RV Park Rollup
Acquiring RV parks at 10-11 cap rates, adding value through improvements and better management to achieve effective 15 cap rates, then packaging multiple parks together to sell to private equity at 5-6 cap rates. The strategy combines value-add real estate investing with the rollup model, creating vertically integrated operations with centralized management for a premium exit multiple.
