(Note: I think it’s important to know the terminology and words used when learning any new business including mobile home investing. I came up with ‘Terminology Tuesday’ as a way to go over the terminology used in the mobile home business. It’s important to know the terminology when talking to people in the business so you’re all on the same page).

**** Tricks of the Trade is a new series I have started that will be included with “Terminology Tuesday” posts. The goal of this series is to share with you the “tricks of the trade” I have learned in the mobile home business.

If you’ve been in the mobile home investing business as long as I have, you’ve probably run into this problem:

How Does Mobile Home Skirting Get Damaged?

One word: weed-wacker.

You see, it’s very easy to “snip” the skirting when cutting the grass near your mobile home. It’s a very close shave (so to speak). The solution?

Well, there are a couple of them. First, you can always get new skirting…which can be costly. Or, you can always try to cover up the holes. Here’s what I’ve found other homeowners do:

Enter Skirt-Guard

Though, I’ve found a new product on the market designed to combat this problem: skirt-guard.

Here’s a video explaining what it does:

So there you have it. If you ever have an issue with your skirting getting holes, you don’t always have to replace it. Now you have options. You may want to give skirt-guard a try.

I hope this  “Terminology Tuesday” post has been helpful and has given you some useful information – it definitely has for me.

Happy Investing!
