The property

A mobile home park with internal roadways, concrete unit pads, pole-mounted lighting, landscaping, mailboxes, manufactured-home components, and water, sewer, and electrical utilities serving the individual sites.

The study

Our team performed a physical inspection and engineering analysis focused on the park’s site infrastructure. Qualifying shorter-life assets included manufactured-home components, skirting, window units, entry steps, site lighting, mailboxes, paving, concrete pads, landscaping, and the water, sewer, and electrical distribution systems.

The result

The study classified the entire approximately $700,000 depreciable basis as 5- or 15-year property. With 100% bonus depreciation available, the owner was able to accelerate essentially all of the studied basis into the first year.
