Why we checked itSpecific assertion that private equity firms have been purchasing residential properties and mobile home parks in Maine and driving up rates — a verifiable market trend claim
What we foundMultiple independent sources confirm that private equity firms have been buying mobile home parks in Maine and sharply raising lot rents, with documented examples of 50–100%+ increases; corporate investor purchasing of single-family homes and apartment buildings is also documented but is proportionally smaller than the broad 'bought up' framing suggests.
