Mobile Home Help!

[Spencer Cuvelier]

Hi all,

There's a mobile home for sale in my area, here are the specs:

- Built in 1975

- 2 beds, 1 bath

- Walls, floors, windows (aside from one bedroom) were remodeled in 2015

- No central air but has window AC installed

- The flooring around the toilet will need to be replace

- Asking for less than $15,000 and seller has the title in hand

I understand I have to submit an application and get approved to purchase a mobile home - am curious to what other due diligence I should/need to do prior to investing in my first mobile home. I'm extremely naïve, this is my first time purchasing a rental property let alone a mobile home. Any comments/questions/concerns will be greatly appreciated - thanks!

a 1975 mobile home is old.  Make sure it has an electrical inspection/updated certificate and find out how much insurance will be.  It is often more expensive for mobile homes.
