Buying/Selling MH's in WA state

[Kevin Miles]

Hey everybody,

Anybody out there doing MH deals in WA?

I want to get started buying/selling in Pierce County, but am concerned about the states requirements to be a licensed dealer.  Here is the link that shows the requirements:

http://www.dol.wa.gov/business/vehiclevesseldealer...

Some of the requirements are pretty challenging (such as that of needing to have a business location, zoned commercial, open 10-4 at least five days per week), especially for a small time lone wolf  

If I buy some dudes old trailer and then register it in my name at the DOL, then sell a few weeks later - and do this repeatedly - can i expect to be queried and/or told by the DOL that I have to be licensed and told to cease and desist or is this licensing requirement generally not enforced in WA? 

Any work round's that anybody can suggest (unofficially, of course). Does purchasing the homes using a "personal property trust" shield a buyer/seller at all?

And, of course there are Safe Act and Dodd Frank concerns.  

I am open to all suggesting and guidance.

Regards,

Kevin
