Do you need a title?

[Cory Scribner]

I found a mobile Home all set up in a park that's sell cheap.  The park took the mobile home for non payment of rent.  The problem i'm having is the park does not have a title to the mobile home saying they own it.  I was told I can buy the mobile home then take the bill or sale to the DMV and will issue me a clean title.  Has anyone ever run into this before?

@Cory Scribner I agree whith @Ken Rishel, let the park do the title replacement. Since they own the unit, and are a park, it's much easier than you doing the legwork.

Always get clean title when buying one of these units.

I looked at one awhile back that 3 different people had purchased and lived in without changing title. The latest seller had no idea where the title owners were living. I told the latest sellers that if they could get clean title I might be able to buy it but not otherwise. Don't need the aggravation. Next!

@David Fritch the park is usually in the business of collecting rent. Many parks have rules that tenants must be owners and don't want to or can't rent. The manager/owner may not be interested in doing any fixup so will sell to an investor to fix and sell. I've bought several like this.

Have fun!
