Hey guys always remember this number one rule as is exactly as it's advertised as is. If someone does not have the vision to take a home and make it their own with their own ideals nobody else can do that for them it's their vision. I took a two-bedroom mobile home 38 years ago my husband from California from the rich family of course he lived out of his means when we first married. We had seven kids and we needed a home nobody would rent to us I saw the potential in that two bedroom mobile home. In a few years it become a five bedroom three two bath. It takes a little time one project at a time. And showing a home like this free is free as is of course always get your fee finders fee and reimbursement of what you have put into it to save it. I wish you guys lots and lots of luck you're on the right track buying a home nowadays is very expensive. Everybody deserves a place to live
Very good to hear from you. Congratulations with regards to your large family! Family is #1. I come from a small family myself and would love to have more family members closer to me. You are certainly right about folks deserving a place to live. Thank you so much for the very kind words. Keep in touch moving forward please.
You somehow managed to solve a problem for me with this video. My boyfriend's father's mobile home is in severe disrepair and several of the walls would not pass your shake test. My boyfriend and I have absolutely NO experience in DIY, but we have to try to repair this home for his dad. Between you and another RU-vidr who works with frame houses, I have now learned how to fix rotted floor joists and what to do about shaky mobile home walls. So, thank you. I'm almost getting excited to tackle this black mold-infested, holey, crumbly mobile now.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Very glad to hear this video was helpful. Even more importantly, glad you're going to be able to now fix your boyfriends fathers mobile home and give it the love it deserves. Feel free to keep in touch moving forward if you have any follow-up mobile home related questions.
@That One, I don't know if you have found Drew's roof repairs RU-vid channel, but he has lot's of info showing floor and wall repairs also. Many people are tackling mobile home repairs instead of trashing them. Just be careful who you watch, there is some horrible work out there too!😇🥰
Hey Paul! Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you like the video. Hopefully you are entertained and learned at least one new thing. Great comments about starting a great relationship with a potential manager. Keep up the great work moving forward. Talk with you soon.
Thanks for watching. Good channel name! I took a few moments to go on Craigslist and definitely found mobile homes in the $40,000 or around the cheapest in my general area. There are certainly some methods of advertising and marketing that will produce better results than others in most markets. However it is wise to have multiple ways to find and attract sellers rather than just one or two. We ideally want to find and attract sellers prior to them listing online if possible. This is definitely easier said than done in most situations. We certainly do help some sellers with other types of situations, such as the home has to be moved, severe title problems, or serious repairs needed in the mobile homes as well. I would encourage you to use free and inexpensive ways to find and attract sellers rather than spending a lot of money on direct mail or expensive online ads. However there is definitely a time and place for more pricier and targeted advertising. While this definitely is a vague answer I hope it helps and points you in the right direction. Lastly, this video was recorded in Texas outside of the DFW area. However in every state there are free and very affordable mobile homes within driving distance, however they certainly will not last. Sellers have more options these days and we need to be well known and act quickly when we have decent opportunities. Hope this helps and makes sense. Feel free to keep in touch moving forward. All the best.
Thanks for reaching out and connecting. You are definitely not wrong! Anyone that would want to live in the home or have their kids or pets in the property would likely want to replace the carpet/floor covering as well. However it depends on the exit strategy as to whether a mobile home investor would want to make this repair or not prior to selling the home. Whether replacing the carpet or not, removing all of the debris and feces and junk and everything else is important with regards to making the home more attractive to more and more potential buyers with cash. Thanks again for commenting. Moving forward never hesitate to reach out anytime with questions or follow-up comments. All the best. Keep in touch.
It’s sad to see the lack of pride of ownership. Still for free you can’t beat it. Any free homes in my area are so much worse and usually pre-HUD codes.
Hi Zane Sutherland. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. You're right about it being difficult to be the free price. However this home is far from free and reality. It has taken Casey time, energy, a bit of mental stress, and some money to get this home looking better and ready for resale. In some areas of the country, or even town to town, you may have to do a lot more work to get the home resold versus other areas. Keep in mind that even a "free" mobile home is not something that you always want to purchase. Again, just because the home is free does not mean we should always purchase it. I mention this not just for you but other folks reading these comments. If you have any specific questions or looking at a specific mobile home there are likely a few dozen moving pieces or more to consider. Feel free to comment below or email me directly at support@mobilehomeinvesting.net if you have any specific questions on a home that you are looking at ordeal you are working. Happy to help if possible. All the best.
Hi Overcomer38. Very good to hear from you! Besides having a plan and someone to ask questions to quickly, having ambition and dedication are two of the few traits absolutely needed in this business. Especially for your first few mobile homes. Keep up your determination and effort moving forward. Thanks for following along and watching as well.
Hi SIP. Great to hear from you both! Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Thanks for watching the video. With regards to an outcome… Casey is put around $4000 of repairs into the mobile home. Much of these have gone into cleaning out the home, wall repair, mold removal, and plumbing underneath the mobile home. He sold the home for approximately $10,000 to a quick buyer that is going to do the rest of the repairs and move into the home personally. Certainly not the biggest deal in the world but a quick doubling of the money is not bad. Thanks again for commenting. Any mobile home questions that you have never hesitate to reach out any time. Keep in touch. Keep up the daily effort and focus.
Good name! The struggle is definitely real. Thanks for the comment. This means a lot. In some of my earlier videos it feels like I am yelling at the camera or trying to try to convince you of something. Certainly takes a while to find your voice and attitude while making videos here on RU-vid. Thanks again for commenting. If you have a mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out any time. All the best.
@@MobileHomeFormula I've been following you about a month or so and everything I've heard so far, your personality is very inviting, and mad chill. Keep up the great work and you and I will meet in this industry one day✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Hey John! A couple of months ago I asked your opinion concerning mobile home investing and the possibility of the BBB bill making all buildings and remodeling to "Net Zero Standards " I came across a few websites that are building mobile home parks to meet that goal. The search terms were net zero trailers. This would be a great way to recycle those "free homes" into a net zero park. The community could have an organic garden plot and possibly small livestock. With this housing boom of Californians to Austin, it's something that could possibly sell just east of Austin. You need some land without restrictions.
Hi Cindy! Very good to hear from you again. Thank you so much for following up with regards to this. I will do a little bit of searching and go down that RU-vid rabbit hole to learn more about these types of homes and building standards. Thanks for keeping us posted.
House has a lot of potential we have gotten a Few Free house trailers / park model trailers are travel trailers you just have to be on the ball we've gotten some really nice decent shape places we had a 3 bedroom 2 bath put on 3 Acer's the others we fixed up and sold to families for a good deal we are getting a few in Phoenix Arizona
Thanks for watching. I can only imagine how much you learned on that particular deal. Moving forward if you have any mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out before you invest in something you are unsure about. Happy to help when possible. All the best.
Hi Virginia. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Thanks for watching the video. I do hope that it was somewhat helpful to you already. New update: Casey is put around $4000 of repairs into the mobile home. Much of these have gone into cleaning out the home, wall repair, mold removal, and plumbing underneath the mobile home. He sold the home for approximately $10,000 to a quick buyer that is going to do the rest of the repairs and move into the home personally. Personally I would love to see how the home turns out as well. That is a big joy of mine; I love returning and checking in on payment-buyers that I sell handyman special type mobile homes too. It is great to see the improvements in these homes, and the joy in the buyers eyes as they explain the really good improvements they have usually made and value they have added. Thanks again for commenting. Any mobile home questions that you have never hesitate to reach out any time.
@@MobileHomeFormula Heard he said that he was going to advertise. Where do you advertise other than craigslist? Def. thinking about getting your program. Someone is supposed to contact!
Hi John, your videos are very informative and inspiring. I am planning to enter the mobile home real estate market along with my wife. I am a full time IT project manager but my passion is to build a community for the poor who are old and disable who cannot afford expensive homes and trying to solve a real estate problem that our country is facing. I am in the process of buying some land at county tax sales. Could you pls let me know where to buy cheap mobile homes in Houston, TX within $2k? I really appreciate your channel!
Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Hope that this video was somewhat helpful to you already. I am sure there are very junkie mobile homes that you could purchase at some type of used mobile home dealership, however you would not want to do this. Unfortunately there is no dealership that I know of that frequently sells nice to thousand dollar mobile homes. I don't even believe dealerships sold this cheap of homes at any time in history. The truth is this business takes hard work and regular effort to attract sellers and find sellers that need our help quickly. Investors that I have on this channel bust there butts on a daily basis to find and attract these very good deals. You have a large metro area with a ton of mobile home parks and also mobile homes on private land. Is your job to let people know who you are and that you are able to help them. This is definitely a bit of a vague answer however I I hope that it does help and point you in the right direction. Talk to as many people and go to as many places as you can with mobile homes to find and attract these type of opportunities. Be ready to jump on them when possible. Additionally, great job with regards to purchasing these good land deals. Glad you're getting into those tax sales as well. Moving forward any mobile home related follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out anytime. All the best.
Based on the interior materials, especially the walls and single pane windows, along with the typical roof leaking above the windows, I would've guessed it was a late 70's model. 😳
Great comment! If the roof is original that you make help give the average person a clue to the age. On a single wide a pointed roof will indicate that the home is roughly 1982 or newer. However if the roof is curved, with no point to it, then it is usually in the 60s, 70s, or very early 80s. Hope this helps and makes sense. Feel free to keep in touch moving forward with any follow-up mobile home questions or comments. All the best.
Hi Guinevere pendragon. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Very cool name as well. I do hope that this video was helpful to you a bit already. For different situations we definitely make different repairs when needed. Over the years I have certainly seen my fair share of smoke damage, and various other damages for that matter. Sometimes the smoke damage is due to a fire, and sometimes it is simply due to years and years of cigarette smoke. Other times it may be due to other type of chemicals or smoke that can cause an even bigger problem than cigarettes. They absolutely do sell chemicals that will help remove the nicotine and tar if you would like to do so on cabinets and countertops and everything else that will not likely be painted. However depending on what type of primer/paint you use the instructions will say to go directly over paint and smoke residue. There are a few different brands however Kilz original may be a good one for you to look at. This is a really popular product that many investors will use to cover over heavy smoke smells, urine smells in plywood floors, and even mold on walls. However covering mold in this way is not a good idea in my opinion. Smoke smells may certainly be trapped under a layer of primer/paint, however when it comes to mold we almost always want to clean and remove any mold first before painting to cover. I hope that this helps and makes a bit of sense. In short, it truly depends on what product you are using and what repairs you are fixing with regards to the procedures and products you might want to use. If you have any specific questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out or comment back anytime. All the best.
Hi John... This video was awesome and informative. Especially for new investors such as myself. Please do more. I live in the Houston area. I have emailed you about this kind of deal just yesterday and then I saw this video. I have a few potential opportunities coming up after weeks of endless legwork. It's been a process but I am still excited about the possibilities. Although not one deal just yet. But I Ann connecting with residents in the park communities who hand given me leads in addition to park managers. This video for sure answered my questions about obtaining more cash flow in the beginning by doing a handyman special instead of renting to someone. Although my long term goal right now is rental income. One question I had was did he replace the skirting or just clean up around it?
Hi Kristen. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thank you for the kind words. You are in luck because I do plan on doing more. :-) I do hope that this video and others have been somewhat helpful to you already. Great job taking action in your local market with parks, sellers, and buyers. Keep in touch via email and any questions that you have I'm happy to help if possible. Keep up the great work and daily effort. With regards to your question, Casey did not replace the skirting but did straighten it up and clean around it prior to resale. Keep in touch moving forward. Any follow-up questions you have never hesitate to reach out anytime. Talk soon, John
Hi Bobby. You are so right. That is definitely a good question to ask before purchasing any mobile home inside of the park. However I would phrase the question in a way that lets the manager think you do not want to remove the home if possible. Most managers will not want you to remove the home in most situations. This will reduce the value of the park and reduce the revenue as well. However some parks have no problem with you removing the home, keep in mind that many of them will not stop you however you will burn a bridge from investing in the park in the future. Keep in touch moving forward. Any follow-up mobile home questions never hesitate to reach out anytime. All the best.
@@MobileHomeFormula Thank you for your reply. I didn't know this kind of information, how ever I did tell our Manager this was what we are going to do. Let me explain a little bit about why we are moving it. First, the manager has been raising our lot space for the last 5 or 6 yrs. We had no problem with Five or even a ten raise which is what started with, then the next yr comes and it's a 15 dollar raise so within a 2 yr it was a 25 dollar raise now both my husband are on a low fixed income, and he keeps raising the rent. it's now been raised up to 740 dollars, which when we moved in it was only 340 they pay the water sewer and trash, and now we just cant afford the lot rent. Just yesterday we got home found a note on our door that read, we now have to pay for water sewer and trash from now on. We had water problems from day one, and they said it was on us to pay oh I can go on about this so I wont bore you to death. I do have other questions to ask, but I'll ask tomorrow it's late. Have a good night, and a blessed day tomorrow. once again thank you for the information.
Hello Robyn. Thank you very much for reaching out and connecting. Moving forward if you have any mobile home related questions please never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Very nice guy chatted with him via email , maybe phone but his pprogram is expensive but from this video I can see the value. but 15 k i'm not sure about that.
Hi Hood Handyman. Good screen name. Keep in touch moving forward. My email is always on for you anytime. The folks I work with do certainly spend a good bit of time on the phone with me reviewing deals and more. However my email is on for you and others anytime whether you are a member of this mentoring/program or not. Happy to answer mobile home questions if possible. Not sure about the $15,000 price you're mentioning, that is a crazy amount. Getting started together is a total cost of less than $3000 upfront plus we partner on your first two deals. This price has not changed in at least seven years. I agree with you that $15,000 is a ton to pay for coaching. Over the years I have been fooled a number of times by flashy-salesy-coaches trying to sell real estate education programs claiming to be something special when they were really a lot of fluff with no follow-up. With that said, keep in touch moving forward. If you have any mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out. All the best. Talk soon, John
Just me probably, but I would bring the whole place back to normal, and do most of the labor. May a 5-6 thousand investment. Flooring, paint iside and out, electrical, plumbing, replacement windows, etc. Would check roof completely and make repairs as needed.
Hi Gregory Clark! Thanks for reaching out and connecting. I like your style! This would be an amazing rehab to see the home go from the current condition to then replacing most items. As you can see in the video the home definitely has pretty good size, however most things definitely have a lot of wear and tear on them. I like that you do not mind getting her hands dirty and like to improve things yourself. Keep up this desire and ambition moving forward. Moving forward if you have any mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out anytime. All the best. Talk soon, John
Hi Andrew. If you live in the mobile home then it sounds like it is already providing you good value. 1996 is definitely not that old at all. It sounds like it is not too late if you decide to sell it via a rent to own type of program. However make sure you thoroughly screen any buyers, receive a good down payment, use the correct paperwork, and make sure you are moving into another home that is a comfortable situation for you. Hope this helps and makes sense. Moving forward any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.
How often do you find a mobile home for FREE that doesn't have to be either moved, or completely rebuilt, or both? I lived in a mobile for more than 20 years. In a park that went from privately owned to a resident owned coop. If you have a good park and neighbors, it can be a good life. I had a big choice to make. I could put a lot of money into my MH to fix it up to livable or I could buy a new house. I thought about replacing my MH in the park but would still be in the park. If I was going to move, I wanted it to be onto my own land anyway. My MH was in terrible condition infested with mice and I still got 10K for it. My buyer could build a new home under the metal roof I had just put on.
Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Great job selling your mobile home for $10,000 even though it needs so much work. You were able to get that price because somebody was willing to pay that price. You were also wise enough and had the time to put the home on the market. We are picking up mobile homes for $0 in rural areas as well as in hotspot metro markets even in California and Arizona. However I do not like to say free as usually the homes do need some rehabs or the people are behind on payment significantly. On average we are usually purchasing every one in 10 homes for a zero price. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this topic. However if you have any follow up or specific questions never hesitate to reach out any time. Great job again selling your home and I hope you find another place to live that you love and the neighbors are friendly.
Hi Ches. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. If possible, please send over some pictures of the property to support@mobilehomeinvesting.net. I do know one or two serious mobile home investors in the area that may be interested in having the property removed... At least I assume that it has to be removed. Either way feel free to reach out and keep in touch. You can also put this one online and it should go pretty quickly if it is free and in halfway decent shape. Keep in touch moving forward if you have any follow-up questions.
Past a certain age would a free trailer be too much to fix? I got a bead on a trailer from 67'. If anything I want to get a sense of what to do with a handyman special.
Hi Kyle. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Age definitely has something to do with it for sure. If you fix up a 1967 mobile home completely you will not be able to sell it for anywhere close you would be able to sell something from the early 2000's. However depending on the neighborhood, location, and demand you should not fix the home up completely, but rather sell it needing some repairs and disclosing everything you know about it to a new buyer. Perhaps an all cash buyer or perhaps a monthly payment buyer. However to answer your question, yes there are certain repairs or deal breakers that would make almost any free home a potential pass. However when dealing with homes prior to 1976 the ability to move them to other locations is much more difficult. There definitely is a lot that we could talk about when it comes to this topic however I hope that this helps and makes some sense. Moving forward any follow-up mobile home related questions please never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Hi Ryan, Very good to hear from you. Very good question. The real answer is, little to no money. However the more realistic answer is that having a few thousand dollars available will help speed up your process and give you the ability to help many more folks. However even a few thousand dollars can be spent very very very quickly. All of your money needs to be used very very cautiously and strategically. Additionally, in the beginning you'll probably be selling more mobile homes for cash or wholesaling them in order to raise more capital to reinvest into more mobile homes long-term. I've made a video with regards to how much capital may be needed. Feel free to check it out here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rSxFd6OKDTo.html Hope this helps and answers the question.

Is it possible to get a Grant to for a new mobile home? How do you do that? The question is how do you get a mobile home for free? Is it possible? Thank you for sharing 😊
Hi Tammy. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. That is a very good question about receiving a grant of some kind for a new mobile home. I would definitely encourage you to search Google for grants in your state that you may qualify for. With regards to finding and negotiating a free mobile home you'll need to talk to a good deal of mobile home park managers and mobile home sellers. You talk to a few hundred managers will most likely find a free mobile home in need of some or a tremendous amount of work. I hope this helps and points you in the right direction. Feel free to keep in touch with Ford. All the best.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I would encourage you to take a wide approach. Aim to speak with many of your local and not so local park managers to see if they want any homes that may need repairs or require some TLC. These homes may not be free however they will likely be at a discount. Keep in mind you'll still of course have to get approved by the park in order to live there in most situations. This is deftly a very short answer so if you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out to me anytime.
So how would you go about a deal like this with the intention of moving it to your own land? In this scenario, you are basically putting another tenant in the home making the park owner more money without them having to deal with it. How would you go about finding a free trailer minus back lot rent and taxes with the intention of moving it? I am asking because we have land, no trailer and stuck renting. We would love a nice little fixer upper like this
Thanks for reaching out and connecting. In most areas of the country you should be able to go on Facebook marketplace and find a decent number of mobile homes that "must be moved". Those homes may certainly be moved to your land, depending on a number of factors. However if you are looking for freer types of mobile homes, then it may be good for them to find you. I would encourage you to reach out to local parks to see if they are getting ready of any eyesore mobile homes that they do not want to the community anymore. Many parks are getting rid of their homes from the 70s or 80s or 90s and getting brand-new homes. Sometimes parks want even newer mobile homes are moved because they only want brand-new properties in the community. However if the park managers do not know you, then they will not tell you about these opportunities. Hope this helps and starts to point you in the right direction. Keep in touch. All the best.
Thank you for reaching out and connecting. That is awful and disgusting to hear about your rent going up double per year. Some park owners do not care about the residents and only look at them as a $. Plus, if the park keeps reselling in the new buyers are forced to raise the price if they overpaid to purchase the park in the first place. Mobile homes are definitely mobile, however if they have a lot of additions or were built before 1976, or have a broken frame, or are locked into a space due to trees or a building that cannot be moved, than the mobile home may be very very difficult to remove. You may call a few mobile home movers and send them pictures of your home to ask if they would be able to move it and give you a price to move the home within a 30 mile radius. I do not know specifically of a park in San Diego that will take used homes. Most of the parks I am familiar with one brand-new manufactured homes only inside of the community. In many areas mobile homes are not that affordable anymore. I'm sorry to hear that you are going through the situation in the first place. I'm sure this is not the answer you are looking for however I hope it helps and points you in the right direction. Any follow-up questions please never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Hi there! You certainly are in a pricier part of the country. With that said there still are good opportunities however you will need to hunt for them and be ready to move quickly. Aim to speak with all the local park managers to see what opportunities they have or park on homes that may need some TLC. Hope this helps and points you in the right direction. Understood about the roommates as well. Rents are only going up. Plus, some landlords definitely feel the need to raise them much higher than others. Hope you find something soon. All the best.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Good question, I'm glad that you asked it. We actually said free-99. (I'm not sure if that is something people say anymore.) Mobile home that we are walking through in this video was zero dollars. However there was some back due lot rent that was a few hundred dollars. The seller realized the home needed a good deal of repairs, the park does not want it, and the seller was not living there and did not want to pay lot rent ever again. These were part of the reasons that we were able to purchase it for zero dollars. I hope this helps and makes sense. Any follow-up questions that you have never hesitate to reach out anytime.
@@MobileHomeFormulaQuestion? If you don't mind me asking, How much was the back due lot rent in total for the property that was free? Thank you for your clear response to $399 lol Free 99. My apologies, I did not hear it clearly the first time I saw the video. That's a pretty good deal! Repairing on the other hand I have no knowledge about. I guess a handy person can make great money with this system with mobile homes. Sounds great!
Querrá llamar a todos los administradores de parques locales localmente y más lejos para ver qué tipo de casas móviles de mantenimiento tienen a la venta. Espero que esto te ayude.
Good to hear from you. Thanks for commenting. I am reading between the lines and sensing that what you are really saying is that the home seems pretty junkie as it is in the video. Since it is in a place with limited supply and a strong demand is definitely worth fixing up the home where needed. Keep in touch. Let me know if I'm right with regards to your initial comment.
Hi Demetrius. Thanks for reaching out and connecting here.

Hi Shirley. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Free mobile homes can be found all over the country. In every state you can find the occasional advertisement for a free mobile home. However if someone is advertising for a free mobile home is likely valued at even less than free. This means that in most situations free home will not be worth your trouble to live in or invest in. Perhaps it is to destroyed, not habitable, must be moved, or some other reason that would kill the deal. I mention this because you can and should look online for free mobile home opportunities. However almost everything online will be snatched up very quickly if it is advertised at a low price. You may also want to reach out to every local, and not so vocal, mobile home community manager to find out if they have anything that is very inexpensively priced may need a good deal of rehab. Since you are in a desperate need of a place to live I would encourage you to reach out to some type of apartment rental service that could help connect you with an apartment or place to live within your budget. This is probably not the answer you are looking for however I hope it helps and points you in the right direction. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out any time.
Hi Christina. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Over the past 10 years I have been helping mobile home investors find mobile home opportunities and deals all around the country. However I do not typically help homeowners find a home they are looking for in other states. I will help local homeowners go into one of my local properties, however I do not think this is exactly what you are looking for. I would very much encourage you to contact a local mobile home dealer or realtor in the area. These folks will be able to point you in the right direction and let you know what is for sale and where to find local mobile homes that people are looking to get rid of. While you will be paying retail prices using this method will provide you with an easy source of homes for sale. I hope that this helps and points you in the right direction. If you have any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out anytime. All the best.
Hi Stephen. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Hope this video is somewhat helpful to you. The home in this video is a singlewide. From my memory I believe almost all of the mobile homes in the specific Park were all singlewides. Moving forward I will absolutely start to include any finished photos if they are available for the video. I think this would make a nice addition people can see the before and after photos. Thanks for suggesting this. Moving forward any mobile home specific questions you have never hesitate to reach out any time. Happy to help if possible. All the best.
Hello I see where it says free mobile homes still exist if this is possible I would love to get one of those mobile homes to buy if there are some for free in Cleveland Ohio could you please let me know as soon as possible and how much would it be thank you and have a very blessed day
Hi Cookie! Thanks for reaching out and connecting. You definitely are in a decent area for this type of investing. There are hundreds of mobile home parks within a 40 or 50 mile radius of you. I am unsure if you are looking to purchase this to live in or for an investment. Any free or discounted mobile homes will be sent to the folks I am working with already in your area. However I am absolutely sure that you are able to find good deals as well. Aim to reach out to all of the local park managers that you can find. Let them know what you are looking for and your goals. I hope this helps and points you in the right direction. Any specific mobile home related questions moving forward never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Hi Bankroll. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. At the moment I do not offer any type of payment program for this mentoring/course. This is something that I experimented with many years ago. I realize the people were not as invested and would get to a certain point before lining up a deal and not pulling the trigger for one reason or another moving forward. Additionally, I figure that if someone needs a payment plan for the program they should probably continue saving to invest in mobile homes themselves. You do not need much money to invest in mobile homes, however it is ideal to have at least a few thousand dollars saved to begin helping local mobile home sellers and home parks and other investors. However do feel free to keep in touch. When you ever have any mobile home related questions now moving forward never hesitate to reach out any time. Happy to help answer some questions for you whether you are a member of this mentoring/program or not. All the best. Keep in touch.
Thank you for reaching out and connecting. This mobile home has already been sold some time ago. However there are still good opportunities out there for you to find, and for them to find you if they know where to find you. If you are looking for a free mobile home as a mobile home investor than I would encourage you to do a number of things, including getting with almost all of the local park managers to see what is going on and what they have available and coming up soon or folks behind on payments. However if you are looking to get into a free home that you would like to also live inside of, you may to reach out to local charities as well as local parks to ask them what type of park owned homes or handyman specials they may have available for you to purchase. I hope this helps some and points you in the right direction. Any follow-up mobile home questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Thanks for reaching out and commenting. This one was not a complete tear down. Simply fixing a number of issues inside and outside of the home before being resold. However you are definitely right, there is no such thing as free. Moving forward if you have any follow-up mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Hi Cynthia. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Yes, however any homes we have for sale are typically advertised well online including Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. For this reason I would definitely encourage you to check out Facebook marketplace daily and be on the lookout for single lights for sale. This would be my suggestion if you plan on living in the home yourself. If you are an investor then it may be wise to advertise proactively and reactively so people can find you and know who you are and what services you offer. I hope this helps some and make sense. Moving forward any follow-up questions you have never hesitate to reach out any time.
Thanks for commenting and reaching out. Your comment made me laugh, then I thought for a bit at all of the parks, various towns, and mobile homes that definitely do fit the profile of looking like high meth areas or straight up meth labs. That really is a terrible and crazy problem across the nation, across the world likely. As an investor I would cautious everyone to stay away from a mobile home that they know was a meth lab. These are dangerous and definitely need to be dealt with in a special way with regards to cleaning up the home and selling the property. Again, if someone knows the home was a meth lab they should not purchase it in my opinion. Sometimes this is obvious with certain smells or chemicals or simply talking to park managers or neighbors. However sometimes it is not noticeable and homes we invest in may have been used for drugs or cooking meth however we are unaware of this since time has gone by. Anyway, that was probably way you are looking for however definitely is a good and realistic thing to discuss. Thanks again for commenting. Any follow mobile home questions never hesitate to reach out any time.
I am a Resident in a Long Term Care Facility and it IS NOT SAFE in These Facilities… I Have been looking at RV and Mobile Homes to live in since 2017 and I can… Let me know how a person whose Income is Social Security Benefits can acquire a Mobile Home!
Thank you so much for reaching out and connecting. I'm so sorry to hear about the situation that you are in. It is awful to think of folks being taken advantage of throughout their life, not to mention folks that are particularly vulnerable due to their age or health reasons. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Any mobile home or RV specific questions you have please never hesitate to reach out anytime. Happy to help when possible.
@@MobileHomeFormula I would like to chronicle and video the transition in case others may want to do the same… We need to maximize our options at our age to get as much out of life as we can before times up… I don’t need a lot… Just Mine with some Peace & Quiet!😊🌹
Hi Estella Daniles. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. It sounds like you may be looking for a mobile home to live in for you and your family. If this is the case that I would encourage you to go one of two separate ways. Either you want to speak with the local realtor, broker, or new mobile home dealer in the area that can sell you something for a retail price. The benefit here is you can choose where you want to be if you are able to get the financing or purchase the home outright. If you are looking for a free mobile home, or a mobile home that is a really good value, I would encourage you to do many of the same things that active mobile home investors do. We spent a good deal of time and effort building a reputation to attract sellers and also find sellers multiple different ways online and off-line. Once we find these opportunities we have to act quickly and know a handful of options to help the sellers and make offers quickly. There are definitely so many more questions you will have moving forward. Feel free to keep in touch and if you have any specific questions feel free to comment back or email me directly at support@mobilehomeinvesting.net. Keep in touch. All the best.
Very insightful video for folks just getting started and really for anyone working with handyman homes. I sure could’ve used this video on deal #1 or 2 aghh! Thanks for sharing the details on numbers etc really helpful.
Thanks for watching. There are likely mobile home dealerships around you within some driving distance. However I would encourage you to reach out to every single local mobile home park manager you can speak with to see what mobile home opportunities/deals they have. Perhaps they may have something that you can purchase for cheap and make some repairs too. I hope this helps and points you in the right direction. Any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Hola Sra. Sandoval. Gracias por comunicarte. Asegúrese de verificar todos los parques de casas móviles y agentes inmobiliarios locales en el área dentro de las 100 millas. Esta es una respuesta muy simple, sin embargo, espero que le indique la dirección correcta. Si tiene más preguntas, no dude en responder. Gracias.
You always end up paying for, one way or the other. Very rarely are you given free homes that are in perfect shape. As you can see in the video, this one definitely needed some work. Plus the lot rent was back a couple months. However these deals are absolutely out there. As you can imagine they do not last long once somebody finds them. Feel free to keep in touch moving forward. Any follow-up mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Hi Kandi. Thank you for watching and commenting. This particular home was located outside of the Dallas area. However the folks that I interview on this channel are all members of the mobile home formula training program. They are investors from around the country. If you are looking for a handyman special I would definitely encourage you to head through all of the parks in your local area, talk to the managers if possible, and also make sure you know what is available online for sale. Hope this helps and points you in the right direction. Moving forward whenever you have any follow-up mobile home questions never hesitate to reach out any time. All the best.
Hi Bruzza, Thanks for reaching out and connecting. There are typically apartment specific realtors in most cities. These are realtors that specialize in finding people apartments to rent. Perhaps reaching out to some of these specific realtors would point you in the right direction for what you are looking for. Hope this is helpful. Any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out anytime please.
Thanks for commenting. This home was sold for cash a short time after it was purchased. Some homes we sell for payments, however this one was an all-cash type of deal. This home is not in Vegas. Hope this helps and makes sense. Keep in touch moving forward.
We are all learning and growing regularly. Great job watching these videos in the first place. Moving forward whenever you have mobile home related questions never hesitate to write back or comment here anytime.
Hello Colette. Thank you very much for reaching out and connecting. Yes we do however our homes typically go quickly. I would encourage you to speak with most of the park managers in your area to find if they are selling anything at a reasonable price or know of any homes that will be available in the next few weeks or months. You will also want to find sellers that are selling online/off-line as well as advertise yourself or your service. This will help sellers find you so that you are able to purchase a home you like and fits your criteria. I hope this helps some and points you in the right direction moving forward. Any follow-up questions please never hesitate to reach out any time.
Hi Rachel Ann. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. This one is outside of the DFW area in Texas. However mobile homes like this exist in every state of the country, minus Hawaii. Moving forward any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Yes, we always have a turnover of different used homes in all sizes and shapes. However the properties typically go pretty quickly when we sell them. In addition, I'm not sure what area of the country you are in, so I do not want to say we have something in your area for sure. I do not think this reply was very helpful, however if you have any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Hi Kelly. I am so sorry to hear that! That is terrible! I hope you and your entire family are safe and no one was hurt. I hope insurance is helping out if possible. Is the park making you remove the burned home for the pad? Hope you are all safe now. I definitely encourage you to reach out to all the local community managers if possible to see if they have anything for sale or perhaps a handyman special the park may have taken back recently. Perhaps they can put you in touch with the seller that maybe consider selling as well. Moving forward keep in touch if you have any mobile home specific questions or homes that you are looking at.
Thanks for watching. Yes, that is typically the case. I'm sure there are some type of programs where the home might be paid through some charity, however it would likely be quickest if you were able to pay for this with cash, bank financing, or ranging payments with the seller.
Hi Gerland. Thanks for commenting. Very good attitude. It all can be repaired, but it does not mean that it should be repaired. If you rehab an older, smaller, out of date 1970s mobile home. You will only be left with an old narrow mobile home. You are not able to sell these for nearly as much as you would a nicer home in most areas. However you are definitely still correct about rehabbing all of this if you really wanted to. I've been through homes from the 1960s that look nicer than one's from the 2000's. It is all about the pride of ownership and how well they are taken care of. Thanks again for commenting. Keep in touch.
Hi Adrianna. Thanks for watching and connecting. It is ideal to have some time and some money when looking for a home. This way you will not be a super motivated buyer rushing to purchase the first property they can get their hands on. Ideally you will want to take a wide approach and see a lot of homes and talk to a lot of sellers before purchasing the right home for you. Make sure you like the neighborhood as well as completely understand what you are buying. Walk through the homes a number of times before committing to any one of them. Hope this helps and point you in the right direction. Keep in touch moving forward.
The answer to your question definitely depends on the location that you are around the country. Also if the mobile home is a single wider double wide, and if there are any additions to the mobile homes that need to be torn down and moved as well. Also if there will be decks that will be moving with the home as well, this will change the price up. However a single wide and 50 miles or so around the country will be roughly $4000 give or take. In some areas it will be as low as $2000 in other areas it will be as high as $8000 to move a single wide. However I hope this helps and gives you a rough estimate. Deftly call around to a handful of local movers to compare prices, build rapport, and how long they have been in business.
Thanks for commenting, Silvia. In Alabama and New York depending on the age, no title is needed and a bill of sale will correctly convey ownership from one person to another. However in almost every other state, if a title is not provided to the buyer then they will probably have trouble obtaining clear title. Feel free to email me at support@mobilehomeinvesting.net with any more detailed questions or thoughts moving forward.
@@MobileHomeFormula im in california. I actually asked to see the bill of sale and it was a regular piece of paper so im like i dont know whqt to do. Its a 2001 double wide
Hi Ronald. Thanks for watching. I'm not sure how much the lot rent was at the time of recording this video. However I'm sure that the lot rent has gone up a few dollars since then. Moving forward, any follow-up mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Understood about your friend needing a home prior to the winter. I would very much encourage both you and her to make a concerted effort to reach out to every single mobile home park within a 50 mile radius of yourselves. Asked them for any park owned homes for sale that may need some repair work done to them. Let them know your budget and to call you if anything changes soon. This will let you know exactly what is going on in the parks around you and hopefully lead you both onto an opportunity that is helpful. I hope this helps and points you in the right direction. Moving forward please feel free to keep in contact and reach out with any follow-up questions.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The mobile home in today's video is located in the state of Texas. However the rest of the mobile homes and videos on this channel pertain to different states around the country. If you have any specific state related questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Thank you for watching and commenting. There are definitely mobile home scattered around the country that have been involved in various disaster scenarios. These homes are used once and then auctioned off and moved around the country. I do not believe this particular home is a FEMA home though. Some of these homes are produced by mainstream manufactured home builders and some of them are produced by smaller factories. However you are right that there may be formaldehyde in some of these. Additionally, as they bake in the sun these chemicals can come out more. Make sure to air out a mobile home a bit if it is been sitting in while. Keep in touch moving forward. If you have any mobile home specific questions never hesitate to reach out any time.
Hi Donna. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. These homes are located in the central Texas area. However mobile homes like this may be found in every state except for Hawaii. However they typically have to be found or attracted quickly, if they are sitting on the market for too long they will get snatched up fast. Feel free to keep in touch with any follow-up mobile home related questions. All the best.
Thanks for watching along and commenting. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comment or reach out to me directly at support@mobilehomeinvesting.net. Happy to help if possible.
thank you for watching. It is nice that your friend has someone like you in their life. It is good that there are two people now looking locally and talking to every Park manager to see what opportunities are out there.
Hi Nishan. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Moving forward any mobile home related questions you have never hesitate to reach out any time. Feel free to comment back here directly or email me at support@mobilehomeinvesting.net. Happy to help if possible. Keep in touch.
Congratulations! That is very good to hear. If these are for investment I hope that they are working out better than expected for you. Moving forward any follow-up questions you have never hesitate to reach out anytime. All the best.
Thanks for commenting. You are definitely right that around the country a home like this would be free in some locations, and even up to $40,000 or more in some other locations. Coastal areas on the east and west coast, including specific areas in New England are experiencing record-breaking prices for very old and used mobile homes. Some sellers getting these prices and others have to lower before selling, however prices are certainly going up and up around the country. As investors we do not want to purchase skinny deals or homes anywhere close to retail prices. However even with higher-priced homes the ability to get these under contract and wholesale them is a realistic possibility with prices on the rise. I hope this rambling helps and makes sense. Feel free to keep in touch moving forward. All the best.
Thanks for commenting and reaching out, Kevin. This investor is located in Texas. However mobile homes can definitely be found all around the country. If you have any mobile home specific questions never hesitate to reach out anytime. All the best.
Thank you for commenting. With regards to free mobile homes, these are definitely just not being advertised on the market. Each one of us definitely has to put in the work to find and attract these type of opportunities. In reality, the first person that finds a decent free home will likely snatch it up assuming they are interested. However these can be found inside preexisting mobile home parks as well as on people's land that need to be moved. This definitely is a very short answer however I would encourage you to reach out to every local park that you can find to ask them what type of opportunities they have for sale, or if they know of anyone in the park needing to sell quickly. You may also want to let the park manager know that you are not afraid of doing work or rehabbing a mobile home if it means getting the home at a cheaper cost. Sometimes these managers just think we are looking for beautiful and new homes. I hope this helps and starts to point you in the right direction. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out any time.
Thanks for commenting and connecting. Glad you feel the same way. When used properly $3000 can definitely go a long way. Well… Perhaps not as far with today's lumber and material prices. However $3000 can certainly do a lot of good when used wisely in these homes. Thanks again for connecting. Any specific questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.
Thanks, I got a solution for that lumber issue. I'm actually able to capitalize on it, I would love to get your input about a project I'm gonna finish up soon. Maybe we could help each other.
Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thanks for watching this video. I do hope that it was helpful to you already. In most cases we are not finding mobile homes that are free, we are finding mobile homes that sellers are asking some type of price to purchase the mobile home. However after we run our numbers on resale value, repairs, holding costs, labor, etc we may find out that we are not able to pay anything for the mobile home itself. In some cases this is still very helpful to the mobile home seller or Park owner as it fixes up the property, make sure the home will stay in the park usually, and will sooner or later begin paying lot rent and increasing the value and revenue of the community. Additionally, if the home has to be moved that is another big value you are providing if the seller wants the home off of the land. I hope that this helps him and point you in the right direction. This answer certainly is a bit vague however depending on the situation you are in I would ask you a couple dozen questions about every mobile home you are looking at. It is important to know exactly what you are looking at, and the realistic exit strategy you plan to take on every property before making any purchase offers to sellers. Hope this helps and point you in the right direction. All the best.
Good afternoon! No, I'm sorry this one was quickly sold some time ago. However stay active and keep looking for mobile homes for sale. Any follow-up mobile home questions you have never hesitate to reach out anytime. Hope you find something that you really love.
