I'm looking for a career in manufactured home sales, my nay sayers say stay away, but I say otherwise.  I'm excite, I'm a believer, and I would appreciate any feedback on the subject, positive or negative, I'm prepared to receive it.....

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Crystal,

I don't have much experience with manufactured homes, but I flipped one a couple years ago before I moved on to the attached houses. 

I decided to start small with a mobile home flip. I bought an old one on Craigslist, did a minor renovation and sold it in a couple of months with a nice return of about 50% on my investment. It was time-consuming, but overall a fun experience! I didn't continue with mobile homes as the reward wasn't worth the time I spent on it. You need to do a lot at a time and really have a system to make it work.

Here in Massachusetts Mobile Homes are considered a personal property, so all you need is a bill of sale. So no wait on a mortgage or registration!  The biggest downside overall was dealing with the park owner who had to approve the buyer before I could sell my house.

My advice - if you think it through and create a system that will work for you, pretty much any business can succeed. Only listen to nay sayers who tried it before and learn from them why they didn't succeed. If they never tried it, they can't say if it works or not!
