Sounds like it’s time to try “rent to own” (aka lease/option).

I’m not sure how much time you have but perhaps you need a little help finding a buyer.
Check with local mortgage companies, especially the small one-office types. Check with the local realtors also. Tell them you are looking for a buyer that they turned down for a mortgage. Here are buyers who can’t qualify for conventional mortgages. They are just the people you are looking for. A small referal fee to these agents will allow them to make a little cash AND feel like a hero.
Tell the agents you may have more MHs in the future. They will likely call with more customers. Like money in the bank, a list of potential buyers can really boost the self-confidence. Most important, don’t give up. Include the lot rents you paid in your purchase price, don’t lose money because it took a little longer than expected to sell.

Perhaps the market in that mhp isn’t very good. If this is the case, you may want to look for another mhp.
Did you try the for sale ad to test the market before the purchase?
