delinquent tax sales and mobile homes

Jonathan V.

Not sure if this is the best place for this question, but:

If a mobile home lot with a mobile home attached to the land is put up for auction, what are you bidding on? Only the land or the mobile as well?

For instance, when I look up what is being sold on the local county assessor's website, they show the land AND the mobile included in the parcel. But what if the owner of the mobile home isn't the same person as the owner of the land? It's very common for mobile home owners to rent from the land owners, paying "lot rent". So it's plausible that the mobile home owner isn't even aware of the delinquent tax issue.

How would I go about doing due diligence on a piece of property like this? Would I have to evict the owner of the mobile home in order to get them off the property if they aren't willing to pay the lot rent that I dictate?

Also, I'm in Arkansas, we have zero redemption period, the title is yours at the auction after a successful bid.

Edit: I may have misspoke when I said "title" at closing, I'm meaning "deed".
