Independent Guidance for Oregon Manufactured Home Community Owners.
Solomon Community Advisors is a boutique advisory practice serving manufactured home community owners and investment groups. With more than a decade of experience supporting communities across the Pacific Northwest, I now work exclusively with owners in Oregon. I provide practical operational guidance and project support, working directly with owners or alongside their management teams.
You'll have direct access to me, not a phone tree or general support line. My advice is independent and focused on your priorities, with clear recommendations and fees agreed upon in advance. Engagements are tailored to your needs, so you get experienced advice and guidance focused on what matters to you.
Owner-Focused Support for Oregon Communities
Property management companies provide valuable day-to-day services. But some owners need a different kind of support: experienced, independent guidance focused on their priorities and investment.
Solomon Community Advisors can work directly with owners who self-manage, or alongside an existing management company to help ownership evaluate performance, address concerns, and keep important projects moving. Our role is to support the owner's interests, not replace the management team.
Owners work with us for:
An independent perspective before making a significant decision
Practical guidance grounded in manufactured housing operations
Support navigating resident concerns and operational requirements
Stronger approaches to inspections, documentation, and follow-through
Help assessing whether management services are meeting ownership's needs
Each engagement is scoped to the work you need, with fees agreed in advance. That gives owners another way to access focused expertise without changing their management arrangement or paying for services outside the agreed scope.

Experience Matters
Manufactured home communities have distinct operational, regulatory, and resident considerations. Solomon Community Advisors brings hands-on experience to the issues owners navigate every day, including:
Resident concerns, communication, and conflict resolution
Oregon regulations, rent changes, and rent requirements
Community inspections, notices, and follow-through
Vendor coordination, capital projects, and cost oversight
Utility billing and submetering
FED preparation and coordination with legal counsel
I provide an independent perspective to help owners assess complex situations, set priorities, and decide on practical next steps.
A Different Kind of Owner Support
"Independent advice has no agenda except yours."
"Experience is knowing what the policy says. Expertise is knowing what happens when that policy meets reality."
"Proactive guidance costs far less than reactive problem solving."
Solomon Community Advisors is an independent advisory firm, not a property management company. We work directly with owners, either alongside their existing management team or on specific needs when they manage the community themselves.
We don’t collect rent or provide day-to-day property management.
We don’t replace onsite managers or management firms.
Our fees are agreed in advance and are not based on a percentage of community revenue.
Our work is tailored to the owner’s priorities and the support they need.
We bring an independent operational perspective to help owners make informed decisions, strengthen their communities, and protect their investment.
What People Are Saying
“A Trusted Property Management Partner
I first met Craig Solomon at a business conference in 2021, where I found him pleasant and personable.
Finding the Right Property Manager
In 2022, I needed advice about managing my mobile home park. While contacting several property-management companies and leaving messages, I came across Craig’s card again. To my surprise, he answered my call personally, offered useful advice, and suggested questions I could ask when speaking with other companies. He then asked to visit my property so he could evaluate it and follow up with a proposal.
Four Years of Responsive, Trusted Service
Craig delivered his management proposal before most of my initial voicemails were even returned. Over the next four years, he made it possible for me to successfully be an absentee owner. He became more than a contact; he became a trusted business partner and advisor who consistently responded with practical advice and solutions. Although my mobile home park is small, he always treated my business as though it were as important to him as it is to me. I would recommend Craig without hesitation to any property owner seeking a responsive, knowledgeable, and dependable management advisor.”
— Kathy Blue, Owner Blue’s Mobile Home Park, Brookings
We were delighted to hear that Craig is planning to start a new chapter in his life. With his working knowledge of the manufactured home business, I'm sure his services will be in great demand among other park owners as well. Although we have owned our park for 35 years, we only hired a management company three years ago, primarily to help with all the ongoing landlord-tenant laws and government requirements and regulations. That's how we met Craig and became friends through our business dealings. He knew it was time to make a change. Hence, Solomon Community Advisors came to be.
I urge you to meet with Craig to find out how he can best serve your community. He has the knowledge, contacts, and experience to bring to you. Although he will not be doing park management, he knows how it's done and where the gaps are. He can help fill those gaps and enable your business to operate more efficiently and profitably. He knows the problems and where and how to find the answers. Craig has another attribute we feel is invaluable. He responds to communication quickly, whether it be a voicemail, text, or email. In our business and in dealing with tenant issues, a timely response is critical.
If you feel it would be beneficial to you and your park to have someone on board who is trustworthy, honest, knowledgeable, and responsive, Craig is your man!
