The usual: divorce (especially in a community property state), health problem for you or a family member, uninsured/underinsured catastrophic loss for you or a family member (such as a personal injury car accident), a self-employed tax problem/debt, etc.The less usual: a local water district concluding that the water in the entire area causes leukemia or other cancers and therefore no houses are habitable (which is very possible in some areas of Texas), a prolonged drought that causes the local portable water supply to dry up, a major employer or employers moving out of the area/closing, one tenant (or other person) getting hurt on the property (and getting a multi-million dollar judgment against you), one local tax agency assessing a property tax on your property (I had one try to assess a $100K tax to fund an adjacent highway improvement....), etc.

They often use cheap and anonymous pay-as-you-go mobile phones.

In my city, that mobile home would be worth about 5K.

The biggest change in Real Estate because of technology will be/is MOBILE DATA and SMART PHONE APPLICATIONS.

I have two questions: first I have seen lots with mobile homes and the mobile was never transfered to the present owner is that worth messing with & what to do?

Why mobile homes?

I am seeing very good deal flows..stuff normal people can not get access to ( self storage, mobile park homes,  hotels/extended stays in the shale belt states. apt complex in hot areas ( TX, ATL ) .. just to name a few.  

In my current area mobile home seem to be very popular.

iFunding is excited to announce the launch of the first real estate crowdfunding app for mobile phones.

I have looked at (on paper) some mobile home parks in Cheraw and they seemed like really good opportunities.
