Good old Nevada. The people who make laws don't give a damn about you unless you're rich and give them money for elections.

From what was said in the video I'm guessing the people that live there would not be able to get the money together.

When I saw the video, I thought that the tenants owned their trailers. After doing some research in google street view that may not be the case. If so, there's really no reason to try and fight the eviction by buying the land from the new owner like the trailer home community in Utah did.

The 2 acre park was sold for 1.4 million on August 12, 2017 in a multi parcel sale. The park is near Nellis and Owens. Everything around the lot is business buildings.

Wasn't this happening back in the pre-'08 boom. Mobile home parks are low hanging fruit for developable land.

If you're going to rent the land you live on, you're better of renting the whole thing.

Increasing lot rent has driven many elderly from their homes because they can't afford the steep lot rents of $500-600-700-800, even though they own their homes! The worst investment one can make, living in a mobile home park with lot rent. Condo's/Townhouse with high HOA dues is right behind that.

I've seen mobile homes for sale as cheap as $1,000-$5,000, but what good is that if your lot rent is $700-800 a month?

In some southern CA coastal communities, the lot rent on some of these mobile home parks is as high as $2000 a month. But! You're close to the ocean!

I just bought a mobile home in a mobile home park where you own your land, with $40 a month HOA dues. In Tucson.

At first I thought these tenants were renting the land. Then I saw that sign that said "as low as $100 week" and it didn't make sense to me that people were renting mobile home sites for $400/month. I could be wrong though.

This can be done. They have one of these in Tucson, a co-op mobile home park, but to live there you have to first go before the Board of Directors for them to decide if they want you in their park or not.

Nice, I looked into buying in Tucson for retirement time spent in the states every year. My parents are retired there. My wife just could not get into it.
