Mobile Home Inspection Prior to Purchase

David Jones

Posted Jul 20 2016, 00:45

Hello, Everyone.  

I am focusing my real estate investment efforts on purchasing, rehabbing and selling mobile homes in the Charleston, SC area and would like to know if there is a standardized checklist for inspecting a used mobile home prior to negotiating a purchase.  Any feedback is appreciated.

You may be able to find some checklists in books that focus on mobile home investing. Good luck!

@Bill Neves Hi Bill, Why not post your checklist publicly on here so we can all benefit from it?

Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of this forum? Would be great if David or Bill could post the list here for everyone else.

@Parker 

@Parker L., I agree wholeheartedly.  However, I never received anything from Bill.  I'd love to share if I had the info.

Howdy

My apologies. Sorry for my absence. I have gone through 6 new laptops (yes 6!) in 2 months. Crashing, hanging up, replacing, tech support, crashing, etc.

Finally I have one that I think will work. Moving to rocks, sticks and cans, if not.

So here is a checklist. Not a standardized checklist per se but...  Here is a plan of what to look for when looking at a mobile home. Not the be all, end all, but works very well.

Enjoy, have fun and yell if you have questions. 

Can't post a file so here's a link...

@Bill Neves The google drive link you posted requires access. Requested the access. Hope you can grant access.

Anyone else who was able to access the checklist, would you be kind enough to post it online for benefit of others. Thanks!
