About RV Park Investor's Edge

Why We Started

Most RV park content online is written for campers — where to stay, what amenities to expect, how to book a site. That's fine for vacationers. It's useless for investors.

The RV Park Investor's Edge exists to fill the gap: serious investment analysis for people who treat RV parks as a real estate asset class. Cap rate benchmarks, deal underwriting frameworks, due diligence checklists, financing structures, market-level demand data — the information an investor actually needs, not a campground review.

RV parks are one of the most compelling niches in commercial real estate right now: strong demand tailwinds, fragmented ownership, value-add potential, and favorable financing through the SBA. But the information asymmetry is real. Most buyers are going in without the analytical framework that buyers in other asset classes take for granted. That's what we fix.

What We Cover

• Deal Underwriting — cap rate analysis, NOI calculation, proforma modeling, and valuation approaches for RV parks
• Cap Rates & NOI — what cap rates are trading at by market and park type, how to normalize NOI from seller financials, and where value is hiding
• Due Diligence — physical inspection priorities, utility infrastructure, permitting and zoning, environmental flags, and title issues specific to RV parks
• Financing — SBA 7(a) and 504 programs, DSCR requirements, seller financing structures, bridge debt, and what lenders actually want to see
• Markets — state-by-state demand drivers, occupancy trends, permitting climate, and where growth is concentrating
• Operations — utility pass-through, rate optimization, amenity ROI, management structures, and scaling from one park to many

The Newsletter

Every week we send one issue covering the full investor stack: a deal breakdown or market analysis, cap rate and NOI intelligence, a due diligence spotlight, financing update, and practical operational guidance. Written for people who are actively buying, operating, or seriously evaluating RV parks as an investment.

It's free. It always will be. We sustain this through keeping overhead low and occasionally recommending services and tools we believe in.
