MH License required in Texas?

[Oscar Vela Jr.]

I am new to MH Investing. I am trying to get started right away. Do you need to have a license in Texas to buy or sell mobile homes? If I buy and own mobile homes, can I sell them just like residential single family homes? Real estate laws only require a broker or dealer license if you are buying and selling real estate you don't own. Can someone from Texas please advise? Thanks.

I am a full time Mobile Home Investor in Texas and Mobile Home Mentor. If you Retail Sale Mobile Homes , then yes you will need a Retailer Licence to sell them.

If you rent to own then no you will not. Meaning you will hold title.

You will need a 50K Bond, That will cost you $1000.00 a year.

You will need to take a 3 day class which you just missed it started Yesterday. that is $250.00 and the Licence fees to the state which is $550.00 a year.
