everything i have heard  in the past, you need to buy those homes, then resel them to the tenants, l would be worried about the seller taking them all out

most important thing is talk to the park owner, they can make your life miserable, then do what @Rachel H. said

good luck @Matt Speer

@Timothy Albright, mobile homes in parks can be a wonderful investment long or short term, lots of landlords in my area only rent trailers, give them a try cause everybody else is believing that mobiles are a bad investment is great for business, they are the real affordable housing

in Virginia you just have to deal with the DMV, it takes 3-4 months to get the title

That made no sense to me either, that’s exactly what I thought when I heard about it, as you know there are many different exit strategies in real estate, some are not always about buying at the cheapest price, when you are working with or bidding with many different peoples money you can run the price up in order to insure you get the properties you want no matter the cost, like the big companies that buy up real estate all over the country they will pay higher prices for it if they can get more homes hoping there are some really good deals in the mix

Hello @Greg Moran, 3-4 of them are going to the court house steps and actually bidding against each other making it look like they driving up the price to buy the house, they are actually working together after they buy the house to rehab and sell it.

Most people in our area stay away from court house auctions because of this, it use to be a good source to buy properties but not anymore

I would go with driving 4 dollars or direct mail since all of this takes work which most investors do not want to do to find the deals

I would not bother with the court steps in this area unless you go in the outter areas around Roanoke, lots of collusion going on in this area with other investors corrupting the system

You will be much better served working with an investor that will do driving for dollars, direct mail or probate leads at the court house

In our experience most all investors are always looking for the low hanging fruit 

Good luck

I would let it play out and call his bluff, most park owners think because they own the land they can tell you what to do with your home and how it looks, if it persists just pull home out or tell him you are going to sell and move out 

Good luck
