I am looking at a property this week that is waterfront and has an older doublewide mobile home on it (24 x 60).  

Hi Everyone, I am new to mobile home park investing.

Is it possible to get a FHA loan for a mobile home park if you plan on living in one of the homes for a year?  

It worked out, I am 10 years in, 10 more to go and I am retired....But, after learning what I know now from reading on here and reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" I had other doors I could have went through...Its not how much money you make, or what your occupation is, its what you do with that money...I could have easily grabbed two jobs and started off investing in mobile homes right there around my town that I grew up in, and eventually worked my way up to residential housing...Mobile homes are so much more cheaper to get into and they are very popular around my hometown...I currently have 4 properties and plan on grabbing one more house before I start paying them down.

if you buy your personal home using similar criteria as your rentals then there is nothing really limiting mobility because you can easily rent your personal home.

PS - if you're working with a custom builder, and depending on the types of trees you have on the lot, you might consider hiring a mobile mill to come in and mill the trees for you.

With oil & gas in retreat right now and Exxon-Mobil moving up to The Woodlands, we need to see where the market settles.  

 I'm  about buy John Federo real estate investing in mobile homes and I am searching for deals in southern  California but I can't find any has anybody found deals in Southern California for $4000 to $5,000 is it possible to do his investing in Southern California

Just would not be able to mobilize them quickly enough to Rochester in an emergency.

Just thought I'd share this video:Hollywood director Tom Shadyac trades his 17,000-square foot mansion for a mobile homeVery cool!
