Free Decision Tool
Six honest questions about your situation. A personalized recommendation that actually considers reasons to hold, not just reasons to sell.
Question 1 of 6
How long do you realistically plan to keep owning this park?
This question is about your personal horizon — not the market. Be honest with yourself.
I want out within 1 to 2 years
You've made the decision in your head — you're just working out the timing
I could see selling in 2 to 5 years
It's on the horizon but you're not rushing
Probably 5 to 10 years out
You still have meaningful runway before selling makes sense
I'm genuinely unsure — that's part of why I'm here
No clear timeline yet
Question 2 of 6
How would you describe your park's current cash flow?
Think about the past 12 months compared to the 12 before that. Be realistic.
Strong and growing
Revenue is up, expenses are in control, the park is performing at or above expectations
Steady but flat
The park produces consistent income but you're not seeing meaningful growth
Declining or under pressure
Expenses are rising, occupancy has softened, or something specific is squeezing the numbers
Below its potential — I know there's upside I haven't captured
The park is underperforming relative to what it could earn with the right operator
Question 3 of 6
What's your honest read on upcoming capital needs?
Think about infrastructure — electrical, water and sewer, roads, buildings — not regular maintenance.
The park is in good shape — no major capital coming
Infrastructure is relatively modern or recently updated
There's some deferred maintenance but nothing critical
I could address it in the next few years without it being a crisis
Significant capital will be needed in the next 1 to 3 years
Septic replacement, electrical upgrades, major road work — real money is coming
Already dealing with a capital-intensive situation right now
Compliance issues, infrastructure failures, or storm damage already in progress
Question 4 of 6
What's your instinct about where RV park values are headed in your market over the next 2 years?
There's no right answer here. This is about how you read the current cycle — not a prediction test.
Values will likely increase — I expect cap rates to compress further
Buyer demand is strong, interest rates may soften, the market still has room to run
Values will stay roughly flat — the market seems stable
No strong momentum in either direction in my specific market
Values might soften — cap rates could expand from here
Higher interest rates, economic uncertainty, or cooling buyer demand in my market
I honestly don't know — I don't follow the market closely enough
Market timing isn't something I track
Question 5 of 6
How would you describe your relationship with regulatory or compliance requirements?
HCD in California, water rights concerns, zoning issues, or any ongoing state or local regulatory friction.
Clean — no open issues, no regulatory pressure
Permits are current, no citations, the regulatory side is not a concern
Minor issues I'm managing — nothing serious
Maybe some administrative items, but nothing that keeps me up at night
Real compliance pressure I'm dealing with
HCD citations, water rights uncertainty, open violations — real stress from the regulatory side
Not applicable — not in a state with this kind of pressure
Not in California and no significant regulatory complications
Question 6 of 6
How are you feeling about running this park day to day?
This one matters more than people admit. The operational reality of owning a park is a real part of the sell-or-hold decision.
I still enjoy it — this is not a burden
The work is meaningful, the guests are good, the operation fits my life
I'm neutral — I do the work, but the passion has faded
It's fine, but it's not exciting the way it used to be
I'm tired — health, age, or life circumstances are making this harder
The physical or mental demands of running a park don't match where I am in life
I'm done — I've already mentally moved on
I'm staying out of obligation or inertia, not because I want to be
This tool evaluates six factors that consistently matter most in the sell-or-hold decision for RV park owners: your personal timeline, current financial health, upcoming capital needs, your read on market direction, regulatory pressure, and how you're feeling about the work itself.
It's designed to give you an honest assessment — including recommending that you wait when that's the right answer. We'd rather you trust us enough to call us eventually than feel manipulated into calling us now. The tool doesn't know every nuance of your specific park or situation, but it reflects how experienced owners and buyers think through this decision.
If the result says to hold, there are specific reasons listed — and specific things you can do to increase your park's value in the meantime. If it says to sell, there are reasons for that too, and a way to start a conversation with no commitment required.
