What state are these tax deed sales in? That might make a difference.

You probably already know this, but just an FYI: in Arkansas, mobiles homes are considered personal property not real property, unless certain steps have been taken. 

Be sure that the mobile homes are included with the land (and don't have separate mortgages).

I have heard of this happening in Arkansas (where I practice). Here in Arkansas, manufactured homes can be either personal property or part of the real estate, depending on a number of factors. It can be tricky.

Hi @Zachary H. - I am also in Arkansas and would love to follow your progress in this endeavor. There are so many areas that could really use some cleaning up.

Thank you for all of the suggestions and advice!

@BJ Hibbard  What do you think about the Searcy, AR area for owning rental properties?

For those of you interested in investing in Arkansas, be sure to watch the tax deed sales. The commissioner's auctions start on April 3, 2018. You can pick up some jewels, there - but as always, be sure to do your homework.
