Where to find 10 homes? To move into my park.

Hello BP! 

I am looking to move in about 10 homes into empty lots in my park. I know just Moving the homes into the park will cost a good amount (trucking them in). 

And I'm wondering if anyone has found a good method to find bulk amount of homes/while staying affordable/etc. 

I do work in the insurance industry for commercial truckers, so I have a few connections with Mobile Home Moving trucking companies, and one trucking company even said they move all mobile homes deemed total losses by claims departments in the area,  "which aren't that bad actually if you have someone willing to do slight repairs". 

Thank you for any thoughts/experience you have! The vacant 10 lots at my park would be a lot cooler with homes!

Tim,

Don't rule out contacting manufacturers in your greater area.  They love folks like you. You can buy at wholesale and sell at retail. This also improves the park as new units look great.  

If you don't want to deal with it contact local dealers with an offer to let them set up in your park at no cost.  Set the parameters for them but tell them you'll help them sell them.  They also love park owners.  Plus they take care of financing.  

Jeff
