If I can see the mobile home, I can usually tell you within 24 hours whether I can buy it and what I can pay.
Behind on Lot Rent? Call Me Now.
If you’re behind on lot rent, don’t treat it like a mortgage foreclosure where you assume you have months to figure things out.
Mobile home parks can move fast when rent isn’t being paid.
I can sometimes help work through the situation with the park and figure out whether there’s a way to get the mobile home sold.
But I’m not a miracle worker.
The sooner I know what’s actually happening, the better chance I have of figuring out whether there’s something I can do.
I can work with a problem. I can’t work with a problem nobody tells me about until the last minute.
Here’s How It Works
Tell me where the mobile home is, what you know about it, and what’s going on.
Don’t know the year? Fine.
Don’t have all the paperwork? Fine.
Behind with the park? Tell me.
You don’t need to figure everything out before you call.
I need to see the mobile home.
Don’t fix it first. Don’t clean it up for me. Don’t worry about making it look good.
I want to see it the way it sits.
I look at the mobile home, the condition, the park, what it needs, and what I can realistically do with it.
Then I run the numbers.
If I can see the mobile home, I can usually tell you within 24 hours whether I can buy it and what I can pay.
If the number works for you, we figure out the next step.
If it doesn’t, say no.
It’s your mobile home. You decide.
How Fast Can This Actually Happen?
I’m not going to give you the fake “we close in 24 hours” line you see all over the internet.
Sometimes things can move very quickly.
Sometimes the park, title, paperwork, or another issue takes longer.
What I can usually do quickly is give you an answer.
If I can see the mobile home, I can usually tell you within 24 hours whether I can buy it and what I can pay.
Then we deal with whatever has to happen next.
If the Mobile Home Has Become a Problem, Waiting Usually Doesn’t Improve It
Maybe the payment has become a burden.
Maybe the lot rent keeps coming every month.
Maybe your parent moved out and now you’re stuck dealing with the mobile home.
Maybe you’re relocating.
Maybe it needs repairs you don’t want to make.
Maybe a tenant damaged it.
Maybe you inherited it.
Maybe you already tried selling it and nothing happened.
Whatever the reason, ignoring the mobile home doesn’t make the problem disappear.
The lot rent still comes due.
Repairs usually don’t get cheaper.
An empty mobile home doesn’t improve while it sits.
And if you’re already behind with the park, you may have a lot less time than you think.
Old, Needs Work, Full of Stuff, Behind on Rent? Still Call Me.
It’s old. Age by itself isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker. I’ve bought older mobile homes before. Tell me what year it is if you know. If you don’t, call me anyway.
It needs repairs. Skip them. Roof, furnace, flooring, plumbing, cosmetic work — let me see what it needs before you spend money fixing a mobile home you’re trying to sell.
It’s full of stuff. Don’t spend days cleaning the place out just because you think I need to see it empty. Take the things you want.
In many situations, ordinary furniture, appliances, boxes and household belongings can stay. If there’s something unusual or a major cleanout involved, we’ll talk about it before we make the deal.
Let me see the mobile home first. Don’t turn cleaning it out into another project unless you actually have to.
You’re having problems with the park. That doesn’t automatically kill the deal. Tell me what’s happening. I’ve dealt with parks before.
The worst thing that happens is I tell you it isn’t something I can buy — at least then you have an answer.
I’m Dennis.
I’ve been buying properties since 2004 and have been involved in more than 3,000 house transactions with partners. But this isn’t some giant corporate mobile-home operation — when you call, you’re dealing with me.
I buy throughout Metro Detroit, and I know mobile homes are different from regular houses. The park matters. The title matters. The condition matters. And sometimes the situation surrounding the mobile home matters as much as the home itself.
Sometimes the seller isn’t looking for a lecture about maximizing value — they’re saying, “Dennis, I just need this thing handled.” That’s when I’m usually most useful.
Can I Be Blunt?
If you have a beautiful newer mobile home, plenty of time, and your number-one priority is squeezing every possible dollar out of the sale, I’m probably not your best buyer.
You may make more money selling it yourself to a retail buyer.
I’m an investor.
I need to buy at a price that makes sense for me.
What I offer is:
Speed. Convenience. Certainty.
If that trade makes sense for you, great.
If it doesn’t, don’t sell it to me.
That’s the deal. No bullshit.
Are You Actually Ready to Be Done With It?
Ask yourself one question:
If I still own this mobile home three months from now, am I okay with that?
If the answer is yes, take your time. Maybe you’re not ready to sell.
But if your immediate reaction is:
“Hell no. I want this thing gone.” Call me.
You’re not agreeing to sell it. You’re finding out whether I can buy it and what I can pay.
Get the number. Then decide.
Tell Me About Your Mobile Home
Send me the basics and I’ll get back to you.
Don’t know the year? Don’t have all the paperwork? Don’t know exactly what you owe the park? That’s okay — give me what you know.
