Market Overview

Manufactured housing in Texas

Texas leads the nation in manufactured housing units shipped, with over 557,000 since 1994, and hosts more than 20 manufactured home production plants, more than any other state. The state's massive geographic footprint, strong population growth, no state income tax, and diversified economy across energy, technology, healthcare, and logistics create persistent demand for affordable housing that manufactured home communities serve.

The strongest MHP investment markets in Texas include the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley. DFW and Houston alone account for a significant share of statewide transaction volume. Cap rates in major metros have compressed to 6.5-7.5%, while secondary and tertiary markets (Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland-Odessa, Waco) still offer 8%+ cap rates with meaningful value-add upside.

Texas is broadly considered one of the most landlord-friendly states in the country. There is no rent control, no state income tax, and the eviction process is among the fastest in the nation. These factors combined with strong population growth make Texas one of the top MHP investment markets nationally.

Why Texas

Why finance an MHP in Texas

What makes Texas a compelling market for manufactured housing community investment.

Largest MH market in the nation

Texas has received more manufactured housing shipments than any other state, over 557,000 units. The sheer scale of the market means more acquisition opportunities, more deal flow, and more exit options when you're ready to refinance or sell.

No state income tax

Texas's zero state income tax improves cash-on-cash returns for park owners compared to states with income tax. This tax advantage is a meaningful factor in underwriting and makes Texas parks attractive to investors nationwide.

Fastest-growing metros in the US

Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio consistently rank among the top US metros for population growth. This growth drives housing demand, supports occupancy, and creates a strong tailwind for lot rent increases in well-located parks.

Use Cases

What we finance

From straightforward park acquisitions to complex value-add repositioning with infill programs and infrastructure overhauls.

01

Park Acquisitions

Acquire manufactured housing communities that conventional lenders will not finance due to below-market operations, deferred maintenance, or park-owned home portfolios. We underwrite to the business plan, not just trailing income.

02

Value-Add Repositioning

Finance the acquisition and improvement of underperforming parks. Bridge capital covers the purchase while improvement holdbacks fund infrastructure upgrades, lot rent adjustments, and operational improvements.

03

Infrastructure Upgrades

Fund water and sewer system repairs, electrical upgrades, road improvements, and common area renovations. Draws released as work is completed and verified.

04

Lot Infill Programs

Finance the placement of new or used manufactured homes on vacant lots to increase occupancy and revenue. A vacant lot generating $0/month can produce $400-$600/month in lot rent once filled.

05

POH to TOH Conversion

Acquire parks with park-owned homes, then convert to tenant-owned over time. Bridge financing covers the initial acquisition including POH rental income in the underwrite, giving you runway to execute the conversion strategy.

06

Portfolio Consolidation

Combine multiple MHP acquisitions into a single bridge facility. One closing, one set of docs, streamlined execution for operators building a manufactured housing portfolio.

Regulations

Texas MHP regulations

Key regulatory considerations for mobile home park owners and investors in Texas.

Texas Property Code Chapter 94

Texas's Manufactured Home Community Act (Chapter 94) governs park operations. It is broadly landlord-friendly with no rent control provisions. Lot rent increases require 60 days written notice.

Eviction process

Texas has one of the fastest eviction processes in the nation. For non-payment, a 3-day notice to vacate is required, followed by a forcible detainer suit. Cases are typically resolved within 3-4 weeks.

No state income tax

Texas does not levy a state income tax on individuals or pass-through entities. Property taxes are higher than national average but are offset by the income tax savings for most park operators.
