John I have a what may be a silly question. If you're planning to wholesale a mobile home then you obviously don't even need to check the home or anything or worry about having to repair at all right? Because you acquire the contract from the seller that really just wants someone else to deal with selling it quickly. Then once you find a motivated buyer and you show them the home and they decide whether it's worth the investment. So basically do you need to wholesale mobile homes that are in good and move in condition or are there buyers motivated to pay more than the contract price for a mobile home that needs repair? I hope that long run on question made sense and thank you for the amazing content. Keep grinding 👌🏽

@@carsnob thanks for reaching out and connecting. The answer to that question is, it depends. You are definitely right that the minimum function of a wholesaler/bird-dog either get the home under contract or point the investor to a mobile home opportunity. It is not necessarily the wholesaler/bird dogs job to make sure the mobile home is in any particular shape one way or the other. You are correct that there are many wholesalers that may never even see a mobile home or single-family house before wholesaling it. Also, there are wholesalers that will have a handyman go through the mobile home to give a bid in writing. This bid can be provided to an investor/buyer you are planning to sell the mobile home too. This is important because some wholesalers seem to pull repair prices out of their butts. They may estimate a mobile home takes $5000 in repairs, where another investor or handyman really sees it as $10,000, or $15,000. As a wholesaler/bird-dog you do not need to know exact repairs however it is important to know the repair costs and how much your end-buyer will be into these repairs forcefully can still make a decent profit. Unless of course a local mobile home investor simply tells you they will pay you $10,000 for any 1990s double wide that you can find, and they were to actually mean it. But besides this the more information that you know the better. I hope that this helps some and make sense. Keep in touch. If you have any follow-up questions never hesitate to reply. All the best.

Interesting to see some lots cleared and prepared for replacement. Have you talked to the park owner about a deal where you dispose of the two older homes and bring in nearly new homes? It seems like the park owners tend to do that type of redevelopment themselves. 🤔

Hi BackwoodsBungslow, Thanks for reaching out and connecting. You are absolutely correct that many mobile home parks around the country are proactively removing older homes and spending money to upgrade their parks and some of their older and perhaps vacant mobile homes. However I would say that there are many times more mobile home parks that have older and junkie vacant mobile homes that would absolutely love to remove some of their older homes and replace them with newer ones. The problem is we probably do not want to do this in these areas as individual mobile home investors. As individual mobile home investors we would like to move a used mobile home onto a lot and sell it for cash or payments. If you will be investing money into the home, move, connections, repairs, etc. that you will most likely want to sell for cash. This is most easily be done in a high demand area. In these high demand areas a number of parks are being bought and sold and have mobile home park owners that are willing to do what we described above… Remove and replace older homes in their communities. With that said they may have a lot of empty spaces and they may welcome you, or few may look at you as competition and not want you there. With that said there are likely hundreds of mobile home parks and on private land around you if you are willing to drive. I hope that this helps some and make sense. Feel free to keep in touch. All the best. Talk soon, John

Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Very good question. The free lot rent or discounted lot rent is a part of the negotiation and sales price for the home. If the home is ready to be moved into then this lot rent concession may not be realistic. However if the home needs some work is fairly common for parks to offer a little bit of free lot rent. However keep in mind the park will not offer that much. As the investor we want to overshoot and what we ask for and let the park tell us what is more realistic. Thanks for watching. Keep in touch.

What is your goal with mobile homes? Flipping? The park owns them? I’m a little confused exp when you were talking free lot rent. Are the homes worth renting or more so if you put them on your own land?

@MobileHomeFormula

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for commenting and reaching out. If you are asking these questions then I certainly apologize I was not clear in the video. The free lot rent will be negotiated because the park owns some of these homes, and that is simply part of the negotiation and the price. Flipping them to another buyer is a strategy for sure. Cleaning them up perhaps. Selling on payments may be. The answer to most of these questions are, it depends. If you are able to move the home onto your own private land that certainly may make sense. However if you are able to create value without moving it that may make sense as well. There are definitely other mobile homes that must-be-moved that you could take potentially move on to your private land as well.

I was surprised you didn't look under the homes. If the plastic and insulation underneath is butchered up,if the wheels and axels are gone especially the first 2 mobile homes,someone is paying me to take them. Here if the house can't be fixed cost effective,it'll cost $300 to haul it to the landfill and the landfill will charge about $700- $800 to tear it apart and bury it. So if you're unable to take an $1100 or more hit,there can't be any big surprises. If you buy a mobile home where the structure is so bad to truck driver won't take a chance to haul it off,it can cost up to $2500 to have a licenced and insured crew dismantle it and haul it off. You touched on many good points,but for the first time person who misses even one or two big problems,the whole thing could be a disaster. Great video

Hi Bill. Thanks for watching and commenting. You are absolutely correct about looking underneath the home in detail to spot the wheels, axles, any leaks, stagnant water, animals, junk, building supplies, mold, the foundation settling, and more. Absolutely before somebody purchases a mobile home should they look underneath the home. If the home does have to be moved then taking into account renting axles and wheels and/or welding on a tongue should be taken into account as this will have to be paid for by somebody. In my experience hauling off a mobile home and having it removed will run around $3000 one way or another, just like you mentioned. Lastly, if the home does have to be moved in the frame is damaged or welded this might be a dealbreaker for the mover who will not move the home. You bring up a lot of good points that this video did not tackle. Luckily there will be another inspection video coming out in the next few weeks with a few surprises. Thanks again for commenting. Keep in touch moving forward.

Hi Dennis Noone, Thanks for reaching out and commenting. Like most answers in real estate, the answer to your question is definitely "it depends". Normally if you own the land most mobile homes are bank finance-able. However some banks are absolutely not. This could be due to the condition of the home, the foundation, how many times it has been moved since the original construction, etc. You will definitely want to reach out to some local banks, credit unions, and even nationwide lenders like Triad financial services and 21st mortgage. Each mobile home is different so I would rather you hear it directly from the horses mouth if you are able to get a loan for your mobile home. I know that this is not a definitive answer however I hope that it does help point you in the right direction. Free to keep in touch. All the best. Talk soon, John

Hello! Prospective investor here! How would you swing free lot rent? Would lot rent go back to normal once you sell it? I’ve been thinking about purchasing a mobile home to live in for college years and eventually sell/rent. Is renting out a trailer possible?

@MobileHomeFormula

3 жыл бұрын

Hey Bruuuuhhhhhhhh. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. If the mobile home is park owned and for sale, then free lot rent is simply part of the negotiation. Some parks are much more flexible on this than others. However one way or another this holding cost definitely needs to be taken into account regardless of the level of repairs. I aim to ask for many months of free or waived lot rent when trying to purchase a mobile home directly from a park. If you are purchasing directly from a homeowner the park will rarely make any lot rent discounts to you in my experience. Secondly, I like your idea about purchasing a mobile home to live in through the college years and then rent or resell afterwards. Some parks will allow renting and some parks will not. Keep in mind any roommates you have likely have to get approved with the park as well. I hope that this helps at all make sense. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out any time.

So, on the last unit, what is a good number to offer price-wise?

@MobileHomeFormula

Жыл бұрын

Hi Richard. Thank you for reaching out and connecting. This will definitely depend on the area that the mobile home is in around the country. In some areas/parks it would be smart to not pay over a few hundred dollars for this home, however in most areas a few a few thousand dollars or less is where you would want to be for this type of home. Aim to resell for cash and at least double the invested capital. If you're looking to sell on payments or rent then you can pay a bit more for the property if you really wanted it. However in some markets this home would be worth 20k or more in even worse shape, if you were able to repair and resell for an all cash price to double your capital. As you can see, your purchase price definitely depends on the repairs and realistic exit price/strategy. I hope this helps some and makes sense. Any follow-up questions or comments never hesitate to reach back out anytime.

The last home looked like you could do that one pretty easy and fast. A good candidate. Business case wise. The second red 50x12 you did not have the key for I liked. Not for business case, because it’s probably a marginal home at best. But I like it for its style and it has what appears to be a good set of aluminum siding. But probably needs a new roof, rafters and all. I would go for the period style and look. Keep aluminum siding, paint it period colors with multiple shades. Restore all the road lights and power them with a switch so you can light them up at night. Maybe do a tin can trailer style motif. The 1st one may be to far gone to be able to bring it back for a reasonable amount of money. But I like the aluminum siding on it.

@MobileHomeFormula

Hi Sharon. Very good question. There is so much that goes into evaluating what is a "good deal" or not. I would say the condition of the home and the repairs needed are only 30% of the equation. It is also so important to know the location the home is located in, if the mobile home is located inside of a park there will be many questions associated with this type of situation, obviously what repairs are needed, what repairs you will perform and how much these will cost, your exit strategies, the buying market and demand and what you can resell the home for, how much you are into the property and the needed capital you have moving forward to invest in other properties. I have made another video that talks directly about the "deal breakers" when investing in mobile homes, however you will come to find that it is important to look at the full picture before deciding to pull the trigger or not. That was a bit of a vague answer however I do hope that it helps and makes sense. Whenever I work with folks we speak at length about each property, looking over pictures, and asking at least two dozen questions. For this reason there is no KZread comment that I could write that would cover every situation. However I will say that when you sell for cash you should aim to double your invested capital, and when you sell on payments you should receive all of your money back within a year and sell for at least five years worth of incoming payments. When you wholesale you should make a few thousand dollars or more. Keep in touch moving forward.

There is not just one source or method I would encourage you to use to find and attract mobile home sellers. Instead I would encourage you to begin looking online and in the real world with regards to what is for sale. However if you are looking to live in these homes yourself then by all means checking out a few local dealerships may be a wise idea. If you have land you are looking to move these on then searching within 200 miles is not out of the question is you will be moving the homes into your area from within the state or nearby. Hope that this helps some and points you in the right direction. This is obviously a very vague answer however depending on your situation, time, goals, needs, etc. my answers will absolutely change.

However this is not likely to happen in most parks. However if you are purchasing directly from a mobile home park than most parks will provide at least one month of free lot rent. However one month is not that exciting for me. To answer your question I want to realistically shoot for three months of free lot rent. However I will start with free lot rent until I get it sold, or if they don't accept that that I will aim for six months free lot rent. The free lot rent ends as soon as I get a tenant buyer or cash buyer into the mobile home. If it sells in two weeks then lot rent starts in two weeks. Hope this helps some. All the best.

Hi True Love. Good screen name. When it comes to finding used mobile homes we want to look everywhere we can online and off-line. However it is also important to build a reputation locally with people that are in the mobile home investing business and come across mobile homes daily. As well as build relationships with single-family house investors that find mobile homes and are not interested in them. We should also be advertising online and off-line consistently to put ourselves in the pathway for people to find us when they need to sell. It is not a question of if there is going to be people that need help and need to sell quickly, the question is whether they are going to know that you exist and can help them. This does not come by accident. Building up a reputation like this definitely takes hard work and daily effort. While he did not answer this question specifically I hope that this does help and point you in the right direction moving forward. If you have any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out to me directly or comment back anytime. All the best.

So say you find mobile homes like this, where there's a ton of fixes, the roof is caving in etc , should you even make a crazy low ball offer? Like 1k 2k? And put in as much personal work as well as money into it? Even to just come out with a rental? To me that's what these are. Mobile homes just aren't desirable from what I've gathered other than by price point. But condition tends to suck. But flipping them doesn't even seem worth the effort.

Thanks for commenting. The answer to most real estate questions is, it depends. All of these homes are definitely valuable and can be resold for a profit. In the specific location that they are in, you may not be able to sell them for a high cash price, but selling them via payments would definitely get you a lot of interest on all three of these properties. It is definitely my opinion that in situations like this, assuming that we can actually help them, we should make offers on these properties. We should make offers whether they are being sold by mobile home parks or directly by the owner occupants. The sellers may not love our offers however this is the amount we are able to pay to help them. It would be good to make them a cash offer and a payment offer as well to give them more options. There other ways to help them sell and create value with most properties. Keep in mind that as newer investors we always try to figure out how to create value with each mobile home. Perhaps there is a way that we can create a $500 profit, however is that really even worth your time and effort. Try to only work on deals where you know the profit will be substantial. I hope this helps and makes some sense. Feel free to keep in touch. Any follow-up mobile home related questions please never hesitate to reach out anytime.

My sincere apologies to hear that you and everyone in the community is being ripped from your home and having to relocate somewhere else. Sadly this is happening at multiple other parks around the country as well. As you have most likely seen rental prices are going up across the country and at many mobile home communities. I would encourage you to reach out to as many park managers locally, and not so locally, as you can. You are looking for a park owned mobile home that may or may not need repairs. Some parks may be willing to sell via payments as well. However always make sure the mobile home park has the title and can show you this with their name on it as owners. I hope this helps and point you in the right direction. Any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out any time.

Make sure to really know who was selling what in your area so that you know all of your options. I hope this helps and make sense. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions never hesitate to reach out any time. All the best.

Curious. You're not looking under the mobil home at all the plumbing and insulation? This is the part that concerns me if I buy, because I don't prefer to work under them, except for blocking it. I've been working for my brother in law who just bought his father's mobil home park. There are about a dozen rentals that need lots of work, some worse than others. I've done about 5 mobil homes so far on laminate flooring/trim throughout, and quite steady at painting, but that's about all I can do except for other little odds and ends that require creativity, which I'm also pretty decent at. My wife and I may buy our first mobil home and put it on my brother in law's property., or may even buy one that he has already there, save on moving one!.... My wife has about 1/4 ownership of the park. And I would want to fix it myself and sell it. Rather not rent due to dealing with maintenance . What do you think, Do you feel that there are many middle class American's who are down sizing to mobils? I wonder how easy it would be to sell it, and don't want to forced to rent.

Thanks for watching and the detailed comment. First things first, congratulations with regards to having a quarter ownership in that park. If you are experience dealing with mobile homes, then perhaps preparing them yourself does make the most sense. You are definitely correct with regards to the demand typically being high, and the supply being low. If these mobile homes are somewhat attractive and priced well, and they should sell very quickly. Keep in mind that in some areas you will be able to find a cash buyer very quickly, and in other areas people will have very little cash. This means that you may have to sell them on payments. However the value should still be there and you should be transparent with regards to what you are selling. This obviously is a very quick answer however I hope it does help some and point you in the right direction. You are right that in the videos we did not look much underneath the mobile home. There are a couple other videos where we walk your mobile homes and you'll find that there is more attention to the underside of the mobile home. This is obviously very important for a number of reasons including weatherization, leaks, integrity of the home, sinking problems, etc. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions big or small please never hesitate to reach out anytime.

@@MobileHomeFormula So the mobil home park is pretty old (1970s) and in the south part of town. We have already renovated and rented 4 of them this year and plan on doing several more over the next couple years. Its located in the south part of town and is in a decent area next to a nice nursing home and the income support division, although across the street about a football field away are some people who do drugs and we have had some vandalism recently. So I'm not so sure I would be able to sell although most of the 45 mobil homes are in decent livable shape. My brother in law wants to eventually make it a senior park but I'm not so shure as the park roads need to be all redone.

Hi Taylor. Thank you so much for reaching out and connecting. I very much regret to hear about the situation that you are in. If possible, call your states manufacture home titling department to see if they have any type of programs for folks with low incomes. Many states provide grants programs to have mobile homes made safe and insulated if you are unable to pay for this yourself. I'm not sure if this answer helps however I do hope that it points you in the right direction. Moving forward if you have any mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out any time.

Why does anyone think that renovating a mobile home is anything different than renovating a regular home?? Just pull a wall panel off here and a ceiling section off there to know what's going on behind the scene's and you'll know what you're getting yourself into! The materials are less because the wall studs most likely are only 2 x 3 and insulation minimal.

Thanks for commenting Scott. You bring up a really good point. For certain repairs mobile homes and single-family homes are practically identical. However depending on the manufactured homes year it may be easier or more difficult to remove and replace wall and ceiling panels while inspecting and rehabbing. However in a single-family homes you may be dealing with different building codes and finishing work. You are certainly right about the materials being of less quality and mobile homes compared to single-family homes much of the time. Thanks again for commenting. Feel free to keep in touch.

Thanks for watching and commenting. That is fantastic that you would be allowed to have a mobile home in your backyard in the Los Angeles area. I would think that an RV may be allowed, however I am surprised that a mobile home is. However with regards to your statement about finding an inexpensive mobile home for sale, you are absolutely going to have to go inland for sure. Mobile homes on the coast are mostly quite expensive. That is because when there is a mobile home seller there is a buyer to scoop up the property. However there are mobile homes with title problems, at certain auctions, in need of vast repairs, and/or with sellers that need to sell very quickly. We also choose to have sellers find us before the home is on the market. With all of these methods you will still be going inland to find many more inexpensive properties. I hope that this helps and starts to point you in the right direction. Talk soon, John

Hi TheReal OG. Thanks for reaching out and connecting. My apologies about the delay in this common reply. Great screen name as well. I suppose with any of these homes, technically they are not free… You will be improving them to some degree before reselling them. However you're definitely correct about not paying any money to purchase the mobile home itself and not paying lot rent for a few months to the lot. Once the home is fixed up can then be quickly marketed and sold to a cash buyer or payment buyer. The goal is normally to get the home sold before having to make many lot rent payments, however I would rather the home be empty rather than a risky tenant-buyer in the property. However this is only when you are selling for payments. If selling for cash than it is important to advertise like crazy and be semi-flexible in price to sell the home to a qualified buyer sooner rather than later. I hope this helps and makes sense. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions please never hesitate to reach out anytime. All the best. Talk soon, John

Thanks for reaching out and connecting. You bring up a great point! Some builders were very ethical and used top-quality products for the time. Other builders chose to cheap out and use very inexpensive products, even for the time, to create more profit for themselves or other reasons. After 1976 things became a bit more regulated when HUD stepped in and a lot of these builders went out of business; one reason being because some builders could not do things as ethically or with as higher-quality as they should have been doing all along.

Thanks for commenting Kenyon and DieselTrucker. There are definitely opportunities around and it is important to be selective. Just because someone has money, definitely does not mean that they should go out and quickly spend it. Some investors burn these homes down rather than make the repairs. And others are able to create value with the home legally one way or another. If the opportunities are skinny I am certainly not a fan. However this is definitely a good example that certain opportunities can be around from time to time. Certain investors will absolutely pass on some deals and another investor will be able to capitalize. Or perhaps make mistakes and learn some lessons. Thanks again for commenting.
