Carpet is a filth sponge. Put linoleum thru thr whole house. A person can put down an area rug.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Thank you for commenting. Great username. Understood about the carpet comment. I agree with you on putting linoleum or vinyl for most of the homes. I do sometimes stick with carpet for the bedrooms. However definitely do what is customary in your area. Look around to the other homes in the mobile home community if you are a newer mobile home investor that is unsure of how much to fix up your current mobile home investment. Hope that this helps some. Thank you again for commenting. If you have any follow-up mobile home questions never hesitate to reach out any time.

[@margaretterwilliger949]

Great information, so helpful.

[@AlaluofNibiru]

A few additional important items to look for in a Mobile Home is the Data Plate( normally it’s located inside a cabinet door. It provides important information from the manufacturer about the house.) The other item to look for is if the Wheels and Axles are still there( they are valuable and the set up crew normally tries to take them when set up is complete. Also if you ever try to move the house you’ll need them and they are not cheap. I was the general manager of several mobile dealerships for many years and know a thing or two about the biz.

[@Bayougem]

My friend bought a nice clean 2 br 1986 model and upon moving it to her land, the tongue broke from the home, she got fined by the little town that it broke down in and a welder on wheels charged 5000 to fix the tongue. Talk about a surprise cost! That God she put it on her property and after renting it for a couple years, she sold the 1/3 acre and home for a nice price. She’s also a notary/ land closer and saves on all paperwork.

Instead of wall-towall carpets, it's best to have vinyl floors and put down area rugs. rugs can be taken outside, draped over a fence and hosed down. Let drip dry and take clean carpet back in.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thank you for the detailed comment as the certainly does help me understand your situation a bit better. My apologies for the long delay in this comment reply. I assume by now you have since figured out your situation and moved on. I hope that this deal was better than expected or you passed after a further walk-through. If you are investing in the mobile home and you will be able to double your money invested once you resell for cash than this would be a good deal. If you are able to resell on payments and recoup all your money back in 12 months or so and that is a decent deal as well. However in many markets we try to purchase most homes well below $15,000 if possible. If the seller wants more perhaps you are not the right buyer. Keep in touch moving forward.

When you are rehabbing a mobile home.....do you need to worry about weight issues?..will thicker flooring, or drywall...have any issues on the frame/ foundation?

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi bill smith, I apologize about the delay in this comment reply. For some reason I'm just seeing your comment now. With that said thank you for reaching out and connecting. Please know you may always email me any questions or concerns or pictures and I be happy to help there as well. Weight issues are sometimes a concern however you should absolutely know this before going into any deal. The should be part of your due diligence process before buying any home. You will know the current condition of the home, and you will also know what repairs you want to make before renting it or reselling it or whatever exit strategy you are using. In my experience I have not run into framing issues with regards to adding drywall to homes. If the home is so brittle that it may fall apart or you feel sketchy adding thicker flooring or drywall the in this home may be a pass altogether. I hope this helps and make sense. If I didn't answer your question are you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out any time. Talk soon, John

G areat overview about different options for investing mobile homes. I'm coming up on 77 years in December. I've owned, rented, and sold 3 residential propwerties. I don't want to rent properties anymore, as my long term plans must now take my age into consideration. What would you suggest for someone like me who wants to supplement their retirement income? Thanks. (Dan)

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi Dan. Thank you for your comment and following along. Congratulations with regards to the previous and current residential rental properties. I have no doubt that owning and operating these properties does not come without a good deal of time and/or effort on your part. With regards to your question, my answer would certainly depend on your free time, ability to move around, your location, and your available capital. If you have available capital than perhaps being a money lender or money partner on deals of trustworthy investors make the most sense. However if you are around a mobile home dense area, or perhaps an area with a lot of seniors and mobile homes, could work in just a couple of these type of communities and do higher and type of properties. Just a few a year will certainly bring in additional cash. Due to your age I am not a huge fan of you necessarily selling on payments. Not because I do not think you will be around, but rather it will take time to build up the payments into a substantial cash flow. In most areas of the country there is still more cash buyers around them there have been in a long time. However the homes have to be priced right of course. Hope this all helps and makes sense. Hope it helps point you in the right direction. Any follow-up questions please never hesitate to reach out anytime. All the best.

Thank you for information! This is like a 1973, 1974 mobile home! I think we best just leave alone

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Thanks for reaching out and connecting. When mobile homes have to be moved I agree to typically stay away from pre-HUD mobile homes built around 1976 and below. However if they are able to remain in the community than a mobile home from the 1960s is not out of the question. However older homes like this certainly look and feel a bit outdated depending on the home. However I have seen some 1970s homes that are in better shape than homes in the 2000's. A big portion definitely comes down to the sellers pride of ownership. Thanks again for commenting and reaching out.

How do I find where my hot water heater is? In a 1992 Oakwood Trailer I just purchased.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi Renae. Thank you for reaching out and commenting. Very good question. If the hot water heater is not located on the outside of the mobile home than it is somewhere on the inside… Unless it was removed and water has not been on in this home for some time. You'll want to check all of the hallway closet, under the kitchen sink, in the corner of where the kitchen sink is, in the pantry, or any other hidden area in the mobile home. Master bedroom closets are popular area for the water heater as well. I hope that this helps him and points you in the right direction.

Bought 98 double wide from not original owner for 10k no title later found out has mortgage lien and tax lien it’s on my land should I get lawyer or just call mortgage company for balance your thoughts

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Thank you so much for reaching out and connecting! I really regret to hear about the situation that you are in. It definitely sounds like the original owner likely lied to you or misrepresented the entire situation. Technically, while you did pay for the mobile home the title is not in your name and therefore you are not the legal owner as far as the state is concerned. However I would absolutely bring all the paperwork you have to an attorney in town if possible. Look for one in your town or in your state that offers free consultation or perhaps an attorney through a nonprofit that will help you in this matter. Please keep in touch moving forward. We would really like to know what happens and I sincerely hope that somehow you are able to get your money back or force the original owner to pay off the lien and transfer the title to you. However this is probably not likely as the original owner probably does not have the money to do so. Not to mention the situation with the back taxes for the land. Definitely speak with an attorney. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions big or small please never hesitate to reach out any time.

[@number1pappy]

You didn't mention anything about permits when repairing. When repairing or renovating a mobile home to sell how difficult is the permitting process with counties or citys?? Should I worry about code enforcement? On one of my mobile homes I want to sell has an attached wood porch that I'm afraid won't meet code. Should I worry about it being an issue when selling??? Its solidly built, it just wouldn't meet code because the joist are not 16 inches on center. They are 20 inches. Thanks.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi Retired at 49. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Great screen name. You are absolutely right that we did not talk much about permits in this video. This would be a very good topic for future mobile home investing video. Thank you for the idea. You are correct that your local municipality will likely want you to pull the same permits you would for a single-family home for a mobile home. This includes permits with regards to plumbing, electric, window replacements, roof repair, roof replacement, AC update, floor work over so many square feet, exterior siding potentially, decks or porches, etc. However in reality most homeowners not pull permits for many of these things. Especially mobile homeowners inside of a mobile home park. The answer to whether you should worry about this when selling is, it depends. If the mobile home has been bought and sold a few times then you are likely just fine with regards to selling this again without raising any flags. Keep in mind we do not want to hide anything from the public or sell anything that is not safe without disclosing everything that we know. Additionally, keep in mind that in order mobile home was built to older standards and therefore will not meet current codes. The home should be safe and think should work correctly for the most part. Again, if the home has been bought and sold before then you should not have an issue with regards to selling this again. Lastly, in a very few locations around the country an inspection is needed prior to title transferring to the new buyer. If this is the case then inspector may go out to the home to briefly inspect the home to make sure everything is in working order and up to minimum standards. If this is the case then the porch may come under review. However this last scenario is very very unlikely in my experience and again only in a very very few number of places around the country. Hope this all helps and make some sense. If you have any follow-up questions ever hesitate to comment back or email me directly at [e-mail]. All the best.

Do you have information on replacing underlayment and insulation repair underneath?

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi Karen. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Yes, this is talked about briefly in one or two videos however we do not go into deep discussion or showing insulation being repaired underneath the mobile home. If possible, check around you for any mobile home parks or supply stores. If you are able to find one of the stores they are able to provide you material and likely the know-how to get most of the job done. Depending on your specific area around the country you'll want to consider using different materials that can protect against harsh wind and cold climates. Thank you for giving me a very good idea for a coming video. Replacing underlayment is a common issue and insulation hanging down is something many of us deal with on a regular basis as well. Look for these incoming videos. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out any time.

Tk u for the video!

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Around the country "lot rent" are going up more and more to normal market prices. However in some parks the lot rents can go up and surpass normal market prices. The owner of the park, in many states, is the one that dictates how high this lot rent will go. In California there are definitely parks where you will find lot rents well under $1000 per month, however obviously these are not anywhere near the coast and may be in a very undesirable area. However you are so right that many of your parks are over thousand dollars per month, and over $2000 per month in many/all of the communities in certain areas. In these areas investing still makes sense however the homes have to be purchased correctly. It also may not be wise to hold these for payments since the monthly lot rent is so high. If you have to pay one month holding cost this could cancel out for months of cash flow if you are only making $500 per month in net cash flow. However fixing and flipping mobile homes to cash buyers or bank finance buyers is typically what we are doing in California. This way you may only have to pay a couple months lot rent before reselling the home for a sizable profit. I hope this helps and points you in the right direction. Keep up the great work! Thanks again for commenting.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi Leo, Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Very good question. Thanks for the detailed comments as this certainly does help me answer you a bit better. In my opinion it may be wise to go with a newer home. If you spend all the money to fix a 1978 mobile home, you will still be left with a 1978 mobile home that is fixed up and looks better than new. However the lending when you go to resell or refinance may be a bit limited due to the age. If you spend the same or less money purchasing a newer home in state or out-of-state that may be the better way to go. I hope that this helps and make some sense. The choices completely up to you however I hope this gives you something extra to think about. Feel free to keep in touch. All the best.

[@lelegrazi]

Thank you so much for all your videos. We just bought a mobile home from 1999. It has issues with the roof (leaks in one bedroom causing stain to the ceiling), and a few holes in the siding. Are there easy and inexpensive ways to fix those? We are trying to update it to increase the resale value.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi Lelegrazi, Thank you for reaching out and connecting. A home built in the very late 90s is certainly not that old. If you fix it up it certainly will still have a good bit of value moving forward. I hope this home is a three bedroom as these are what most people want. However two-bedrooms and one bedrooms can still be popular as well. Either way I can certainly help shed some light with regards to your question about the holes in the siding. It depends how you will be selling this home either all-cash or via payments or renting it out. I mention this because any "patch" or "filler" will look like you are trying to patch or fill the hole. It will be fixed and corrected however aesthetically it will not look the best as removing and replacing the siding with brand-new siding. If you replace it with brand-new siding this will obviously cost the most amount of money however will look the best and if the market can get a very high retail price than this may be something to consider. However patching it with similar material from a next or piece of siding is typically how I proceed when patching holes in siding. You may not have an extra piece of siding see you may have to purchase one or find one from a neighbor inside of the park or on the property. I hope this helps and starts to make sense. There are multiple ways to fix these problems however it really depends on how extensive they are, your budget, how you will be selling this, and much more. Either way make sure to get a few estimates from any handyman before deciding which one you use. I hope this all helps and make sense. If I did not fully answer your question never hesitate to reach out any time. All the best. Talk soon, John

Hi Angela! Thank you for reaching out and connecting. I do not have a video like this however this is a video I would like to see as well. There are a few different solutions to what you are describing, and I will assume that your home currently has aluminum paneling at the moment.

I have a 55k budget for land and house

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi Jean Medley, Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Congratulations with regards to this current property or future property with the land and mobile home. If you will be living there then make sure you like the home and the layout and the location. Additionally, my opinion is just one of a number out there. With that being said I would absolutely encourage you to fix up a home if it is from the 1990s or newer. Perhaps from the 1980s if it is a nice big floorplan without too many repairs currently. The reason I say this is because when you get into older homes from the 1960s through 1980s they are only going to be getting older and they look like older mobile homes that are narrow and out of date. If you fix up one of these homes they can certainly look nice and be very livable however they will still look like a very old mobile home on the outside. With that said vinyl siding on the exterior of mobile homes can make them look 20 years newer in many cases. I hope this helps and starts to point you in the right direction moving forward. If you have any specific repair questions never hesitate to send over any pictures or email me directly at [e-mail]. All the best. Keep in touch. Talk soon, John

Thank you for commenting and reaching out. My apologies in the delay of my reply here. Great job getting out to talk with these mobile home sellers and understand what is going on. Creating value and profit from mobile homes without investing any of your own capital is absolutely possible, depending on the deal, seller, and situation.

Hi D Finite, Thanks for reaching out and connecting. I do hope that this video has been somewhat helpful to you already. When it comes to free homes, there is not just one way to find free homes. Instead I would encourage you to have multiple sources of ways to find mobile homes, both free and not free. In my business I am coming across free homes mainly when they have to be moved off of their current piece of land. There are free homes in other situations however these typically need a great deal of repair. I hope this helps some and make sense. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out any time. All the best. Talk soon, John

What about putting an outside door into a mobile home? We own one where the doors are on the same side and we want a back door ?

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Thanks for reaching out and commenting. I have seen and own some mobile homes with this floorplan. In fact, there are not even any windows or doors on the one side of the mobile home. A number of years ago I was advised to be very careful when adding Windows or doors to the exterior of a mobile home. This is because there are no loadbearing walls inside of a mobile home. It is much like a shoebox with the walls holding up the roof. These homes are designed by engineers that account for all of the nerd math needed to keep these home safe. When you start making extra holes in exterior walls, or the walls of a shoebox, the integrity of the entire home is really degraded. For this reason if you do at a door I would encourage you to speak with the manufacturer or at least a very experienced handyman about adding this exterior door. It would be important to over reinforce this area if possible. Hope this helps and make some sense. Keep in touch moving forward. All the best.

So is it better to sell using an escrow company with a fixed interest rate, or is it better to sell it on a rent to own with rent credits over 5 years?

[@dawnyoung9896]

My escrow company charges like $700, so we got a contract("mobile home sales agreement") through a lawyer, (couldn't find a legal one on WA), and sold it in payments that way, with a down, of course. I don't think I could have talked the park into rent to own, since its still technically renting. Maybe you can. That would be awesome. I've had rent to own properties, (on my own land) and they've been great tenants, neither one took the option, so I still have the properties. One still rents from us now, and the other I filled with a tenant.

Condensation is why you will often see water damage near windows. Lots of mobiles have single pane windows. Windows should be upgraded to double pane. Particle board floor can't take a toiled drip from a tank. I believe it's important to reinsulate because the insulation often gets partially destroyed from condensation also. Insulation in walls and ceilings was often minimal to begin with. What would be good is to have an air space between framing and siding from crawl space all the way to ridge vent on the roof, after getting wall and roof thickness up to where you can get plenty of insulation in there. Vapor barrier would be important also, on the warm side. Lots of mobiles used 1/4" sheetrock glued to studs as the "sheathing" to keep the frame from racking, and they covered the sheetrock with a vinyl type of paper which may have been to act as some level of vapor barrier.

Hi John, I am thinking that it would be easy to get started with selling mobile homes with the rent or seller financing models. I know where I live the seller financing seems to be what People want, just by looking at the mobile home classifieds. Credit issues or not making enough money for payments on a site built home seems to be the big attraction to renting or seller financing.

Do you have a home

An older relative who has an old mobile home on a couple of acres and it's 50 years old. There was someone living in it for a long time, and didn't keep it up very well, but apparently the roof is in good shape. Trying to figure out if it's worth renovating it. It would be used as a vacation home for the family. Would rather not spend money on a new one.

Looks as if the "original sin" here was building it with no gutters or roof overhang. Also, it seems to be the preferred practice in most types of construction these days to install windows with no ledges above or sills below. It works as long as the seal don't leak, but sooner or later they all do.

[@strtngfrsh]

So true, they build these things with the concept of save every penny we can and yes I live in one. I would never recommend anyone moving in a mobile home unless there were absolutely no other options and repairing one to sell, I'd have to basically start from the frame up using house grade materials and practices before I'd could bring myself to take money from someone else for it.

Hi Ashley Pillard, Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Without knowing exactly with the situation looks like with regards to the spray foam I do not want to give you any bad information. I can definitely tell you that the spray phone is used a bunch and is sold in most hardware stores. Some mobile home folks use it as a fix all for a lot of different repairs. If this is located in the ceiling and out of the way I may encourage you just to leave it. Yes, you can replace the ceiling panels with a material of your choosing. Quarter inch drywall is popular, Styrofoam sheets, white flat pieces of paneling all work well as ceiling material. I hope this helps and starts to point you in the right direction.

Hey John, was wondering if they had any specific optional short term insurances before I move a mobile home. I've heard some horrible stories that broke first time investors.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi XxCajunLifexX Thibodeaux, Thank you for reaching out and connecting. You bring up a good point that when mobile homes are transported they can sometimes be damaged or destroyed along the way. With that said a seasoned mover should walk through the home before it is moved in order to prepare it for the move and verify that they think the home will make the move safe and sound. If the home is falling apart before it is moved, then a reputable mover should advise you to make needed repairs before the home hits the open road. Always make sure you hire a reputable mobile home transportation or moving company. This company should be licensed, bonded, and insured in the state. Make sure to have paperwork and a contract in place with this company that is moving the home to outline everything that is included in the move. Breaking down the home, transporting it, setting it back up, and connecting utilities and filing permits may all be included in the cost you are paying. Also make sure to verify active insurance, a current license, and legal permits in order to move your property. I hope this helps and starts to make sense. In short it is the responsibility of you to make sure you are hiring a reputable moving company that comes with references and is insured. Keep in touch. If you ever have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out any time. Talk soon, John

Is there ever a situation where you won’t renovate a mobile home? As in is there such as a home that isn’t salvageable. I bought my first home for 9k, while isn’t a lost cause I’m realizing it’s a lot of work.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Thank you so much for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thanks for the detailed question as the certainly does help me understand the situation a bit better. There are plenty of situations where I will not renovate a mobile home. As you listen to interviews on this channel, you will see that some people almost always renovate their mobile homes, while other people almost never renovate their mobile homes, and some do a combination. You do not want to over improve the mobile home based on the buyer you will attract, the exit strategy want, the price you want, the neighborhood you are in, location, and time of the year. Also, is the juice worth the squeeze? If you are able to make a few a good profit without fixing the home up to the nines, and you are also able to make a good profit if you fix the home up to the nines and resell it, I choose the quicker and easier path. Make some profit while only fixing certain repairs in the mobile home. Some homes require certain repairs, and other homes in other locations it would be best to fix the home up completely in order to get top dollar in a very hot market. However everything in this comment reply is very general and each mobile home deal is specific and unique be careful with regards to making too many improvements, hiring the wrong people, using the wrong material, or having a plan that is not in line with reality. Keep in touch moving forward. Any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out anytime.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi Scootr Zeal, Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thank you for your questions. Great job getting out there and starting to take action to help local buyers, sellers, and parks. You will absolutely find that most mobile home parks around the country will not allow you to simply rent a mobile home to a traditional renter. Instead you will have to sell the home via payments so that you put in owner-occupant inside the home to make you payments for the price of the property. With that said some mobile home parks around the country, and often times parks closer to military bases, will allow you to rent. Additionally, it is always smart to know exactly how to approach a park manager and introduce yourself to get across your point in a clear and concise manner so that they allow you inside of the community. With regards to taking a look at some of your pictures, I would be happy to. Please feel free to email me at [e-mail]. Keep in touch. All the best. Talk soon, John

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi James. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. I very much regret to hear about your landlord digging these holes and likely causing your home to shift around some. Every two months is a lot of shifting. That can easily damage or total your mobile home. Perhaps you should get insurance on the mobile home if you do not already have some. Have you spoken to the landlord about these damages. Perhaps you know somebody that can fix the problems and he/she can pay for the repairs in the kitchen and near the window. I do not know of a reliable handyman or contractor in this area of Pennsylvania. However I would absolutely encourage you to call around to local mobile home communities to see if they can refer you any handyman or contractor phone numbers that are experienced with mobile homes. Call local mobile home dealerships and mobile home factories to ask them the same question as well. There may also be state programs that will come out and fix homes for free in certain scenarios.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Hi Antwoine McKnight, Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thanks for watching. I do hope these videos have been somewhat helpful to you thus far. You absolutely want to make sure you talk with many local buyers to understand what they are looking for, how much they have to pay in cash, as a down payment, and monthly payments. You will usually find there are a lot of interested people looking to own a mobile home without going through an official bank. I mention this because in most areas of the country 100% of buyers typically do not get 100% access to housing that they can own. I say this because there is typically always buyers in every area of the country. However I will definitely agree with you that if anyone with a pulse can buy a traditional home for $400 a month, then there should be few people willing to pay the $575 for lot rent unless they purposefully want to live inside of a mobile home park. I hope this helps and makes a bit of sense. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to write back any time. Always here to help if I can. All the best. Talk soon, John

I walked into a mobile home and the moth ball odor was so bad I had to walk back out. Like cigarette odor I doubt that smell can ever be removed completely. Model year is 1979 and sits on 1/3 acre listed for $80K.

[@MobileHomeFormula]

Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thank you for your comment and question. As a mobile home investor we certainly do purchase mobile homes that do need to be rehabbed. When a home is in need of too many repairs most buyers will not be interested in we can then purchase the home at a discounted price. However we do also purchase nice homes that are very livable inside from sellers with many other types of personal, family, title, home, or life problems. For these reasons folks need to sell quickly and will sell us a decent quality mobile home that needs minimal rehab for well below retail price when we act quickly. Mention all of this because I am not exactly sure where the mobile home is or what the value of the mobile home/land truly is. If $80,000 is a steal and by all means the mothball smell may be able to be removed. There is a saying that says, price cures most worries. If you can purchase the home/land for the right price could simply replace the home if needed. However just like cigarette smoke, this may take a wile and some effort to remove however most of it can be removed. Hope this helps and make sense and point you in the right direction.

Hi Shawn Davis, Thank you for watching and following along. I'm not sure which state you will be investing in so feel free to click the following link to be taken to the page that tells you about the amount of homes before the state asks you to become licensed. www.mobilehomeinvesting.net/mobile-home-license-per-state-how-many-can-you-buysell-per-12-month-period/ I hope this helps and points you in the right direction. As always, if you ever have any follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out anytime. All the best. Talk soon, John

So someone offers me a free mobile home. I here a list of things that are bad.. like 90% of your list. How much is a full gut and rebuild on a single wide 2bed dinning converted to a 3rd bedroom?
