Seller Financing For Mobile Home Parks

Property Prophets ·

2026/08/01

Send us Fan Mail A park owner tells you their mobile home park is worth top dollar. Your math says it is not even close. So what do you do next without burning the relationship or wasting a week chasing a fantasy? We walk through two real seller calls that show how we handle high asking prices, find the real reason someone wants out, and use a simple valuation framework to stay disciplined. We start with the process: training a VA to talk to mobile home park owners, pull the basics, an...

Mobile Home Move Day

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/31

Send us Fan Mail A mobile home deal can look “easy” on paper until you’re standing in a giant park watching a crew pull skirting, disconnect systems, and prep a house to roll. We’re on-site with Travis Wells as he buys a newer manufactured home after spotting a simple “For Sale” sign, then locks it up with no money down using subject-to financing. You’ll hear the real numbers behind the note, why taking over payments can beat getting a new loan, and what “sub-to” actually means when the home ...

Highest And Best Use Thinking

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/31

Send us Fan Mail A mobile home park in the middle of a big city sounds like a straightforward park underwriting problem, until you look up and realize the entire corridor is turning into retail. I’m under contract on a messy, grandfathered park with utilities in place and commercial activity all around it, and I’m not excited because it’s a “park deal.” I’m excited because it forces the question most investors skip: what’s the highest and best use of this land? I walk you through my re...

The Tiny Home Move Behind The Scenes

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/29

Send us Fan Mail Everybody loves the post that says “I bought a tiny home” and “we won.” We wanted to talk about what that actually looks like when you’re the one sweating in the Texas heat, hauling cinder blocks, coordinating a mover, and cleaning up someone else’s leftover mess so you don’t damage your reputation with the RV park owner. We walk you through a real tiny home move from start to finish: meeting the mover on-site, pulling dozens of blocks, adding wheels, loading up scrap and ol...

Filling A Half-Empty Mobile Home Park

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/28

Send us Fan Mail A park can be in a downtown, high foot-traffic location and still sit half empty, and the reason often has nothing to do with demand. We break down a real mobile home park consulting visit where the outside looked solid (new fence, strong “for rent” banner, clean signage), yet occupancy stalled at 50%. The key was getting past assumptions and listening for the real objections people share at the point of sale, not the excuses we tell ourselves after the fact. We start with t...

Never Decide In Fear

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/27

Send us Fan Mail Private investigators walked into my workplace and asked a question I will never forget: “Have you been stealing vegetable oil from restaurants?” I was young, finally steady in a career, and determined not to slip back into the trouble I grew up around. I had not stolen anything, but the fear hit anyway, and it pushed me into a decision that still teaches me something years later. I tell the full story from the beginning: working as an engineer in the oil field, making stron...

Mobile Homes Beat Rentals;

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/26

Send us Fan Mail Spending $200,000 to $300,000 just to maybe clear a couple hundred bucks a month feels normal in real estate but it shouldn’t. We dig into a different path: mobile home investing built around simple cash flow math, faster deal timelines, and fewer “surprises” than the average rental house. If you’ve ever looked at a property that “cash flows” on paper and then watched repairs and financing costs eat the profit, this conversation is for you. I walk through the rule I us...

Own The Dirt

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/25

Send us Fan Mail You can spend years chasing “the perfect deal,” or you can learn the few mental models that make mobile home park investing simple, repeatable, and profitable. We’re fresh off the final edits of my new book on how to get your first mobile home park, and I’m pulling back the curtain on the lessons that actually move the needle when you’re trying to buy your first park. We start with the core idea that changes how you underwrite everything: you own the dirt, not the homes. Whe...

Buying Mobile Homes With Title Problems

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/24

Send us Fan Mail Most investors hear “no clear title” and immediately walk away. We did the opposite and I’ll tell you exactly why. After putting a mobile home under contract with a messy ownership situation, I break down how I evaluate title risk in manufactured home investing, when a bill of sale can be acceptable, and when it’s worth doing the extra work to get true clear title so the deal stays financeable and easy to resell. We get practical about the paperwork, especially for Texas mob...

Mobile Home Deal Breakers

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/23

Send us Fan Mail That “great deal” in the photos can be the fastest way to buy yourself a nightmare. We drove out to a discounted 1996 mobile home that looked clean on paper, only to find the real story in the first five minutes: exterior wood rot, clear signs of water intrusion, and soft spots in the floor that screamed subfloor damage. The price was low, but the risk was high and that’s where most new mobile home investors get burned. We break down the mobile home due diligence checklist w...

Mobile Home Park Deals Start With Underwriting

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/22

Send us Fan Mail Most people don’t lose money in mobile home park investing because the asset class is broken. They lose money because they buy wrong, believe bad pro formas, and skip the unsexy work that keeps a deal alive after closing. We’re unpacking what that looks like in the real world, from the first conversation with a would-be buyer to the exact reasons parks turn into cash-flow nightmares. We talk through how we approach mobile home park underwriting so you can quickly tell what i...

How To Spot A Bad Deal Fast

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/21

Send us Fan Mail A broker asks why we’re not interested in a mobile home park deal and then gets mad at the answer. That tension turns into a practical mini-masterclass on real estate underwriting, because the fastest way to avoid a bad investment isn’t more confidence, it’s better math. We break down a 12-unit mobile home park listed around $975,000 that only brings in about $5,000 a month and has no clear value-add path: no extra land, no room to add units, and tenant-owned homes that limi...

Finding Seller-Financed Mobile Homes Fast

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/20

Send us Fan Mail A “for sale” sign in a mobile home park window can be worth more than a week of online scrolling, and we prove it by doing the work live. I’m driving the rows, calling owners, and making offers in real time, including a deal structure that protects cash and still gets the seller to say yes. If you’ve been trying to figure out how to find motivated sellers, buy mobile homes creatively, or build a consistent lead pipeline for mobile home investing, this is the boots-on-the-grou...

Real Estate Partnerships That Actually Make Sense

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/19

Send us Fan Mail Everybody wants a partner in real estate until the partnership becomes the deal’s biggest problem. We get honest about why most partnerships are a mistake, how investors give away equity too quickly, and what to do instead when you’re feeling unsure about money, experience, or the unknowns that come with buying property. I share the two rules I use before I ever consider a real estate partner: they need to be smarter than me in the exact asset class or they need to bri...

Stop Chasing Bad Mobile Home Park Deals

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/18

Send us Fan Mail Most mobile home park deals that get blasted around social media or shoved into a buyer’s inbox are not deals at all, they are just listings with wishful pricing. We talk about the frustration behind that, but more importantly, we give you a simple way to stop wasting time on parks that will never pencil. If you have ever heard “it makes $10K a month” and felt tempted to chase it without real numbers, this is your reset. We break down a quick mobile home park underwrit...

Mobile Home Park Hacking

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/17

Send us Fan Mail Divorce can make you think smaller. I went the other way. When I needed a place to live, I didn’t sign a lease or lock myself into a new mortgage. I bought a mobile home park, then bought a better one and moved into the on-site cabin. That decision became my first real taste of “mobile home park hacking,” and it set the direction for everything I do in real estate today. I walk through how the first park was cash flowing but located in a spot I didn’t want to live, and...

Delayed Gratification Wins

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/15

Send us Fan Mail You can tell who’s serious by what they’re willing to do when nobody’s clapping. Lying backstage between pre-judging and finals at a bodybuilding show, I connect the discipline of competition prep to what actually creates wealth in real estate and business: delayed gratification, long feedback loops, and doing the boring work with precision. We talk about why chasing quick money feels productive but often keeps you stuck, and why bigger goals demand patience and a longer tim...

How To Buy Tiny Homes Without Getting Burned

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/14

Send us Fan Mail Wiring money for a tiny home can feel like a gamble if you don’t have a process, and I’ve learned the hard way that “good deals” can still bleed you with moving costs, bad paperwork, or sellers who change their mind. I’m Travis Wells, and I’m walking you through how I just lined up two new tiny homes at steep discounts and how I protect myself so I can keep buying consistently without cash stress. You’ll hear the exact checkpoints I use before I accept an assignment from a w...

The $60,000 Text Message

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/10

Send us Fan Mail One text message and one phone call can change the economics of a real estate deal, if you know how to use due diligence and timing. We tell the full story of a small 24-unit mobile home park that sat on the market for over a year, then got locked up on seller financing and turned into a stronger deal after inspections revealed a costly surprise. We break down the practical side of mobile home park due diligence: bringing in a plumber to scope lines, getting an electri...

One More Question

Property Prophets ·

2026/07/09

Send us Fan Mail A tiny home owner says they want $12,000 and most buyers stop at the price. I don’t. I ask one more question, then another, until the deal stops being a “purchase” and starts becoming a problem-solving plan that creates monthly cash flow. That mindset shift is what turns an ordinary lead into something you can repeat again and again. I walk you through a real tiny home deal from the first text to the final structure, including how a bird dog brought it in, why the sell...
