RV park investing / acquisition
Acquire and operate RV parks and campgrounds, monetized via nightly site rentals and long-term pad leases.
The idea, in plain language
Acquire and operate RV parks, mobile home parks and campgrounds, monetized via nightly RV site rentals, long-term pad leases, and value-add levers like backfilling pads, storage units, seller-financed homes and remote management systems. Videos cite Chris's 'My RV and Mobile Home Park Investing Masterclass' (6 years, 31 investments, 18 value-doubling levers), the $3M RV park deal walkthrough to double investor value, the $8.6M Shreveport LA acquisition targeting a double in 3-5 years, the Polson Montana investor webinar, the KOA RV park accredited-investor deck with occupancy and seasonality data, the 2026 bonus depreciation drop and its tax-shield impact, a '40 Ways to Make $400,000 from Unwanted Land' rundown (RV pads, sheds, tiny homes, camping, tree farms, EV charging), an RV park Q&A on backfilling occupancy, a $1B/day brainstorm that includes RV parks alongside porch-pumpkin rentals and sport courts, an Outscraper/SMS outreach pipeline demoed live on RV parks (but positioned for storage units, restaurants, medspas and contractors), a land-wholesaling discussion using builder buy boxes, and a 'destination wedding business' Q&A that mentions advertising vacancies in a 68-pad RV park. Customers are RVers, snowbirds, long-term pad tenants and weekend campers; startup cost is hundreds of thousands to millions; the videos treat this as a capital-intensive real estate play, not a side hustle.
Where the sources agree
- RV park and mobile home park investing is positioned as a 'boring but real' cash-flow asset with 18 value-doubling levers (backfilling pads, storage, online listings, remote management).
- Off-market acquisition is the entry tactic - scrape Google Maps, cold call, text - shown live on RV parks but the same pipeline works for storage units, restaurants, medspas and contractors.
- Bonus depreciation drop in 2026 changes the math: webinars explicitly call it out as a reason to close before year-end.
- You can syndicate the deal to accredited investors, but you cannot run a $1-8M acquisition on a side-hustle budget.
Where they differ
- The Koerner Office dominates (11 of 13): the masterclass, the $3M deal walkthrough, the KOA/Polson/Shreveport webinars, the 40-ways-from-land solo, the under-deals scrape-and-text demo, the destination-wedding Q&A with the 68-pad park vacancy question, and the street-sweeping/pet-cremation Q&As that touch on RV park occupancy as a sidebar.
- My First Million carries only 2: the $1B/day brainstorm that lists RV parks among many hustles, and a separate side-hustles brainstorm.
- No Starter Story or Greg Isenberg videos at all - this is a Koerner-only idea with one MFM episode for breadth.
- Channel posture: Koerner covers both the operator playbook (masterclass, value levers, scrape-and-text) and the investor deck (webinars); MFM only mentions RV parks in passing.
- Syndication framing: the Koerner webinars target accredited investors only — the entry price is explicitly above the stated capital budget of most solo operators.
