I wish it was that simple. I have been using craigslist for a long time never had a problem. Got a flag maybe once a month no biggie can't figure it out for the life of me? I have followed their rules, and guidelines. Can't figure it out. Thanks again. I guess if you haven't had it happen you wouldn't know what I am talking about because it won't let me in at all, under either of my two accounts. Not doing out of the ordinary.

Hey,

I now have two accounts on hold at CL I am wondering how do I set up other accounts? Do I need to change my ISP or how do I continue to use CL? I have a dynamic isp address. Just looking for a solution.

Thank you

Dediced to kill it this afternoon. After more research it was going to cost about 6k to do. Got an awesome education and thank you everybody for your input. :wink:

That would be great I am up for just about anything at this point. Its an opportunity for everybody to win. Thanks

Its a 1980s model no money is owed and it is ready to go. Yes it needs work but the owners just want it gone some guy about two months ago said he would take it and never came back thats why I am having an opportunity.

Anyway Its to much work for them they have too many other projects going to be bothered. The owner owns 13 body shops in the area and is very reputable.

If anybody else has some suggestions let me know I will even throw you a bone in that if you can help me get a deal done with this I will give we will split the profit. Fair enough?

Well lets see I kinda did. It going to cost $1400 to move it at least, then I need a place to put it having no luck. After that it needs to be set up and I need a building permit which could take three months and approxiamtely another $4-6k just to set it all up. So we are loooking at about $7,500 before any cash flow. Then have to pay for a space. sometimes $400 a month. Repairs would probably be free because I can get all materials for free to do the fix up. I have a source. :wink:

Thinking just get under contract and flip it quick but not sure how to get around that it was posted for free on Craigslist.

Update, I have gotten around the $500 deposit that they said they wanted and would give it back to me after the mobile was moved. I said I wasn't crazy about that. So I would give them daily updates on what I have done in order to get it removed off the property.

I went and measured it and it is alot bigger then I thought it was. Here is the scoop.

Here is the specs on the trailer:
Advantages
It’s 57’ x 24’ put together. It’s about 1368 square feet.
It has brand new kitchen cabinets, (most not installed yet but have been placed on the floor waiting to be put up)
Vinyl Siding. It has triple axles underneath with six tires, with full air in them. It has a brand new roof.
It has new OSB throughout the entire thing. Has a wood burning stove it is already set up through the roof.
Has a dishwasher. It has a stacked washer and dryer. It has some great built ins. Bathrooms there is two, with full tubs are ok and fully functional, faucets all ok but could be replaced.
Things it needs: Disadvantages.
To be moved.To be all set up afterwards. It needs to be completely cleaned out.
All bedroom doors need to be installed.
For some reason they took down one of the bedrooms so it would need to be put back up and would make a perfect 3rd bedroom. Advantage closet is still framed out.
Closets do not have doors
Needs some sheetrock repair. It has been exposed to the elements for a little while so the ceiling sheet rock has a little mold on it.
Needs a new counter it doesn’t have one. Needs a refrigerator and stove.
Needs carpet but there is some rolled up on the floor or some kind of floor covering.
Needs a 4’x5’ window replaced.
1 tongue needs to be reattached.
My thought on this is should I put it under contract for $10 bucks so I can sell it for $10k and see what offers I get?
Or put it out there for 5k?
Or even 3k?
It has been offered on Craigslist for a bit of time now and nobody has jumped maybe because it is free.
If this thing was fixed up it could easily get $800 - $1100 a month.
What are everybody’s thoughts? Please be as specific as possible I am new to this. Thanks

Thank you for all the input I appreciate it. It will be applied tomorrow.

Now I have an opportunity to get another on for FREE hmm, maybe good problem to have.

I have the opportunity to get my hands on a full sized, 3 bedroom, 2 Bath Doublewide about 1800 sq ft. It needs about two full weekends worth of work, but that’s ok I am not opposed to doing this.

The BEST PART IS ITS FREE.
My questions are:

1) I need to have it hauled? Not sure how to do this or how much its going to cost?

2) Where do I put it? How do I go about doing this? Hmm not sure. I thought about asking the guy that has it if I could rent his land and this way it doesn't have to be moved. About $150.00 a month I am thinking. I think it already has plumbing and electrical there but not sure.

If I move it I could get alot more CASH FLOW per month if its moved to a better area.

3) Does not have a title need to figure this one out?

4) Sewage and electrical how do I hook these things up?

5) Do I need my own lot? What has to be on the lot?

6) Should I sell it for the instant cash?

7) Please share your thoughts I need to get this thing done asap.

8) How do I find out the value? Should I fix it up for the CASH FLOW?

9) Not sure what the hell to do with it any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thank you
