About Us

ParkNation, Inc. is an experienced, expanding real-estate acquisition and management service company specializing in stabilizing and managing mobile home parks. ParkNation is focused on providing management services, growing occupancy, and stabilizing the current footprint of mobile home parks.  The intention is to improve the quality and efficiency of our property management services, refine processes, and develop a scalable model to achieve exponential growth.

ParkNation was created to access and navigate this fragmented mobile home market and capture and consolidate the opportunity.  Mr. Timothy A. Pikey, P.E. discovered the mobile home park opportunity with his first mobile home park acquisition in 2007.  After multiple mobile home park acquisitions, developing the initial processes, and managing those mobile home parks, the idea of creating a management company dedicated to mobile home parks with the possibility of impacting the industry was conceived in 2013, and the naming and branding process 2014.

ParkNation, Inc. was officially founded in February 2015 and acquired its Manufactured Housing Retailer Installer’s License in 2017.  ParkNation is a Texas-based corporation offering turn-key mobile home park management solutions:

    • Mobile Home Park Management Services
    • Mobile Home Park Acquisitions
    • Manufactured Housing
    • Community Living

The current acquisition model targets the older “value-added” mobile home parks in areas with a high job demand and ongoing need for affordable housing.  The management service market provides a broader-based opportunity to sell mobile home park management services to investors and institutions owning multiple, larger parks throughout the nation.

ParkNation’s model also provides an access point for low-income families to connect with affordable housing.  Both Park Owned and ParkNation Homes include new and used manufactured homes, offering a low-cost solution for housing, while our Communities provide a location for families and individuals to place their homes and live.

ParkNation currently manages 23 mobile home parks in Texas and California, comprising 1300 total mobile home and RV Sites and 180 homes under the rental and lease option programs. The current plan is to acquire additional parks and grow to a footprint of 100 parks totaling 5000 spaces within the next 24-36 months.

ParkNation can successfully manage this market utilizing the most effective processes, people, and culture where integrity and producing results are priorities.

Culture

ParkNation has a results-driven culture built upon people who inherently have high integrity, take personal responsibility, and truly care about others. Those people work independently and together as a team to accomplish common company initiatives, leverage effective communication, and create an environment of trust where results happen.

Communication

ParkNation communication begins with listening, always speaking from the context of committed language, and communicating promptly when commitments change. This type of communication creates certainty, which is critical to the culture and success of the business.  The communication is defined by a language of commitment where the only answers to any questions are yes, no, by when, or when will you say by when. All other answers are a story and do not produce the expected results.  Using this communication framework creates certainty around who you are, builds trust, and accelerates business rhythm.

People

In the heart of our culture are people who thrive in a challenging environment, take personal responsibility, and are solution-oriented in action and producing results. They care about other human beings and have an innate ability or intuition to anticipate and provide for the needs of others. They naturally have a level of integrity, willing to look at what is missing or in the way, make adjustments, and are constantly adapting to a rapidly growing business. They communicate in the form of commitments or language of action, and as soon as they know their commitment has changed, they communicate promptly. They honor their word by managing the expectations and creating a world of certainty.
