It really helps to know that there is a book that covers mobile home investing in detail.When I originally made this post I was looking for some concrete steps or an action plan for determining if this is a deal, the acquisition and exit strrategy.I'm a pre-foreclosure investor and wholesaler mostly and was interested in how that translates over to mobile homes.I may read the book eventually and may end up passing on the lead.Thank you again for your time.

this one actually came a few weeks ago. it's an interesting story.i was on vacation with my son in florida while my wife stayed back during the xmas holiday to rent out 3 houses. we had just fired our agent who we used to just list and show the houses on the MLS.anyway, while i was in florida i saw a 2k sq ft house in livonia that had an in-ground pool. the house showed super rough and the pics were terrible. it was listed for 189.9ki texted my wife and said "go and buy this house". she called the agent and he said "been on the market for 3 weeks, no calls. has 5 bedrooms".we had been looking for a long time for a larger home for us and she jumped at the chance to see it. it ACTUALLY Has 6 bedrooms, not 5. the listing was wrong.i offered 100k, no inspections. they came back at 132. we settled on 122k, pulled a loan so that we could preserve the rest of the cash for the future purchases. closed 4 weeks later (mid february)ARV on this house is close to 230k.I knew i could not start working on this house until about June. i also knew that it would take about 30-40k to fix it how i want it fixed for us to move in there, so that meant we could move there in august.2 weeks ago we went out to dinner and while driving i had an epiphany. i told my wife, "we will rent this house AS IS, no updates besides filling in the pool for $1,300. rent it for 1 yr, while the MLS dries up". this house updated could rent for $1,800-$2,100 per month.she texted immediately tenants in #4 and offered to them to move in this large house since they need the extra room. they signed a 2 yr lease last week and they are ECSTATIC.I will rent #4 and increase the rent from $1,100 to $1,300 since they have been there for 4 yrs.the tenants already resurfaced the floors at #25, will put pergo in the living room and change carpet upstairs. here's the pool - all 41k gallons of it. 2" pump is about to pump it out.here it is uncovered, pumping away.here is my concrete guy who is filling this pit as i type.the moral of the story.... just have multiple options. and be patient. is it nice to have a huge house so that you can spend 10s of thousands to fill it up with furniture?

Unless you have real concrete evidence that you under-priced your home, I'm going with the majority here and saying you should ask for highest and best and accept whichever one that is.
