The remedy is eviction, not ejectment. Eviction is easier and faster. As far as the tenant owning their own mobile home, look at Alabama Code Sections 35-12A-1 through 35-12A-15, which provides the remedies for selling mobile homes that are abandoned. A mobile home is abandoned if the tenant has been evicted from the lot but does not remove their mobile home.


I did not consider a Tennant being evicted from the lot. Thanks for sharing this.
So I looked into 35-12A-1, this seems to deal with Tenants who have abandoned the Mobile Home/Trailer, either TOH or POH, and not with Tenants who are still inhabiting the Mobile Home/Trailer. 


 You evict them first. They get removed from the premises. Chances are if they can't pay the lot rent, they also can't pay the thousands it takes to get the home moved.

We did the same and financed some homes from Legacy in 2022. We had them delivered to a park in Auburn, Alabama. I would not reccomend them at all in you are in an area of with alot of moisture or rain. I would not due business again due to the nature of the financing terms and the home quality.


 I am in Athens, AL and was looking at using them for a 25-pad park. Can you tell us more about the water damage you got? For the financing, what was the issue? Were you not able to sell them before the two year mark up?

Post: Refinancing a VA loan from a 6.045% to a 5.125%. Do I wait for later?

Refinancing a VA 30 year home loan from a 6.045% to a 5.125%. Should I wait or should I do it now and not try to time the market?

It would save about $230/month and involves about 5k in closing costs and fees. Recoup time is roughly 22 months. I'll save about $82k as is, but I am wondering if it's worth it to wait or not.

Quote from @Dave Rav:

Good stuff.  Always nice when you can save on materials.  I've had several wins that way; nice as it offsets those losses that are bound to happen with repair expenses!

So, how big is this park (acreage, and # pads)?


 It will eventually cover about 20 acres and have roughly 25 pads. All the acreage is not perfect for development. Maybe about 13-15 acres with some harsh terrain, streams, dense woods I don't want to cut down ever. Slow rolling it out with these first few, then moving on to the next phase.

Quote from @Chris Seveney:

First off, how do you know if someone is undocumented. Just because someone does not have a social security number does not mean they are undocumented. I know many who do not have a social security number and they are not undocumented. 

You do a background check on everyone and anyone. 


Do you put ITINs in instead of SSNs for background checks? Seriously asking because I've never ran across it before.

The card actually comes to me. They never see the card. I get the card and cut it up immediately.  The good payment history transfers to their credit profile. 

@JD Martin

got it.. But is this not in a big way defrauding banks  lenders or property owners managers when they pull credit on this person.  its NOT real its your stellar credit not theirs ??  I wonder if that is legal or not or at the very least not ethical or moral.. Just sayin.. if shoe is on the other foot and your running credit on someone and dont realize its not real ?? 


 Not defrauding the banks or anything. You can add AUs. People have been adding family and friends for years to their tradelines to help them establish credit at 18 etc. 

fico 8 actually can tell you which tradelines are primaries etc. Fico 10T actually goes back and scores off a trailing amount of months etc. So the tradeline game is and will change. But it has been advantageous to others for years. But I definitely respect your POV.


 What companies do you use? I have 5 cards over 20k that could be rented as tradelines. 


 I started out with GFS group but right now Rob Hughes at Priority Tradelines has been the man!

let me know if you need their info


 Yes, I'd love to get in on this. It's like having lazy equity in any other asset. I need it to start making some money for me. lol

I just backed out of deal partly because of this and partly for other reasons related to the septic. It always gives me cause for concern because there is not a lot of recourse if they damage the property after closing. They've made tens of thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands after a sale. They can hit a monthly rate on a hotel if they need. haha

Preparing to break ground on a new park this week. Originally had an order in for 3x 8' culverts that would be roughly $547 each because no one had them in stock. The county engineers had a specific requirement for this driveway with it being so small. I wound up finding 3 from a person who had ordered the wrong size and couldn't get a refund that just happened to be the very specific small size I needed with an arch. We worked furiously over the weekend to cancel the other order before delivery could happen. Getting to scoop up the others ones for $150 a piece tomorrow. Over $1000 saved before the project even starts. I love it.

This is for MHPs- I can send you my appraisal from the last one I bought Oct 2023. The bank used a comparable sales model. I personally use the income approach. NOI x GRM with enough room to debt service AS IS without expansion, infill, etc. Too many sellers are asking for prices based on the park being at market rent for 100% occupancy. I underwrite it in its current AS IS condition with current rents. Not what they'd like it to be or what the market rent is.
