I asked a mobile home park manager the approximate time a home is on the market and he said 3-4 months is typical.

Is the mobile home attached to a piece of land or are you just buying the mobile home by itself?

I've never bought a mobile home, but as I understand it, it works like an automobile and with automobile sales in LA, the owner has to sign a bill of sale and the title in the presence of a notary.

Here's my own experience:A year ago I moved from Atlanta to Seattle area and rented a little mobile home in the country for 2 weeks, so I could look for something more permanent.The 2nd day a neighbor told me that the 'Carnation massacre' happened on the property next to it.

If your funds are limited you might want to try mobile home rehabs and resales.

We moved on into mobile home parks and still self manage.

To get started on the cheap, you might want to take a look at mobile homes to build up your initial investing nest egg.

If I can snag a mobile home for a great deal that I can sell to an end user, I'll always do it.

A quick background on me: I turned 23 a few weeks ago, seller financed two mobile homes when I was 19 and I currently own a 3-unit apartment building on the North Side of Chicago which I bought in October.

At least it usually works out that way.What I have in mind is mobile marketing.
