We identify and capitalize on commercial opportunities with in-place cash flow, substantial upside, and recession-resistant qualities such as affordable rents and mitigated turnover, ensuring that each project aligns with our model for delivering immediate, stable, and competitive returns to our private investors and lenders.
ASSET CLASSES:
Mobile Home Parks
MHPs provide stable, recession-resistant, risk-mitigated cash flow driven by steady demand, affordable rents, and tenant-owned homes (reducing turnover, maintenance, and overhead for landlords). We acquire parks with inefficiencies and vacancies (often from the original owners), equating to significant value-add potential. Through operational improvements, increased occupancy, and enhanced cash flow, we boost property values by 50-100% in 2-3 years with minimal capital improvements. MHPs deliver some of the highest cap rates and returns across all real estate sectors, at the lowest cost-per-unit.
Storage Facilities
Storage facilities are one of the most lucrative and desirable assets for real estate investors. High demand, low turnover. People have more things than they do space, and most people can afford $100-200/month. For that reason, storage facilities see long tenancies and low turnover. Additionally, they are less management-intensive because operators can leverage systems and automation.
Commercial Buildings
Commercial buildings offer stable income and low turnover backed by business tenants who typically sign long-term leases. Additionally, these tenants are often responsible for operating expenses such as utilities, maintenance, and sometimes even property taxes, significantly lowering the landlord's overhead. The demand for commercial space remains robust, and with the right location and tenants, these buildings provide strong returns and appreciation, making them a solid investment for wealth-building.
RV Parks
RV Parks are strong investments considering the growing trend of RV travel and families living in their campers to combat housing prices or embrace a minimalist lifestyle. Like MHPs, RV parks come with less infrastructure and overhead than other asset classes and operators can increase occupancy and cashflow (and therefore value) without costly and lengthy renovations. Mavdon targets RV parks in year-round markets with a demand for longer-term stays (1 month plus).

MAVDON’S
STRATEGY / CRITERIA:
Market Selection: We buy in most states, prioritizing the Northwest, Midwest, and Southern regions, targeting tertiary markets with strong demand and growing county populations of at least 100,000 people.
Project Size: We specialize in acquisitions under $3M, targeting ma-and-pa or second-generation owners, which aligns with our strategy of securing low-interest seller financing and being able to 2x the property value within 2-3 years, maximizing returns for our investors.
Tenant-Owned Homes (TOHs): We generally limit park-owned homes to no more than five per acquisition, reducing maintenance and management complexities. Once acquired, we convert POHs to TOHs by selling them for cash or rent-to-own to current or future qualifying tenants.
Public Sewer and Water: We prioritize properties connected to municipal water and sewer to reduce maintenance costs and mitigate liability. This approach offers greater reliability compared to assets relying on wells or private systems, especially wastewater treatment plants or lagoons.
No Tornado or Flood Zones: We safeguard our portfolio from assets that are in high-risk areas for tornadoes and flooding. This approach ensures consistent tenant demand, secures favorable financing from lenders, and enhances the property's long-term value for future buyers.
Seller Financing Preferred (2-5 years): This approach allows us to scale swiftly and efficiently without being slowed down by the bureaucracies of conventional banking. Furthermore, we create a more lucrative product by negotiating terms that are superior to what the banks provide, including lower down payments, lower interest rates, and interest-only amortization.
60%+ Occupied: We focus on properties above 60% occupied to minimize the complexities and uncertainties of major infill, especially on MHPs, and reduce the unnecessary risks of significant development costs. Instead, we increase occupancy by 10-20% through renovating and filling vacant units and enhanced marketing.
7%+ CAP Rate: Since our private lenders/investors receive their payments in the first month of each project, we must acquire assets with strong, in-place cash flow. This approach guarantees immediate returns while preserving ample upside potential for future growth.
20%+ Cash-on-Cash Return: This enables us to borrow the down payment and improvement funds from our capital partners at a competitive 15% interest rate while maintaining a total project rate of less than 8% thanks to low-interest seller financing. Mavdon earns an acquisition fee of 10% of the purchase price at closing, along with a 10% monthly management fee based on revenue. However, the majority of our profits come from successfully adding value and executing a profitable exit.
2x Value-Add Model: We target privately owned and underutilized assets, enhancing operations, occupancy, and cash flow with the intent of doubling the value by the time we refinance or sell within 2-3 years, ensuring we payoff all initial debt and leave room for substantial exit profits.
