Established in 2001 at the request of mobilehome owners, Resident Owned Parks, Inc. (ROP)
has the experience and expertise to guide mobilehome owners through the complexities of a
mobilehome park acquisition. Most mobilehome owners face increasing space rents which
outpace increases in their pensions and Social Security. Many mobilehome owners dream of
gaining ownership of their parks, but beyond the dream lies a formidable challenge. How should
the park owner be approached? How do you negotiate the purchase of the park? What financing
is available for a park purchase? Who determines the condition of the common area
infrastructure, such as the gas, electrical, septic, sewer, drainage and water systems? What
form of park purchase would best serve the interests of park residents? Who will manage and
maintain the park?

The team of professionals at ROP have the legal, financial, real estate, consulting, and
property management experience and expertise to make the dream of park ownership a reality.
The leaders of ROP have a proven 30-year track record of representing the interests of
mobilehome owners. By meeting with residents of a park and conferring as to their desires and
financial abilities, ROP can determine the form of park purchase which would best serve the
interests of homeowners. Whether a limited equity cooperative (LEC), or a nonprofit purchase by
ROP for the benefit of mobilehome owners, we have the right solution for your needs.
