@Dana Whicker Yes, she said it's really nice & sending me pictures shortly. It is on wheels with skirting. She purchased it for 128k (free and clear), 3BR/2BA, and a little over 1500+ Sq. ft.

Hi, I had a potential client reach out to me and stated that she owns a manufactured home that's in great condition, but it is on her families land (who does not want to put the land up for sale). She is needing to move ASAP and wants to sell the manufactured home. What are options in a situation like this? I was curious are there wholesalers/cash buyers who would even be interested in purchasing just a manufactured home? I would really like to help her, but wanted to see if any of you could give me feedback if this is even do-able or not, and if so what are some solutions that I can give her? Thanks in advance BP Family!

@Sanjeev Advani yes I agree. I told them I could list it at the 155k or an investor could take it off their hands for 90-100k..I doubt I’ll hear back lol..

@Max Gradowitz Thanks for the feedback. I should have mentioned in the original post that I know the numbers given above are not a deal at all. I was more so asking how to make a deal of it and you definitely answered my question as far as the FMV - 6%.

But like you and the others on the post said, with the seller asking for such a ridiculous price I doubt a deal will come of this when I tell her the offer price.

Thank you for the info!

Hello, I am a fairly new Realtor here in Bakersfield, CA. I was contacted this morning by someone who has a duplex that they say is in good condition and both units are currently being rented out. The owners are not wanting tenants to know about the sale and not wanting to list it on the MLS. I told them I could list it and put do not disturb tenants and they are not wanting to do that..& asked if I could send the info to investors I work with.

They are free and clear and asking for $225k. I told them let me run some numbers and get back to them..The neighborhood is more of a class C neighborhood and after checking some comps it looks like it's only $102/sq.ft in that area and would put the FMV at 156-157k for this duplex. A tenant occupied two home on 1 lot just sold on that same street for $147.5k a couple weeks ago. They said the property is in good condition, but I haven't had a contractor go out and see it yet, as I just received the call.

This is my first time being approached with an off market deal and I am wanting to know if there’s anyway I can turn this into a wholesale deal or make a deal of this in some way? Should I ask them if my contractor could go out and see the inside and try to make an offer from there to put it under contract? Or..?

Just wanting some feedback to see if I’m in the right direction or if there are any other tips in a situation like this?

Thanks in advance

@Mike Cumbie Got it. Thank you for this info! 

Hi,

I am a new Realtor, is it true that I have access through the MLS (Bakersfield) to obtain an absentee owner list for free? I have heard this on YouTube and read it online on a few sites. I am aware that the MLS is setup different for each county/state, but if you do have access to this list through the MLS can you let me know the link or site that you click through the MLS you have access to? Just to see if its a common link. Before I purchase this list through Melissa Data I want to make sure this isn't something I have access to for free.

Thank you
