How to buy a mobile home.

Buying tips from those who have bought mobile homes or sold theirs.


1. If you don't have a lot of money, look for a home you can afford in the best neighborhood you can find. The reverse - buying the best home in a not-so-great neighborhood - is not a smart decision.

2. Visit the home not just during the day, but also in the evening so you can get an idea of the noise levels and street activities at different times. Make sure you also visit when school is out to get a good idea of the noise level of kids playing.

3. Plan to talk to the neighbors. Ask them what the park management is like. (Would you like to have these people as neighbors?)
