Discover what Roscoe is doing to juggle single-family flips and mobile home cash-flow side by side.

Finding lower priced mobile homes in your area

Within every state the price, supply, and demand of used mobile homes may vary wildly from city to city. I mention this because on this podcast we mention that Roscoe is finding good quality mobile homes for $20,000 and below. These mobile home properties are not typically listed online or for-sale yet to the general public. This is possible in most areas of the country if you are: 

  • Well, known by local mobile homeowners, sellers, park managers, etc.
  • Marketing and advertising regularly so sellers and mobile homeowners know who you are and how you can help.
  • Additionally, you should be making offers regularly on all homes under $25,000 if aiming to resell via payments. Disclaimer: This $25,000 figure will vary depending on your exit strategy.
