Done Deal: 3/2 Singlewide Mobile Home In a Park

Posted on December 2, 2011 by mobilehomegurl Leave a comment
(Note: Since I’ve received a lot of requests for more case studies, I thought I’d make a post on another one. Enjoy!) For this deal, the sellers had actually found me via word of mouth. The good thing was this home was in pretty good condition, just a few cosmetic issues. However, the bad thing was this home was in the wrong park - the same exact park as my $2000 Nightmare. So, what to do? Going in, I already knew my exit strategy. Should the home be in good condition and we are able Read more [...]

(Note: I've decided to start this new series, "Mobile Home 101" to highlight some of the important aspects of mobile homes in general). Hi all! It's been pretty crazy lately.

Posted on September 22, 2011 by mobilehomegurl 4 Comments
(Note: Since I’ve received a lot of requests for more case studies, I thought I’d make a post on another one. Enjoy!) The sellers had actually found me on this one via a friend. When I first talked with them, the sellers told me the home had been vacant for over 6 months.

As it turns out, the home Read more [...]
