I have a CASH buyer who wants me to find her a DW park home. What is the best way to do the deal so she can buy it right after I close on it. I would rather she didn’t know what I paid for it. The home I am looking at is vacant listed w/a local agent and I was thinking I would just use her cash to pay so I don’t have to hassle with my HELOC. What is the best way to make this happen?

Sounds like your talking about a home in a park and not attached to land.
If so one easy way is to find a home and get it under an option agreement. Basically you find a home and agree to a price and put down X amount for a deposit. You then have a set amount of time that you and the seller have agreed upon for you to find a buyer. If that seller finds someone else to buy their home then your deposit and option are out the window. Its a nice way to “tie” down a property, at your price, and the worst is your out a hundred bucks. Plus they are still paying lot rent, utilities, etc. even though you have technically bought it.
Also I would just pay for it with your HELOC and then use your buyer’s funds to pay it off. It might make it a cleaner transaction.
