Post: Selling a Mobile Home with Owner Finance what do I need to do?

I brought a mobile home from my parents that they live in for over 22 years. The Home is in good shape they had to move out because the mobile home park they live in was shutting down. I got it to move to a new mobile home park and told the landlord I wanted to sell it with me doing the owner finance to someone looking to own there own home.  I heard on an earlier BP podcast that someone did this full time. 

My question is what kind of agreement do I need to do to make sure I am following all the right laws? Do I need to put insurance on the property? 

Post: Question on the best path forward

Hello, my name is Justin. I have a question on what is the best path forward to start investing in real estate. A little background information last November my parents got a letter in the mail saying that the trailer park they were in was closing down. They have lived there for around 22 years, I grew up in the park and it not like a regular trailer park. They live on almost an acre lot and mostly older people live there. The letter said by April 30 they had to move out. I got in touch with my mortgage broker and ask if I could buy a house for my parents to move into they would just pay the mortgage, insurance, and taxes. He said I had to have 15% to 20% down and six months of payments in reserve which I do. We have look from November to now and haven't found them anything in their price range. My broker came back saying why don't we just let them move into our house and we find another house and use an FHA loan it would be easier and cheaper. I and my wife agree to let my parents move into our house now here is where my question comes in. We are looking at three options

1. Buy another house using an FHA loan our monthly payments on our new house would almost be the same. Around $800 a month with taxes and insurance include.

2. Move there trailer to a mobile home park and live in their trailer lot rent is around $350 a month. Save money to buy assets. 

3. Buy a camper trailer and put in our back yard and live in their while saving money to buy assets. Monthly payment around $175

Hello, Everyone

My name is Justin I am from Savannah, GA, and I new to the bigger pockets forums. I am a commercial truck driver going of two years now. I first got interested in real estate by listening to the Dave Ramsey Show. I and my wife paid off all debt and save up our emergency fund, we got our finances in control and are now looking to start investing.  

For the past couple of months, I have been reading books and I have been listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcast. I would like to learn more about investing in rental properties and in buying and holding plan. 

I am excited to meet other investors and learn more about real estate investing. I look forward to learning and making friends on here.
