Found a home at a steal. How do I purchase and sell without the title in my name? This is my first go around!

    Get it under a purchase contract and sell it in escrow, assuming that is legal in Texas....

    That is what wholesalers do....they lie to the seller and hope to sell it in escrow......if not ....oh well..to bad for the seller..

    @Veronica Vera You can assign your interest in the deal and/or find a partner or buyer who will take your place. Good luck!

    @Rachel H. I am super familiar with traditinal homes, but not mobile homes. Essentially we are selling a piece of paper?

     @Veronica Vera Yes, it's the same thing except that if it's just the mobile home (not the land); it's treated as personal property not real property. Good luck!

    @Veronica Vera, did you do the deal?  If so, would you care to share?  Or if you didnt, would you care to tell us why?  Very new and trying to learn.

    @Veronica Vera as Rachel said in most if not all states unless the homes wheels have been taken off, the home affixed to land and the tax structure of the mobile has been changed in county records from a mobile home (title) to a permanently affixed home (title and deed) then yes your essentially selling a piece of paper.
