Many people are struggling these days to get their foot in the door of the expensive real estate market in Kamloops and the Okanagan.<\/p>\n

Average prices for condos in those regions start at about $400,000 but there are other interesting options on the market in that price range.<\/p>\n

Bill Summers of Lighthouse Realty in Abbotsford, for example, is offering the 7-pad Ranchero Mobile Home Park on 1.07 acres of land in Salmon Arm for a mere $459,000, or about the same price as one of those condos.<\/p>\n

It comes with a gross annual income of about $32,000 and requires no onsite management, the listing says.<\/p>\n

With expenses of a mere $4,129, that nets the owner almost $28,000 per year.<\/p>\n

For the more ambitious new park owner who wants to stay in the region, Summers also lists the 22-pad, 8.6-acre Lakeview Terrace park on Walters Road in Summerland for $2.19 million.<\/p>\n

It comes with 22 owner-occupiers and “fantastic Okanagan Lake views across to Naramata.”<\/p>\n

The brochure for that park shows a net income of $106,000 per year.<\/p>\n

Both listings can be seen here.<\/a><\/p>\n
