Please, if you have the time, fill out the questionnaire under the “Selling” tab above and I will send your property info to a few local investors in your area that may be interested in purchasing the property.

Hi Jim,

Wonderful to hear about you withing to help local sellers/buyers and also create an income for yourself. I am familiar with your area. Please see my thoughts below in bold text. Your original questions are non bold to help differentiate the two better.

How do I go about becoming a M H investor? The easiest answer is by knowing how to find, offer, buy, sell, hold MHs so that you can make a business out of this industry helping local sellers and buyers. However, this is the very short answer, there are many small steps between where you are and complete clarity.

I have many questions? What is Mobile Home Formula. You may learn more about it here. https://www.mobilehomeinvesting.net/may-i-see-an-example-of-the-mobile-home-deal-maker-formula-training-demo-proof This system has been created from me helping many folks around the use and investing in MHs for the past 10+ years.

The M H Park I live in is for 40+. How can I become one of your investors? I am happy to help anyone succeed. I can teach procedures and offer my personal help with all your deals however I can not tech motivation. If you have motivation, determination, and genuinely want to help people you can be successful in this business. Plus your area of Largo is a very MH dense are in general.

I hope my words have helped bring you some clarity. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to email me personally,

Hi Neal,

Thanks for commenting. I am unsure of your area and many further details but I would be happy to help you if possible. Click the “Selling” tab above to list your property and I will send it to any local investor that may be interested in the home. If the home is too much for you to pay off it may likely be too much for my investors in your local area. The taxes have not been paid for the last 3 years? What area of the country is this in? In my opinion you should list the property for a low as you can go for the fastest sale possible. It is winter time so the buyers in the market are slower than they will be early next year. Comment back and we’ll go from there.

Hope this helps and Talk soon,
John

Hi Tom,

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Concerning your question it is important to understand that many buyers will expect to take possession of the mobile home as soon as they buy it. However some buyers will be alright with this arrangement, perhaps if you discount the price a bit. Additionally you may have to take 80% of the agreed upon sales price now and the other 20% when you leave the home free of junk and clean. This is of course to make the buyer feel at ease with the transaction and having you remain in the home. This is only from experience and your results may vary.

With regards to you comment about an agreement of occupancy after closing, Yes, this is something I provide to mobile home investors learning this business and it works just as you outlined above. This agreement will be a simple meeting of the minds between you and your buyer that makes you both feel comfortable with the arrangement.

Let me know if this helps and if you have any other further questions.

All the best,
John Fedro

Hi Michael,

Thank you so much for the kind words. The site has certainly been a labor of love I hope it has provided value to you and others.

I regret to hear about your step-father passing. San Antonio is a great and hot market for mobile homes most of the time. You should not have much issue selling this home if it is priced accordingly, however I definitely could be wrong depending on your home and the specific park and what is also for sale nearby. Smoking is a common issue and relatively easily corrected. Does the home have carpet anywhere in the home? If you don’t mind me asking how much are you looking to get for this two bedroom home? I do have two investors nearby that are actively purchasing mobile homes, and three if you include me. Additionally what park is this located in?

If you don’t feel comfortable posting the answers on this website then please feel free to email me at John@mobilehomeinvesting.net.

Hi Nora,

Thank you so much for commenting and reaching out concerning your issue. Please see my thoughts below in bold.

Greetings, i do not know the exact year the unit was built, all i am.aware of its considered a seventys style unit. I also do not know the manufacture. I am in the beginnings stages of the eviction. I regret to hear that you are in this situation. I would be happy to help any way I can. The unit.runds parallel with the street so the property is rather large even with.a.1440 sq ft mobilehome on it. Understood. This sounds like a very large home. How much money are you behind to the park if you don’t mind me asking? What asking price are you looking for for the home? Do you have somewhere else to move to? The sq.footage includes however the.enclosed screen room that run the length on the backside of the trailer. There is a.rather.big front yard.along with side by side parking that is although detached from the unit but is.located four.feet.or.so.from the unit. On one side there is a.cement.slab approximately fifteen by fifteen or so with a shed located on it. The other.side.is.big as well considering the unit.runs parallel with the street the neigbor on one side is not.close at all,.there are.also trees and.a.newly developed fence just put up no more than a month ago. Than of course there is the.back yard.the.screen room located on the back aide of the unit than there is the back yard maybe seven to eight feed deep all the way down the back of the unit. Sounds lovely. My question is how much should i ask.and.considering.im in the middlw of the eviction what is my best option. In many states an eviction will not last long. In addition, once the park gets the home back they may sell it for a retail price or very cheap. My 1st answer to your question is, “for a much as possible for a very fast sale”. With that said a more accurate number may be $1000 over what is owed to the park. After you are evicted you will have an eviction on your record (which you don’t want) and you will not have any money. Aim to sell fast for someone to pay the park what they are owed, take you out of eviction, and pay you $500-$1500 asap… if that is even possible. The number of bedrooms, condition of the home, and location will be a big factor in your resale too. Make sure you are advertising the home in every online and offline methods you can. If you are unable to do this have a friend help you. There are likely buyers nearby, they just have to find you and see your ad. Oh i also srill owe taxes.considering i havent paid for.a.few.years perhaps six thousand or so. I simply.want to make a.small.profit and.do not want to loose the unit to the park. Due to the taxes owed and you needing to sell fast at a $6000+ price tag – a fast sale may not be possible. If you had more time or the home was newer you may find a buyer sooner. Bad things happen to good people and I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. Make sure to continue marketing the home online on craigslist and sellfastbyowner.com. If you have any further uestions or follow up questions don’t hesitate to reach back out.

Hi Nelly,

In most cases you will not need an attorney to sell your personal mobile home. If you let me know what state you are living in I would be able to tell you with more certainty for sure if a lawyer is needed or suggested. In short most mobile homes inside parks will not ever need a closing attorney, however I highly advise you to hire a title company or attorney to close any mobile home attached to a private land you also own. I hope this makes sense and helps.

Hi Amber,

Thank you for reaching out to me with this issue. If your mobile home has been kept in shape and is of good quality then selling for a reduced price will only help speed up the sale. In reality the lower price you ask for the home the more potential buyers will be interested. This is simply because more buyers have $10,000 in your area then have $20,000 cash in your area. Likewise, more people have $3000 or $4000 instead of $10,000 cash lying around. However I know you are not looking to sell for less than $10,000. Make sure you advertise your home for sale in as many places as possible. Make sure you advertise your home for sale online at sites such as Craigslist.com and sellfastbyowner.com. Also make sure your site is listed in the local newspaper and even with signs around town advertising your home for sale in your phone number. The more serious buyers walking through your home the better. After a few weeks with good traffic through the home you should either have the home sold or at least have valuable feedback from potential buyers letting you know what is wrong with the home or if it is still overpriced. I hope that all this has helped and makes sense. If you have any follow-up questions or feedback never hesitate to reach out again. Always here to help.

Hi Suzanne,

Thank you for reaching out to me concerning this issue. I’ll be very happy to give you my thoughts. If you are in a high demand area with serious cash buyers all around you beating down your door for the opportunity to own this home, then by all means aim to collect a profit over your $13,000 owed to the bank. You mentioned a down payment, this would insinuate that you plan on selling the home with monthly payments. If this is the case then there is much paperwork to consider and also making sure that the park management and you are on the same side moving forward. However you mentioned you do not want to be the lienholder so you may not be considering accepting payments.

Because the home is a 1997 it should be in decent condition. This is actually a fairly newer mobile home in my opinion. It would be a very good idea for you to contact local banks in the area that may consider lending on this particular mobile home. Make sure you understand their lending policy and who they are looking to lend money to. When you talk to all future potential buyers you can ask them questions such as their income, credit score, job history, etc. The point of this is to make sure you are not wasting time with buyers who will never be able to get approved at the bank. Additionally if you find a cash buyer that will pay $13,000 or more you should absolutely take the money and run.

I hope that my response has been helpful and as pointed you in the right direction. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to comment back any time. Also make sure your property is listed on Craigslist.com and in your local newspaper. Additionally, you can even hang signs around your ZIP Code advertising your home for sale with your phone number.

Keep in touch and I hope to talk to you soon.

Hi Chris,

I regret to hear about your wife’s condition and the ongoing stress that living next to these two neighbors is causing you both. It sounds like you are very levelheaded and simply wish to sell your mobile home for a very reasonable price to a low risk buyer. I have seen this about a dozen times throughout my career, where a park manager knowingly does things to deny potential residents trying to come into the park. Sometimes park managers do this because they are better and even racist, and other times park managers do this because they are trying to have the homeowner (you) have to give the mobile home to the park free and clear. I do not know the motives of your park manager however it definitely seems they are the ones causing you from moving on with your life. I have a few suggestions for you. First of all, if you approach the park manager in a mean or rude manner this will likely only do a disservice for you trying to move forward quickly and sell your home. I suggest that you continue marketing your home for $2000 and aiming to have as many people walk through your property as possible. Next, send as many people to the park office as possible. I would have a heart-to-heart with the park manager and let her know that you are considering removing your mobile home from this park and bringing it to a nearby park or piece of land. This is of course an empty threat however you need to let her know that you will not simply sit around while this mobile home doesn’t sell because people keep getting denied in the park. You will have to let her know that somebody either has to get approved in the next week or two or you will be potentially moving forward with the mover to remove your home from this park. The park manager will most likely not want the home to be removed so they will understand your urgency and realize they need to approve somebody ASAP. This doesn’t fix the issue always however it has fixed the issue a few times in the past. Again, I’m sorry that you are going through all this but it sounds like you have a very nice home in a decent park, minus the park manager of course. I hope this answer has been helpful and in the lease pointed you in the right direction. You can always seek the help of a real estate attorney. Some real estate attorneys offer one hour free consultations if you need their help. Make sure to have all of your questions so that you can get everything answered within this free hour. I hope this has helped. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach back. Always here to help.

Hi Oscar,

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Congratulations on finding a potential buyer to purchase your parents property. It sounds like the home must be in good condition and that your parents had a high pride of ownership. Florida is what is known as an Electronic Title State, this means that in addition to a paper title, and electronic title and lean are recorded as well. What this means is that you should absolutely be able to receive your title much faster than 45 days if they were to expedite this process. However, the person at your lender’s office you are talking to over the phone probably was not too eager or proactive with speeding along this process. In Florida you can also go to the local DMV and print out a brand-new title same day. This means that once the DMV had notice from the lender that the lien was satisfied, the DMV could create a new original title for you immediately. Perhaps you can call up your lender and see if they will simply mail you the current title they are in possession of, make sure that they sign the lien holder section releasing the lien on the physical paper title. This way you can bring the title into the DMV yourself and transfer it same day. Your lender may or may not be open for this. If your lender is not open for this then obtaining the services of a title agency or closing attorney may be helpful. This way the title agent can hold the buyers $31,000 ($9000 will go to pay off the loan) while you wait for the title to come in the mail. Once the new title is in then the third-party agency (title company or attorney) can hand you the money and your buyers the title.

I hope this helps and make some sense. If you have any follow-up questions don’t hesitate to comment back.

Hi Anne,

Thank you for reaching out concerning this issue. I very much regret to read your situation and this awful sounding park manager. A 10-year-old to bed your mobile home is actually considered relatively new in the mobile home world. If your mother took care of the home than it is likely still in very great shape. With the minor repairs you mentioned sounds like it would be like new again.

Due to the park and the ongoing track record of this park manager I would highly encourage you to call every local family park you can and ask them if they have any move-in incentives. You are looking for a park that will pay for you to move this mobile home from its current location into this new park. Call all parks within our away. Even if you have to pay some money to get the home to its new location, at least you will be able to sell the home quickly. Also, if you do move a mobile home you will have your choice of areas to move it to. This may help increase the value as well.

I know as you read this you are likely not going to be excited about moving a mobile home. When you have a competent mover they handle almost everything for you. It is a bit of a hassle sometimes to move a mobile home however much less of a hassle than it will be dealing with this park manager.

He will likely have some questions about moving the home so don’t hesitate to comment back with any questions or concerns.

Before you move the mobile home you may want to let the park manager know you will be removing the home if you cannot get a buyer approved within the next week or two. This is not a threat it is only a fact is you cannot keep floating the lot rent payment monthly.

Keep up the positive attitude and please note that your mother’s home does sound very nice and valuable. To the right buyer they would definitely pay retail either cash or payments. I hope this helps and made sense. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns don’t hesitate to write back.

Hi Erin,

Thank you for reaching out concerning this issue. I regret to hear about the bank being difficult and you being unable to find the needed information. My suggestions for where to find the series information would be to call up the builder, assuming they are still in business, and asking them your specific question based on the model number and the year the home was produced. Besides that the information the state has and what you find inside the mobile home on the “data plate” will be where most information concerning the mobile home can be found. Inside the home this data plate is a piece of paper or piece of metal displaying all the homes pertinent information. This data plate can be found in the master bedroom closet, the water heater area, or even in a kitchen cupboard. Depending on the builder this location will vary.

Outside of these tips you are hands are pretty much tied in my experience. I try to never go through a bank if possible because ultimately they have the final word and you are typically dealing with a corporation that will not listen to reason, even though you can show the home they are talking about is different from the actual home being invested in.

I would suggest also trying another local bank or credit union in the area. Claytonbank.com is a nationwide lender that may lend on this mobile home as well.

I hope this helps and points you in the right direction. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out. Always here to help.

Hi Charla,

Congratulations on your home purchase! That is a fairly newer mobile home so hopefully it is in great shape and will easily last you another 20 or 30 years or longer. It is true that in Texas the taxes will need to be paid and brought current before new ownership is given. These back taxes will only continue to accrue interest charges and fees as the years go by. I would highly suggest that you bite the bullet and pay these taxes to bring everything current. Make sure you get title and complete ownership so that the woman who sold it to you can’t go around you and sell it to somebody else. Please keep in mind that until the title or SOL is in your name the current owner may “sell” the home to somebody else and have it recorded into this new person’s name. It doesn’t sound like the seller will do this however to protect your interests get the taxes paid ASAP and put the ownership into your name. If you have any questions or concerns about how to do this please don’t hesitate to reach out. In addition you can also call the state at 512-459-1221 and ask them any and all specific questions about the mobile home in your situation. Mention that you are a private buyer purchasing from a private seller inside of a mobile home park. The folks at the office when you call are usually very helpful and friendly. Keep in touch and let us know how this works out.

Hi Wor,

Thank you for commenting and reaching out concerning this issue. I very much regret to hear about the hardship this park manager is causing you. This park manager is clearly overstepping their boundaries and is on a power trip for some reason. I wish I could say that this was the first time I am hearing of a situation like this, however it happens more than I would care to remember. It is for this reason it is very important for investors to screen park managers, just as park managers are screening us.

Concerning your situation however, you do have a few options based on our experience. This park manager is obviously and blatantly steering people away from your home. If you have your price and terms set at an attractive price than you likely have a fair amount of buyers wanting to purchase your home. Make sure you go to the office with these buyers when they turn in their application and fill out the lease agreement. You want to hear what the park manager has to say and challenge what they are saying so the new buyer does not leave. With that said if an argument breaks out this will not look good either.

We have had success by sincerely going to the park manager and letting them know that we will be moving the home out of the park in a few weeks if we cannot find a buyer that is approved. I encourage you to look around your local area and call every local park to find out what their “move-in incentive” are currently. A move-in incentive is a concession a mobile home park gives or pays you to move your mobile home into their park. Some mobile home parks will pay for the entire move and set up of your mobile home. You can then move your mobile home to this new park and resell it with more ease. Additionally it may be a nicer park so you can charge a bit more. With that said it is best if you do not move your home and that this threat to remove the home is taken seriously enough for the park manager to approve the next buyer. We have seen decent success with this strategy.

I truly regret to hear about your situation. When this first happened to me I was in shock and disbelief that a park manager could be so blatantly greedy and selfish. If she did send you a buyer then perhaps that could be an exit strategy. If the buyer is willing to pay your price in cash then so be it. Either way you move forward I would definitely consult a real estate attorney. Some real estate attorneys offer one free hour consultations. Have your questions together to get all of them answered in this hour. In addition you should file a formal complaint with the state about this park manager’s actions. Yes I agree the fair housing Council would be a good place to turn to. This seems like a slow and arduous process. It would be best for you to sell the home and get out and continue moving forward with the complaint.

If you truly wish to sell quickly you may also choose to lower the price even further and send to 2 to 4 buyers into the park to get approved all within a weeks time. I would hopefully think that one of these buyers would get approved.

Please keep in touch and let me know how you proceed. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out.

Hi Tanya,

Thank you for reaching out concerning this issue. I regret to hear that you are having trouble to sell your three-bedroom home. This home certainly does not sound like the biggest I have ever seen however the three bedrooms is definitely what most people are looking for. It is true that some mobile home parks will not do anything to help you sell your mobile home, a very few number of parks and park managers will actually hurt your chances of selling your home in their park. With that said price cures most worries. I will explain below…

You must make sure that you are advertising your home properly to every buyer that could potentially want the home. This includes traditional buyers, out-of-state buyers, other mobile home parks, mobile home brokers, etc. You will advertise online at craigslist.com, by placing small signs within 5 km of your mobile home for sale advertising the property, the sales price, and how to reach you. Also in a small local community newspaper would be a wise decision as well. In addition to placing these ads you will also wish to reach out to nearby parks and local dealers. You’ll find this information online or by searching through your local phone directory. Ask these parks and dealers if they buy used single wide mobile homes, and go from there.

Next, the price and or terms you are selling the mobile home for have to be attractive to some percentage of the buying demographic. If you are asking too high of a price or not able to compete with the mobile home park you will probably have to lower your asking price on the mobile home. If a buyer feels like they are getting a good deal and he will act quickly to close and purchase your home as is.

I hope this all helps and makes sense importing you in a direction to move forward. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out any time. Always here to help.

Hi Anon Seller,

Thank you for reaching out with this issue. I very much regret to hear about the condition and situation you and your neighbors are living in. This mobile home park sounds like it would be otherwise a friendly and great neighborhood to be and if it wasn’t for this park manager creating problems where there are none. I am happy to say that this is the vast minority of parks. Most park managers and park owners want their communities to be thriving in happy places to live. With that said I certainly have seen my fair share of greedy, small minded, racist, irrational park managers and owners.

Concerning your questions I would be happy to give my advice and point you in the direction I feel is most appropriate. With that said please feel free to seek legal counsel from a real estate attorney. I would encourage you to seek an attorney that gives one hour free consultation, this way you can get your questions answered during this free hour.

The mobile home park likely made you sign a rules and covenants of the park agreement at the time you moved in. In this agreement it may say that the park has some rights to control what the inside and outside of your mobile home looks like prior to it being resold. However this is not common and should absolutely be written in the agreement that you and the park have signed. Would you are describing does not sound legal, fair, or even slightly ethical. This park management does sound like it is trying to extort people and has very little fear of any repercussions. I absolutely encourage you to report these folks to the authorities. Please see the following link from the California Department of housing authority http://www.hcd.ca.gov/codes/occupational-licensing/filecomplaint.html. I would aim to file a complaint and follow up on it regularly.

I admire your persistence and not allowing yourself to become the victim. Please keep us in the loop moving forward. If you have any specific or general questions moving forward don’t ever hesitate to reach back out.

Hi Stacy,

Thank you so much for reaching out concerning these issues. Please see my thoughts below in bold.

I;,m very new to this as a whole. My question is if you have a 1996 Weston fleetwood single wide with a payoff of 11,000 and need to trade in for a larger home, due to circumstance, what can we do? This sounds like a very reasonable price for many 1996 fleetwoods.. depending on size and condition of course. The home we have looked at is a double wide for 58,500. There is two banks that the dealer has asked loans from, one of the banks offered us 62,000, and we are still waiting for a response for the second bank. Congratulations on being bank financable. If we do nor receive a better deal. What are we looking at, as of the down payment. This depends on the bank lending program offered by the bank. Some loans are 5% down and others are 25% or more. If you were approved for $58k then I will assume it is a normal 10%-15% down payment needed, however I could be wrong here. Your lender will alert you for sure. I do understand that the lien has to be paid off before the sell. So, would the worth of the present mobile home go towards the lien, and if its not enough to payoff the lien, would it count as a down payment towards the new mobile home? If I am understanding the question correctly then… not likely. If you can not pay off the current loan this will likely need to be paid in full before the title will be released to the new owner of the $11k home. I hope this all helps and makes sense. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out anytime. Always here to help.

Hi Tim,

Thanks so much for reaching out with your concerns. I would certainly be happy to help give you some clarity. First things first, congratulations on finding a home that you both love.

Let’s talk about your wife’s home first. This home is free and clear and you should aim to resell it for as much as you can get in the local market. We are going into the winter months so there will be even fewer buyers than there are normally in the market. With this said you may indeed have to sell it for free in order to get a quick sale and stop paying lot rent every single month. With that said, you should certainly start out trying to ask for $1500 or so. Aim to get 10 potential buyers walking through the homes to get their opinions of prices and conditions. If any of them wanted and make you a good offer you would be wise to consider it.

Concerning your home this will vary depending on how much you owe in the local market. If the park manager gave you a funny look concerning the amount you are asking for the home, then they may likely be correct that you are offering too much. With that said you are offering too much “all-cash”. If you decide to sell the home for a down payment and monthly payments, then you could potentially collect a considerable amount more than an all-cash sale. Plus you have many more buyers to choose from. However, the title will have to stay in your name until it is paid off. The park would have to be okay with this. We won’t go into too much detail on this comment however they would be a good bit more to discuss if you wanted to sell your home via monthly payments. Exception: If you are able to collect a down payment from your tenant buyer in the amount of your pay off, you could pay off the note and transfer title to the buyer while you remain as lienholder on the title.

I hope that this is all helped and made sense. There certainly a lot of questions and variables moving forward. If you have any questions or follow-up concerns never hesitate to reach out. I hope that this answer has given you a direction to move forward in.

Hi Matt,

thank you for reaching out concerning these issues. I regret to hear about the situation that your landlord is making these demands of you. Is the landlord the one that sold the home to you? Or did you purchase the home from a private seller that is since long gone? Obviously, if your purchased from the park/landlord then any code violations were likely pre-existing issues when you purchased the mobile home. With that said, the landlord does not have to accept the title from you willingly if they do not wish to. Most landlords do not want to go through an eviction process or repossession to take the title back if needed… I say this to you because it would be my suggestion that you sincerely and very transparently tell the landlord that you simply do not have the money to pay lot rent and make the needed updates. You do not want the home to go through repossession and if they are willing you’d like to sign it back over to them as is. If they do not wish to have it signed over then they will foolishly be spending money to repossess a home that they could’ve otherwise simply taken back for free.

In short with regards to giving the home away for free to the park or landlord, they can demand these upgrades from you before they purchase. Keep in mind that it is not law that you make these upgrades, it is simply the landlord demanding that you make these upgrades so that they do not have to come out of pocket themselves. Since the park can decide to accept your home or not, I would not stop advertising the home for sale, or even for a free price in the local newspaper, yard signs hung around town with your phone number, and online sites listing your home for sale.

I hope this all helps and at least point you in the right direction. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out anytime. Always here to help. Keep in touch

Hi Tiffany,

Thanks so much for reaching out with regards to your questions. I would be happy to help point you in any direction I can moving forward. Your 2014 mobile home no doubt is gorgeous. I hope it is a three bedroom as these typically sell the quickest.

First, let me answer the question about the mobile home movers. I do not personally know any movers in your area however it does not surprise me that they are flaky and do not call you back. With that said I would highly encourage you to stop by a number of local mobile home communities (or call them on the phone) to get references of mobile home movers and transport companies they have used in the past.

Because you have a 2014 model mobile home you should be aiming to resell this home to a bank financed seller. I am unsure of the retail value of your mobile home however you will obviously want to reduce this amount in order to make it attractive for your future buyer. It may be wise to contact local manufactured home dealers to let them know you have a newer model mobile home for sale. If the price is good some dealers may be interested in the home, however a $46,000 price tag may or may not be a win-win deal for most dealers.

With all this said I do agree that moving the mobile home to a parcel of land would be a way to increase value and demand for the property. Additionally, you could pick which hi-demand area locally you would want the mobile home to be placed. What is your budget for purchasing a small parcel of land nearby? What is your timeline that your current single wide mobile home has to be moved from the family property?

I hope these answers make sense and give you some clarity moving forward. Please answer the questions above and I’d be happy to give you any further assistance I can. If you have any questions or concerns moving forward never hesitate to reach out anytime. Keep in touch.

Hi Kayla,

Thank you for reaching out with regards to your questions. Congratulations on the coming sale and purchase of your next home! With that said I will assume that you are going through a bank to purchase your next manufactured home or single family home.

The first question you mentioned was about selling your home with regards to still having a lien on the property. I will also make the large assumption that this mobile home is located in a pre-existing mobile home park and not currently attached to land that you own. If I am right in both of these assumptions that we can proceed. I will also assume that you do not have the cash to pay off the current balance of your lien and that you will be using the buyers capital to pay this off before you transfer title to the buyer’s name. If your buyer will be paying cash for the mobile home than it is wise to have a title company, escrow agent, or real estate attorney as a third-party to collect the buyers capital. When the real estate attorney has the buyers funds then they may pay off any existing liens. Once a free title is available the attorney will then facilitate the transaction for the buyer to receive the title and for the seller (you) to receive any monies you are still owed. I hope this helps and makes sense of it. If you have any follow-up questions feel free to ask any time.

Next, you mentioned about purchasing a new home and potentially some land. I would encourage you to call around different brokers and local banks and credit unions to find out who has different programs with the types of propery you’re looking to buy. You will likely have to call 20 to 30 banks or credit unions before you find one that will be able to help you. A land contract is certainly another way to go if your family member or seller is willing to make these type of sales terms. I hope this helps and at least point you in the right direction. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out for ask them anytime. Keep in touch.

Hi Nicole,

Thank you so much for commenting and reaching out with regards to your questions. Please see my thoughts below in bold.

We currently have a loan on a 1993 double wide mobile home on our own property. The combined mortgage balance is around $40k with a real market value (tax assessors) of $31K for the land and $32K for the house. Our current home is not in great shape. We could do some minor repairs, but don’t want to spend a lot. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. A 1993 is certainly not that long ago if the home was well kept, and it is very good that the home has three bedrooms and two baths as this is popular with many buyers.

We would like to build a new house on our property and live in the mobile home until it is complete. Then we want to sell the mobile home and have the buyers move it off of our property so we can landscape the yard. Another option would be to sell the mobile home first, then live in our camper or with family while the new house is being built. We prefer the first situation. Understood and agreed. Whether you sell the home now or sell the home in a number of months after your SFR is completed, you will still be looking for an all-cash type of purchaser that is willing to remove the home and move it to their own property or park at their expense. Depending on the time of year you put the home on the market can determine the number of buyers that may have available cash to purchase such a property. More people have money during tax time however there will always be land owners and park owners that wish to add a nice mobile home to their property for the right price. When you are ready to advertise the property email me personally and we can discuss ways to get your property seen by most buyers in the area. I hope this all helps and makes sense.

Have you run into this type of situation before? Yes, it is quite common. There will be buyers and investors and brokers and possibly parks that may be interested in buying your home and moving it if the price is right… with or without repairs needed. What recommendations do you have? Build your home if there is ample room, then resell the mh at your convenience. Do we have to look for a private buyer or are there companies that will buy used houses and haul them away? Yes, however you will receive a higher price from a private buyer rather than a company. Also, visit local MH dealer lots in town that may be interested in buying or consigning your property to a list of their buyers. I hope this all helps and makes sense. There certainly more to discuss however keep in touch with any follow-up questions and concerns you may have moving forward. Always here to help.

Hello Maria,

Thank you so much for your detailed description and reaching out. It sounds like you have a good understanding of this community and the home and land that you are representing. You asked a few questions and I will aim to answer these accordingly. If I do not answer them correctly or you have any follow-up concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time. Removing and replacing a mobile home on a piece of land can be a hassle and/or a costly endeavor. $28,000 does seem a bit high for a plot of land that will take some work to develop and add a mobile home too. With that said I am not sure of the area and this could absolutely be a good price. The reason I mention it seems a bit high is because I purchased lots to place mobile homes on within Texas for $5000 each. This however is in more rural areas of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In short, if no one is biting on the $28,000 in the market has spoken and this is too costly of a price. I’m curious if you are able to purchase and move one of the other homes nearby onto the slot. If you can sell the home and land together that will obviously be the greatest value and sales price expected. Did the potential buyers that walked after the walk-through make a counteroffer, or did they just walk away? Additionally, make sure to advertise this mobile home in land on Craig’s list throughout the state and in the northern states where people are moving from to come to the warmer climates in Texas. Because this is a 55+ community you are obviously not able to sell to the majority of buyers that would otherwise be happy to purchase this land to add a mobile home to. I say this because many senior citizen buyers are looking for a home that is ready to be moved into. Perhaps your seller could spend a bit of money to redo the subfloors in the current mobile home. I’ve been through newer mobile homes that do not look as nice as some from the 1970s… Is truly how the home has been taken care of over the years. I hope this all helps and makes sense. As always, any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time. Always here to help.

Hi Lisa,

Thank you so much for reaching out with regards to your comments and questions. Thank you for bringing up the point that I do not have too many articles or videos discussing how to sell or purchase a mobile home with a pre-existing lien attached to the home (and possibly land). With that said I will do my best to answer your questions below. Please see my thoughts below in bold.

How do you proceed with a lien that large? The good news is that you will absolutely be able to sell this home if your buyers do have the cash available and are approved at the mobile home community. I am assuming that this home is in a mobile home community. If the home is attached to private land then there is likely no pre-qualifications needed in order for this buyer to own this property. All that I’ve read has said pay it off first but in this situation, she’d not be able to do that without the cash from the buyer? Understood. You will want to utilize the help of a local real estate attorney. This attorney will be the trusted intermediary between yourself and the buyers. They will use the buyers money to pay off the loan and then receive clear title. From this point you in the buyers will close on the property, you will get any equity you have coming to you in the new buyers will receive ownership of a clear title. I hope this helps and makes sense. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time. Additionally, what state is your mother’s home in?

Hi Melissa,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting with regards to your questions. Your 1997 home certainly does not sound that old at all. If it was taken care of than I have no doubt it is in fairly good condition for sure. It is much easier to move a single wide mobile home than a double wide mobile home so ideally your home is a large single wide. Either way when you sell a mobile home that “must be moved” you’ll be selling to a smaller number of buyers in the market. The folks that are looking to purchase these homes have their own small pieces of land, our investors, our mobile home dealers, brokers, or perhaps other mobile home parks. The price of your mobile home is essentially “as much as someone will pay for it”. The reason I mention this is because you can likely wait 12 months and receive a higher-priced offer than if you are only able to wait for the next two or three months until the summer finishes.

This two steps with regards to selling your home besides knowing what the correct paperwork is in the closing process, is to figure out an attractive sales price and then market the home to everyone in your area. Coming up with a purchase price you will need to find out what other mobile homes are for sale for in or around the area. Look for comparable homes inside mobile home parks and then subtract the cost of moving a mobile home and transporting it. Your buyers will have to pay this so you have to take this off of your asking price of the home. Transporting a mobile home can cost anywhere from $2000-$6000 for a single wide and $5000-$12,000 for a double wide depending on your area and add-ons to the mobile home.

Next you want to make sure that you are advertising and marketing as much as possible. There are buyers out there actively looking right now so make sure to market and advertise your property online, off-line, and even hanging small yard signs around the area advertising “inexpensive mobile home for sale”. There will not likely be too many buyers so aim to make a deal when possible. Make sure to also reach out to local brokers and mobile home parks to see if they are interested in acquiring a gently used mobile home for an affordable price. I hope this all helps and begins to point you in the right direction. If/when you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out anytime. Have a great week. Keep in touch.

Hi Summer,

Thank you for reaching out with regards to your questions. Additionally, thank you for your detailed questions as this does make it easier for me to help. I regret to hear that you are having the situation with the buyer. I am curious as to the selling price you sold the home for? If it is only a few hundred dollars then perhaps having someone pull away the mobile home for free and junking it may be the best and quickest decision. You may then give the few hundred dollars back to the buyer if they demand this. However, if you sold the home for more than a few hundred dollars then it is likely best to move the mobile home yourself to a different piece of your land. If/when the buyer comes to pick up the mobile home you will have to let them know that there is an extra fee charged for moving the home that you had to pay. This would typically be the fairest for all parties. With that said the buyer is certainly dragging their feet and not respecting you or your time at all. Many people less honorable than you would’ve already resold the home to somebody else that could have moved it off of their land by now. The title is still in your name and therefore still your property to do with it as you wish. Do let the buyer know if you plan to move the home or sell it to someone else as this may light a fire under their butts to move a little quicker. However they are certainly letting you know how interested they are by not responding back to you quickly or having the home moved thus far. In short, move the home to a separate section of your land if possible. With that said, if anyone wants to purchase the home from you and move it off your land in the next 72 hours that is a good idea as well as the title is still in your name. I hope this all helps and makes sense. I’m certainly not a real estate attorney however I do hope the above advice has been helpful to you. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time. Keep in touch.

Hi Jean,

Thank you so much for reaching out and connecting. Coincidentally I just spoke with a mobile home seller in a 55+ community in Phoenix last week. The seller started selling their gorgeous 2002 mobile home for $22,000. They are now desperate to sell six months later and are only asking $5000. The sellers are still confused as to why they are not selling their beautiful home and why there is little to no interest. I regret very much to be mentioning this to you however it is important to know the reality of the situation. Your mobile home is likely beautiful and the park may have a number of amenities for the residents to enjoy, however because this is in a 55+ community this eliminates many of the buyers who would be interested in your property (versus your home being in an all-ages community). Additionally, the Canadian dollar has dropped a bit making the interest from northern buyers slower than most years and in addition there are a bit more homes for sale in the market because of the Canadian buyers trying to sell their properties.

With all of this said, your results could absolutely be very different. Make sure you are marketing the home as much as possible. Make sure you have advertisements online@sitessuchasCraigslist.com, MHVillage.com, and Sellfastbyowner.com. In addition make sure your property is for sale in the newspaper and even local yard signs around the neighborhood pointing to your property for sale. If the park and help sell the home as well that would be promising as long as you do not have to sign an exclusive agreement letting the park sell your property. I hope this begins to help and starts to point you in the right direction. You should absolutely have follow-up questions and concerns moving forward so never hesitate to reach out to write back anytime. Keep in touch. Always here to help. All the best.

Hi Melissa,

Thank you so much for reaching out with regards to your questions. Congratulations on the coming wedding! It sounds as if you are looking to just get out from under the mortgage and not necessarily make any profit on the home itself. I’m a little confused when you said “the owner would be willing to buy the mobile home but he wouldn’t give me the amount I would need to pay it off.” Are you purchasing this home directly from a seller that is owner financing it to you? Will the seller be the one who is purchasing the home from you or or simply forgiving the amount you still owe? Is this financed through a single person or a bank? Let me know the thoughts to the questions above and I’ll be happy to let you know as much as I can to help. Additionally, if you have any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time. Keep in touch.

Hi Craig,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Congratulations on finding a buyer for your home. If there is an underlying lien on the mobile home because of a loan you took out to buy the property this will have to be paid off so a free and clear title can be sent to you, so that you may then sell it to your new buyer. However if there is no existing lien then you likely hold onto the title currently free and clear. When applying for a mobile home loan the buyer will have to be approved by the bank as well as the mobile home itself. Depending on the age and size of your home and foundation of the property will all determine how easily it is to be bank financed. Your next step is to contact a local lender or credit union your buyer prefers, if they have one that they prefer. Definitely do not beat around the bush when helping the seller arranged this loan. Be in contact with the broker as well in case they have questions about the home or need anything else done to expedite the loan process. The loan process will typically take 30 days give or take so this will be a close sale for sure. Moving forward you’ll definitely have follow-up questions and concerns. Please let me know any questions you have moving forward and I will be happy to help if I can. Keep in touch.

Hi Fabian,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thank you for the detailed message is the certainly helps me answer your question. If I am understanding correctly then your father does have possession of the title however is currently titled in the wrong name or somebody else’s name? If this is the case then it will depend if the mobile home title needs to be physically notarized for the signature of the seller or buyer. Depending on the year the title was issued this will vary. Check your title or call the DMV to see if a notary is needed on your title. If a notary is not needed then your father consign as seller to a happy buyer that is willing to pay your price. I hope this helps and make sense. With that said I may not have understood the question. As always, if you ever have any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time.

Hi Robin,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Thank you for the description of your mobile home. However even with that good description the price and demand you can get for your mobile home will definitely very. Let’s assume that you live in an area with a decent size population. Your mobile home is fairly newer and hopefully in very decent shape. Plus it is a three bedroom which is what most people are looking for. If you are going to sell the home to a buyer that is going to pay you all-cash then you will be competing with every other seller in your market. You must have your home price competitively and prettier than the competitions. You should also advertise the mobile home online and off-line as many ways as possible to get as many eyes on your advertisement from serious buyers as you can. However if you are looking to sell the mobile home with payments, this will open up many more buyers that have a good down payment and will pay you monthly payments for the purchase price of the mobile home. You can likely sell the mobile home for a higher price by collecting payments. In some areas this may be needed due to the lack of cash buyers in the area or time of year. With regards to the price, I do not want to be a wet blanket or misguide you in any way. I would like you to get as much as you can for your property however it is important to “listen to the market”. Drive around and find out what other comparable/similar mobile homes are being advertised for in the same park and nearby communities. Walk through some of these homes to see how your mobile home compares because that is exactly what your buyers are going to be doing. I hope this helps and starts to point you in the right direction. As always, if you ever have any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time. All the best.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Please see my thoughts below in bold.

We live in Florida in Panama City Beach Area. Unfortunately Ive been diagnosed with a life limiting illness, and my Wife and child will need to be in town. I very much regret to hear about the situation. I have no idea what you must be going through. In 1999 We purchased a new 1999 Homes of Merit wind zone 3 2 br 2 bath mobile home. It is relatively small 28×48 I believe. I certainly have seen a number of these types of homes. They are a fairly small double wide, however still definitely very nice. We probably over-paid for the home at the time, but we were desperate to have a home as newly weds. In any event we are currently moved into a apartment in town, as i will need to be closer for hospice services. We own the property the home sits on and own the home with a clear title. We need to sell it as Id like to leave some small amount for couple bucket list things and to help with my son’seducation. Needless to say time is of the essence. But we cannot give the home away. It will have to be moved and we realize this can be expensive. If there is any way the home and land can be sold together this may even qualify for FHA financing through a bank. Additionally, it would certainly be easier to sell in my opinion if the land was included as this would attract a higher number of buyers. However if it must be move that is understandable as well, however it will obviously limit the amount of serious buyers to folks who have land that are ready for a mobile home, possibly other mobile home parks nearby, possibly local dealers nearby, or even local movers that are also investors. It is in better than fair shape but has some minor mostly cosmetic issues-siding needs cleaning has some cracks and holes in skirting, settling has caused the laminate in the kitchen to pull away from trim, and one window leaked around the seal as there as no gutters. But over all the home is well built with plywood floors and 2×6’s I believe. It was higher end home in terms of price and construction. The A/c unit is a newer one from the original as it was replaced about 5 years ago. Given my health I canno make even the minor repairs that it needs and this will mean cash buyers-which what we will have to have, will try tp use that as leverage to drastically discount the home. Ive seen comparable homes going for 26k or so used but knowing it will have to be moved needing a cash buyer, and needing minor repair we know it cant be sold for that. Im hoping to get around 18k to give the wife and child a small padding for the inevitable situation on the horizon. I would consider a little less. First , is this outrageous pricing and second, dealing with “internet cash for homes buyers” what is there ceiling on cash purchases they must move. I have little doubt that the home does not look very nice and quite modern. However when a home has to be moved the amount of buyers certainly is reduced in most areas around the country. I am not working with any local investors in the Florida Panhandle I would certainly send them your way. I would encourage you to attack this on all fronts by listing the property for sale online for folks that may want to move it, and also reaching out to nearby mobile home parks and dealers that may be interested in purchasing the home from you or selling it on consignment. With regards to your price, if the home was already in a pre-existing park than that price would be a bit low in my opinion. However because the home has to be moved the price truly is “what a cash buyer will pay for”, which in my experience I do not believe would be $18,000. However I certainly have been wrong before and hope I am wrong in this case as well. To be honest I don’t have the strength to haggle and fight with prospective buyers would like to set the price at a the highest amount it will sell for. reasonably fast. Due to the situation described above we have already moved into town into a apt, but have left the power on at the location so as to keep the ac running and ceiling fans on albeit turned up -fl heat with no ac will cause mold in the home fast if left in 100 degree heat for months …any advice would be appreciated. I hope my thoughts above help and make some sense moving forward. As always please never hesitate to reach out any time with any follow-up questions or concerns. Always happy to help if I can. My prayers are with you and your family. Keep in touch.

Hi Frank,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. I apologize about the delay in this message reply. I’m curious if you have gone to court or if anything is changed since you wrote this message. While this obviously is not ideal it is best for you to give the money back to Dean in order to keep your reputation healthy. The mistake was 100% yours with regards to not doing proper due diligence before purchasing the home from the woman who sold it to you. In reality she was taking advantage of you and she absolutely did omit truths so that you would purchase the home. It is also wise to talk with the park manager before purchasing any home in a park to verify lot rent is current, there are no liens, and taxes are paid. With all this said, do not beat yourself up. This is definitely a few valuable lessons that you will learn early in your career. Don’t trust anyone and protect your reputation. Make sure you always do proper due diligence yourself before purchasing any homes. Never purchase anything with confusion. Always reach out for help and to get your questions answered. I hope this all helps and make sense. As always, if you ever have any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time. Great job pulling the trigger being so young! Keep up the great work.

Hi Emily,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. This will most likely be a local “real estate appraiser” in your local area. You may want to Google search for an appraiser that has mobile home or manufactured home experience. If you are unsure who is mobile home experienced definitely call up many local appraisers in town to asked the question of who has “mobile home experience”. If one appraiser does not perhaps they can give you a referral to appraiser that does have experience. While an appraiser will tell you the value, and inspector will be able to tell you for damages that may need to be repaired. You will want to reach out to some local inspectors as well that have “mobile home experience” and who are affordable. I hope this helps and answers your question.

Hello Victoria,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thank you for your detailed message is the certainly does help me answer your question. First things first, it sounds like your property is in decent shape and hopefully it is a three bedroom. It also sounds like you are not super motivated to sell, this is ideal and hopefully you have a few months before you have to be out of the property. It is important to advertise and market your property and as many ways as you can think of online and off-line. Make sure there is a big sign in the window as well. If you will be looking to sell to an all-cash buyer than you will be competing against every other seller in your local market. You need to make sure that your home looks very decent and is priced a bit lower than the competitions. Drive through your current park or neighborhood, and all the parks and neighborhoods within a 5 mile radius of you. Try to understand what other mobile homes are going for as this is going to be what other buyers you talk to are seeing and hearing as well. Keep in mind that when you have a serious buyer to be a bit flexible in your price, however the next step is for them to go get approved at the park. I hope this all helps and starts to point you in the right direction. As always, if you ever have any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time.

Hi Barbara,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Very good question. This absolutely happens from time to time as some movers will remove the tongue or some mobile home parks will demand that the tongue is removed after it is set up in its current location. Some mobile home tongues may be bolted on, and others need to be welded on. With that said most movers that move mobile homes will have extra tongues, welding equipment, axles, tires, etc. for situations like this. I hope this helps and answers your question. In short the movers will weld on or bolt on a temporary tongue if the home ever has to be moved. Keep in touch. All the best.

Hi Devonia,

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. I very much regret to hear about the situation you are in and the fact that the previous owners omitted the information with regards to the wavy and warped floor. Water can be the enemy of a mobile home and perhaps a pipe burst or leaks were present to cause the floor to become wet, soft, and wavy in the past. It certainly sounds as if the people who sold the home to may have tried to Band-Aid the situation or fix it incorrectly. Clearly you did not see or feel this issue before you purchase the home, however now the issue is back. In my experience you will not have much legal recourse to get your money back or receive compensation if you purchase this from a private seller inside of a park. If you purchases directly from a mobile home park or local dealer there may be more compensation available is this person or company has a bit more to lose with their reputation and license. Every state has a manufactured housing division that accepts complaints and answers questions for the public. I would encourage you to contact this office in your state and asked them if you may make a complaint in the potential steps moving forward. If you let me know your state I be happy to forward to over some contact information and go from there. Depending on what they say you may want to contact a local real estate attorney or other parties depending on how much you feel you are being taken advantage of. Again, in my experience there is not much recourse if you have already done the deal. With that said I do encourage you to try especially if these sellers purposefully omitted valuable information and may continue to do this other people with future homes down the road. I hope this helps and starts to point you in the right direction. As always, if you ever have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out anytime.

Hi Karen and Greg,

Thank you so much for reaching out and connecting. I do know of some investors in and around this area actively investing in mobile homes and would be happy to forward along your information if possible. First things first, please send me a personal email at support@mobilehomeinvesting.net with some pictures and a description and asking price of your property. With your permission I will forward this information over to one or two local investors in the area. With that said these folks may be interested in can certainly give you a call and discuss things further. Because it is a double wide it may be costly and expensive to move the home so I would advise against this if at all possible. With that said definitely do not simply wait around for these investors to call you and potentially make an offer. Definitely continue advertising your mobile home for sale online and off-line in as many websites and newspapers as possible to get the word out about your property for sale. I would encourage you to lower the price to a minimum in order to attract more people interested in the property seeing as the lot rent is a good bit every month. Please feel free to reach out and we can certainly go from there. All the best.
