In Lufkin a dealer has this ad up for a New MH for $40K , delivered (but not set up)http://nacogdoches.craigslist.org/reb/5405774303.h...In my area a new Single Wide set up is running over $50K.If the Mobile's are less than 10 years old, you might not have that many problems.  8-12 years are when Water Heaters start to fail, and MH Water Heaters can cost more than regular ones.  

Don't know the terms of the offer or if an agent was engaged in the transaction, but this is a case where DIY fails due to insufficient understanding.The offer should have NOT been on a standard residential form, but used a Commercial Property FormThat form gives the opportunity to require the seller [x]  To deliver the property vacant.OR on the standard form, to add that contingency Without that, the BUYER is required (in Calif at least) to perform a NO Fault Eviction and that means relocation fees will be awarded to the tenant.I fear this was a DIY purchase and you're on the hook for the consequences.

I believe that most flippers do not intend to deliver a house that will fall apart in 30 days.

Option 2 saves you money as you eliminate the HML points and interest.However...if you are going to be flipping on an ongoing basis it might be a good idea to establish a relationship with a Hard Money Lender who could help you finance further flips and help you grow.Unless of course your deliver big on this first flip and your family love the cash and agree to finance more projects for you. 

As a buy&hold investor, I'm sorry to break it to you, but unless you can deliver a clear title with title insurance at coe, I could not make an offer.

If you get a deal on paper, ask to do a estoppel agreement between you and the current tenants to know what they have agreed, what the landlord has promised and may not have delivered or things not in writing.

Part of me wants to work with him, but if it wasnt them, id have delivered a pay or quit notice today.

When the property being purchased at auction still has people in it, what form do you deliver to the owners telling them they must vacate the property? 

Wholesaling is good as he said, but the deal you deliver has to be a deal, or your customer base will vanish.
