What Sets Prosperity Park Partners Apart
Specialized Expertise
We focus exclusively on RV Resort Parks, not scattered across multiple asset classes. This specialization allows us to develop deeper market knowledge, recognize value that others miss, and execute operational improvements with confidence.
Education-First Philosophy
We believe educated investors make better partners. Rather than rushing to close deals, we invest time in helping potential partners understand the asset class, our process, and realistic expectations. Transparency builds trust.
Conservative Underwriting
Our projections are based on realistic assumptions, not best-case scenarios. We stress-test deals against adverse conditions and only pursue properties where the numbers work even if we achieve just 70% of our value-add goals.
Skin in the Game
We invest our own capital alongside our partners in every deal. Our interests are completely aligned—we succeed only when you succeed.
Real-World Experience
We've experienced the challenges of real estate investing firsthand—tenant problems, unexpected repairs, market downturns, difficult partnerships. Those lessons inform our risk management and property selection today.
The RV Resort Opportunity
The RV resort industry represents one of today’s most compelling commercial real estate opportunities
- 11 million RV owners in America (growing 4-6% annually)
- $114 billion RV industry with strong demographic tailwinds
- Multi-generational appeal (Boomers, Gen X, Millennials all embracing RV lifestyle)
- Remote work driving extended stays and "workamping" (work and camping) trend
- Limited new development due to land costs and regulatory hurdles
- Many existing parks owned by aging operators approaching retirement
- High barriers to entry create lasting competitive advantages
- Quality properties in desirable locations are increasingly scarce
- RV travel often increases during economic downturns (affordable vacation alternative)
- Long-term residents provide stable base income regardless of economic conditions
- Essential services and amenities generate recurring revenue
- Historically stable occupancy rates even in recessions
- Nightly and monthly site rentals
- Annual and seasonal contracts
- Amenity fees (WiFi, cable, premium services)
- Retail (camp store, propane, firewood, convenience items)
- Activities and experiences (rentals, events, guided activities)
- Value-add opportunities often overlooked by current owners
- Cash-on-cash returns typically ~12-18% annually
- IRR targets of ~18-21% including appreciation
- Value-add strategies can significantly increase property values
