I have been getting a few e-mails for requests on buying Mobile Homes. This one chapter and the laws within have brought me many mobile homes. I hope this answers some of the questions asked.

Happy Wobbly Box Hunting.

By Successful I assume you mean that I make more money then I could working a job. If that is true.

I have No college. I would never waste my time with it. I do not see it as a degree of superior intelligence at all. You waste more than half of your time studying worthless topics that do not even closely relate to what you have an interest in. I will put a good mentor at the top of a list to lead to success. If you can find an honest mentor that does more than sell his darn CD’ in the hopes of building an army of working ants that will find homes and be too afraid to pull the trigger so they send the home to him as a referral. Then you can find great success. Just remember law # 1. NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER.

I believe I am successful. I do know as well that I am not afraid of 16 hours days. So I may not make much at all if I divide it up by the hours.

There are MANY mobile home parks, if the park is not Investor friendly. I simply find another. If the park does not want to work with me. It is there loss not mine, as there actuals drop. They need me, I do not need them.

Any park that does not allow investors to rent in them is becuase they are trying to buy all the homes for themselves. At least that is true in the Houston, TX area.

In this aream there are parks that will pay for the move on the mobile home into there park 100%. They know odds are once it is there it will never leave.

Hot tubs, Blow up dolls, Sex toys, Drugs, You name it. A lot of good beer steins etc. I see a lot of these as I do evictions for the banks and regular investors like us.

I have had several free homes that worked out well. I remember 2 double wide homes I got for free and slo in under 1 week for 7k profit.

I need one of those again to pay for my hot tub!!!

I do not think there is enough money in wholesaling mobile homes. I would wholesale sticks and bricks homes. Take the money an buy yourself a MH investment.

Don't worry about what people, say worry about what they do. Did you break the lease agreement when you moved out? Of was the lease expired?

Did you leave the home in broom clean condition?

Christian is 100% correct. all letter need to be sent Regular Mail and Then Certified mail. What is the property code for you state?

In Texas. Texas property code

Sec. 24.005. NOTICE TO VACATE PRIOR TO FILING EVICTION SUIT

"The notice to vacate shall be given in person or by mail at the premises in question. Notice in person may be by personal delivery to the tenant or any person residing at the premises who is 16 years of age or older or personal delivery to the premises and affixing the notice to the inside of the main entry door. Notice by mail may be by regular mail, by registered mail, or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the premises in question. If the dwelling has no mailbox and has a keyless bolting device, alarm system, or dangerous animal that prevents the landlord from entering the premises to leave the notice to vacate on the inside of the main entry door, the landlord may securely affix the notice on the outside of the main entry door"

Excellent, Your first of many victories. I love throwing out dead beat tenants. I see them as thieves and nothing more. I have 7 properties I have to file against tomorrow. $900 in courts fees gone. Oh well I know I will win in the end.

Thanks god I live n Texas. Or property code is quite different. I would have him out in 5 days if he appealed. Or if I was luck a forceable eviction. My favorite the writ of possession.

God bless Texas
