Hi Flip,
First, I’d recommend you get the deed and NOT buy on a lease/option. If your seller is motivated, they’ll sign the deed transferring ownership to you.
Then just sell to your buyer with an Agreement for Deed or Land Contract, which is a purchase so your buyer is the ownert. The deal is you don’t transfer title until your buyer pays you off in full…especially in a MH park where you’ll probably get very little money down.
Thank you for the advise! ! !
That makes sense - I’ll meet with the owner this afternoon, and now I know how to approach.
Thanks! !
There is no deed with a MH in a park. There is title which is usually run thru your local DMV. Its considered private property much like a boat, ATV, plane, car, etc. Buy the home for cash if possible and make sure they have a clean title. Then after you make repairs, etc. then owner finance to an end buyer on a promissary note. Look up Lonnie Scruggs on google and you will find out all you need to know. I’ve done a handful of these deals all from a 30 dollar book and that’s not guru talk

Sell 1 % to the people who are going to live there.
Thanks Johnny,
1% makes them an owner – Thanks for the advise!
At the same time that you execute the 1% transfer, also make sure that you get a pre-signed transfer getting it back when they leave!
Otherwise, your title will have a cloud that you may not be able to remove if/when you sell!
Thanks!
I am so glad you have mentioned the pre-signed transfer to get title back.
So far I have two interested parties for this home - I am excited - its my first mobile!
Thanks Guys for all your help!
do mobile homes sale fast? and if yes,

It all depends…location.location. location
The short answer is yes yes yes and yes. Do they make a good investment? A really short question deserves a short answer…yes yes yes and yes.
