RE: Colorado / Investment Property Group / Resident Owned Communities
Fri, Aug 1, 2025 – The current owners of Mountain Valley Mobile Home Park and Aspen-Basalt Mobile Home Park on Monday, July 28, 2025, accepted an offer from the residents of those parks to purchase the communities for $42 million.
The two communities have been working towards converting their respective mobile home parks into ‘Resident-Owned Communities,’ or ROCs. An ROC functions similarly to a mortgage on a standard house; however, instead of one person paying their mortgage monthly, the entire community pays it down as rent.
The communities have been working with Thistle, a Boulder-based non-profit that manages various affordable housing schemes in Boulder, and the West Mountain Regional Housing Coalition, a Roaring Fork-based non-profit also focused on affordable housing. Thistle’s ROC wing is assisting in the Roaring Fork Valley mobile homes park purchase. Thistle is working with ROC USA to provide the additional $22 million loan needed to meet the $42 million asking price.
Wed, Jul 9, 2025 – Mobile home parks provide a more affordable place to live, especially in mountain resort communities like the Roaring Fork Valley, but the number of these registered parks in Colorado declined from about 900 in 2019 to 761 in 2024, according to state data published last year and a survey conducted by 12 news organizations.
As a growing number of investors buy up mobile home parks, residents can face displacement due to redevelopment and rising rents. In response, state and local governments have passed legislation and policies in recent years aimed at protecting residents from being evicted or priced out, and some advocates want lawmakers and local stakeholders to do more to preserve one of the largest sources of affordable housing in Colorado.
Humberto Murillo grew up in the Mountain Valley Mobile Home Park off Highway 133 near the entrance to Carbondale and is now raising his own family there. Like many mobile home residents, Murillo owns his house and pays a ‘lot rent’ to the park’s owner to lease the land underneath it.
For the past several decades, Mountain Valley was co-owned by a group of friends who invested in ownership of the park together, including a Carbondale resident named John Cooley.
In 2018, the ownership group sold the park to a buyer in Texas who sold it two years later to the current owner, Utah-based company Investment Property Group (IPG), for $9.5 million, according to Garfield County property transaction records. The real estate investment and management company has properties across 13 states, including more than 110 mobile home parks, according to the Mobile Home Park Home Owners Allegiance’s online database.
In 2019 and 2020, IPG also purchased Apple Tree Park across the Colorado River from New Castle for $22.7 million and the Aspen-Basalt Mobile Home Park along Highway 82 near Willits for $11.2 million, according to Eagle and Garfield county property records. The company did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Mountain Valley and Aspen-Basalt residents received notice from IPG that their parks were going up for sale this spring for a combined $42 million, and residents like Murillo and Miguel Carballo are worried that another investor group could raise the rents or redevelop the land. Though the parks were initially listed for sale together, the seller has since split the property sales, but residents are working together to put in offers on both.
RE: California / Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) / GSMOL
Thu, Jan 30, 2025 – The MHPHOA HTML and the GSMOL PDF versions of the 2025 California Mobilehome Residency Law have been updated to reflect all changes for the 2025 year.
Division 2, Part 2, Chap. 2.5 of the Civil Code. The Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) is the “landlord-tenant law” for mobilehome parks, which, like landlord-tenant law and other Civil Code provisions, are enforced in a court of law. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) does not have authority to enforce violations of the MRL.
