Ownership situations
Selling an RV Park With Existing Debt
Existing debt is normal in commercial real estate and rarely prevents a sale. It just needs to be identified early so it can be handled properly at closing.

The usual path: payoff at closing
In most transactions the closing agent orders a payoff statement and the loan is satisfied from sale proceeds. You receive the remaining equity after costs.
Things to check on your loan
- Prepayment penalty, yield maintenance, or defeasance provisions
- Whether the loan is assumable and on what terms
- Due-on-sale language
- Any cross-collateralization with other properties
- Escrow balances that should be returned to you
When the loan exceeds likely value
If the debt is close to or above the property's value, the options narrow and lender involvement becomes central. It is still worth a conversation, but be candid about the balance from the start so no one wastes time.
