Hotel pioneer Conrad Hilton began with a 40-room hotel in Cisco, Texas, before realizing that larger assets generate vastly superior management efficiencies.
- The 50-space threshold: a 20-space park cannot support a dedicated on-site manager or justify third-party management fees.
- Scale efficiencies: a 75- to 150-space community spreads fixed costs — mowing equipment, software, insurance, full-time staff — across a wider revenue base.
Key Takeaway
Targeting communities with 50+ spaces provides the operational scale needed to support professional management and maximize net margins.
