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.
