What’s inside

This isn’t a generic real estate checklist with the boxes filled in. It’s the actual document I use, organized into the seven areas where deals fall apart. 47 specific questions across:

• Income verification — what to ask for, what to never trust, how to cross-check the numbers
• Expense scrub — the line items sellers hide and how to catch them
• Infrastructure inspection — utilities, roads, drainage, what gets a video sewer scope
• Tenant audit — who’s actually paying, who’s a problem, the reality vs. the rent roll
• Zoning & legal — grandfathering, density restrictions, the zoning department call you have to make
• Park-owned home (POH) audit — titling, condition, the underwriting trap to avoid
• The walk-away test — the deal-killers I refuse to negotiate around

Who I am

I’m Kellen Driscoll. I bought my first 30-space mobile home park at 26, my second at 28, and retired at 29 with about $50,000/month in rent checks coming in. I’ve used some version of this checklist on every park I’ve evaluated — including the deals I walked away from. The version below is what I use today.

If you’ve ever wondered what to actually look at on an MHP deal — not the marketing brochure, the real questions — this is what to print out and bring to the property.
