Congrats and great find, Robert! Since it was for sale by owner, did you use an agent to handle the paperwork, or will the lender handle the legal part of getting the property into your name?

Hey Robert, sounds like an interesting deal! Mobile homes can be great flips if you understand the demand in your market.. but a couple of things jump out. Your spread looks decent on paper $150K purchase with a $200K sale but with only $5K in rehab, I’d be asking what exactly needs to be done and if that’s truly enough to maximize value. Have you factored in holding costs, closing costs, and potential surprises? Even on light rehabs, things like soft flooring, outdated wiring, or hidden plumbing issues in mobile homes can eat into margins fast. Also, financing mobile homes can be tricky depending on whether it's on leased land or real property.. are you running into any lender hesitations? Curious, what’s your exit plan if the sale price doesn’t hit $200K? Are you open to renting it out, or is this strictly a flip?

@Robert Deets If you have before and after pics you'd like to post once the project is done, that would be great. Interested in seeing the final result. Thanks for sharing! 

My biggest success so far has been helping my investors succeed—locating great deals for them and assisting in making profitable decisions. While I haven’t started my own flip yet, that’s my goal for 2026, and I’m excited to take that next step. What about you? What’s been your biggest success in real estate?

Hey Robert, welcome to the community! It sounds like you have a great strategy in place and a strong foundation with your LLC and creative financing approach. The ABCs of Real Estate Investing and BRRRR are both great frameworks for building long-term wealth.

Are you currently focused on single-family or multifamily for your next deal? Looking forward to connecting and hearing more about your journey!
