misunderstood, recession-resistant income streams in real estate.

In this deep dive, he reveals the acquisition criteria, due diligence traps, market selection process, and value-add strategies that professional operators use to drive long-term, predictable cash flow.

Whether you’re a passive investor, operator, or exploring alternative real estate niches, this episode gives you the clarity and framework to evaluate mobile home park investments with confidence.
