I am a beginning investor in Mobile Homes. What are the best methods in finding the good deals. I have heard of newspaper articles, word of mouth and drive bys. What am I looking for when I drive by. and What should I say in a newspaper article.
I placed an ad in a weekly free paper looking for fixer upper or good 14 wides about a week ago. would move to my lots. Figured 20-25 calls by now. Have only gotten 3, all from sellers upside down asking 17,000-25,000. Weird huh? Couple weeks ago I ran a 3 day ad for $25. advertising a mobile home lot for rent. 5 calls, all thought they had found a mobile home to rent for $170 a month. Stupid huh?
