Wise investors are looking for recession proof businesses with appreciable capital assets. There may be none better than this trailer park campground located in East Ottawa – now for sale – which caters to affordable living.
With the world the way it is right now, people are examining the wisdom of certain investment strategies. Unless you’re Warren Buffet, this Realtor recommends you avoid the volatile markets and bank on the tangible ones. Assets – real estate and specifically income producing properties are the right play. Real assets can offer you a more secure return on investment. Not just for your pocket book, but for your emotional wellbeing.
Reliable, necessary and within an owner’s control, hard real estate assets offer you a feeling of security that can’t be matched by stock markets. And income producing real estate gives you even more advantages.
Now more than ever, is the time to acquire an income producing property. Think real cash flow, real opportunity for growth, capital appreciation and long term equity. These are just some of the benefits of choosing an income producing property as your investment.
Among the most secure and necessary type of income properties are those that cater to affordable living. RV trailer parks are the ticket for low rent living. And what people love about them is that they get to live on a beautifully maintained property with all the comforts and conveniences of brick and mortar homes.

Some are snow birds who migrate South in the winter and live above the 49th parallel during the Spring, Summer and Fall.
