I'm interested, if anyone is doing this let me know so we can connect. Mobile home only ( space rent will be included in the mortgage ) I know some are doing investing in the entire park. I'm not there yet.. but would like to.  Thank you.

@Angel Tovar If you go this route, it's best to check zoning first to make sure the piece of land you're working with is zoned for mobile homes as well. In many residential neighborhoods within the city, usually they are not allowed if not there already. 

Usually, it's just a matter of contacting your local zoning department and asking. They'll need the address and legal description of the property to look things up. From there, you'll get a better idea of what you can and cannot do with that specific piece of land. 

Hope that helps!

Thank you @Rachel H.! The mobile home that I am interested in is already in the MHP. I would be purchasing the MH and leasing the lot space, having the tenant pay.

I have friends and students doing this in CA. Make sure the park manager is on your side. Make sure he/she allows rentals and make sure you cashflow enough. Remember that lot rent will go up every year!

Thanks @Ryan Thomson. Once I have my first project I’m looking on investing out of state and scale. Hope to connect with you in the future.
