What you actually keep: cash offer vs. broker listing vs. seller financing

Most Arizona park owners compare headline prices. Headline price is not what lands in your account. Commission, closing costs, months of carry while the park sits on market, and the very common due-diligence retrade all come out first. Put your numbers in and see all three paths side by side.

Brokered park deals commonly reprice during due diligence once a buyer sees the well records, septic capacity, pedestal amperage and true expenses. Your residents also tend to find out the park is for sale.

Down payment of $625,000, then payments amortized over 30 years with a balloon of about $1,608,982 at year 10. Biggest total dollars and it can spread capital gains as an installment sale — but you carry buyer risk and most of the money arrives later.

Estimates only, for comparison. Actual proceeds depend on your basis, depreciation recapture, 1031 or installment-sale treatment, prepayment penalties, prorations and title costs. Confirm the tax picture with your CPA. Nothing here is an offer.

"Don't have clean books? Don't let that stop you. Start with what you know."
