Mobile Home Adventure

[Joe Van]

Investment Info:

Mobile home buy & hold investment in Glenburn.

Purchase price: $54,000
Cash invested: $54,000

This was a fun adventure, talk about a win win win!! We did the entire project through facebook marketplace. We found a nice piece of land at a great price by paying cash and closing quick to help out the seller. It had an older MH on it that was not worth fixing up but the utility hook ups and pad were in great condition. We post the trailer for "Free" on FB and within a week someone was hauling away their new home = They got a home and we saved 5k worth of demo work. We bought another mobile home off FB from a couple needing to move and put it on the land, only needing some minor updating. It's now listed on cozy and we're looking to do a rent to own. So many unique challenges and solutions on this one, it was quite fun and the biggest win for us were all the leads and connections we made along the way. Moving on to the next adventure....
