Case Study – 52TEN’s Palm Harbor Estates
Phoenix Metro, AZ | Mobile Home Park

Overview
Palm Harbor Estates was a relationship-driven, off-market acquisition. For five years, 52TEN stayed in touch with the owner, meeting regularly for coffee, breakfast, and lunch before he was ready to discuss a deal.

The opportunity was clear. The park had good bones and a strong location, but poor roads, vacant lots, rundown homes, and more renters than homeowners. It needed a complete operational and physical overhaul.

Ex*****on
52TEN’s strategy centered on renovating vacant homes, infilling empty sites, and steadily shifting the community toward tenant-owned homes (TOHs).

We also made major improvements to the roads, entrance, gates, signage, and landscaping while overhauling our home sales strategy. RVs temporarily generated income from sites awaiting permanent homes.

Ex*****on required multiple pivots. City approvals took longer and cost more than anticipated, COVID disrupted home inventory, and electrical infrastructure created additional challenges for new home installations.

Results
Tenant-owned homes increased from 29 to 93, with additional residents currently progressing through our rent-credit program. Lot rents increased from approximately $520 to $845, reaching in five years what we originally expected would take ten.

Operations also strengthened, including 0% delinquency in each of the last two months. Meaningful upside remains through continued infill, home sales, TOH conversions, and rent optimization.

Summary
Palm Harbor Estates demonstrates why 52TEN looks beyond what a property is today and focuses on what the underlying real estate can become.

We did not buy a finished community. We bought good bones, a strong market position, and problems we believed we could solve.

Palm Harbor Estates still has work ahead, but that is part of the story. Value-add investing is rarely one big move. It is hundreds of operational decisions executed consistently over time.

We passed on a good deal in the Texas Hill Country. The property was nearly full and efficiently operated, but financial upside was limited and flooding risk was too high.

When returns depend on limited upside and risks we can’t control with confidence, we walk. Discipline matters more than deal volume.
