Summary
For many Californians, mobile home parks are one of the last real affordable paths to homeownership. Residents typically own their homes, but rent the land beneath them. In recent years corporate investors have sought to buy this land and in some cases seek to maximize profit. But this arrangement can leave homeowners vulnerable. The California Report’s Madi Bolaños has spent the last two years looking into one of these companies, Harmony Communities.
