How the Affordability Crisis Is Driving Investment

In its first California investment, RHP Properties buys the 421-site manufactured home community in El Monte because of L.A’s affordable housing crisis.

RHP Properties has made its first investment in the California market with the purchase of Brookside Country Club, a 421-site manufactured home community in the El Monte neighborhood of Los Angeles. The firm noted the affordable housing crisis in Los Angeles as a motivating factor for the purchase. It plans to perform a value-add strategy to drive occupancy, and says that the community will offer an affordable residential alternative.

“We surveyed the multifamily rental market as well as the single-family residential market and found that manufactured housing was a good option for residents,” Ross H. Partrich, CEO at RHP Properties,” tells GlobeSt.com. “This property was well positioned in the market as it relates to the high cost of multi-family and single-family residential rents. This was an excellent opportunity to break into the California market.  We saw vacant home sites that we can fill with brand new affordable homes for residents. It’s a good upside for us and a great value for residents.”
