Mobile Home in Trailer Park Buy or Run?

Jay Escobar

I have an opportunity to buy a trailer in a mobile home park WITHOUT the property for $1500 or less. I know a lot of things depend on the market, the condition of the trailer, when it was built, if I can find a buyer for it, but I would like to know if this is a smart investment because the trailer is so cheap? Or if I should walk away because trailers without property don't have much value? I'm thinking I could wholesale it, or do a lease option/seller financing to create cash flow. There are a lot of unknowns I realize, but if anyone has some general insight as to if this is a good buy or not? 

I've listened to Josh and Brandon's Podcast on Mobile homes (I think it was episode #75 or something) and the guy talks about buying mobile homes in a park for a couple thousand dollars without the land and seller financing or lease optioning to a qualified buyer. I feel like this current situation I'm in could be a good buy, but since it's my first time dealing with a mobile home maybe I should walk away? Thoughts?

Just be careful with the park rules.  You will have to make sure they will approve your buyer to rent the site  before you sell it to them.
