Profiting From Mobile Home Parks
By: Kris Koonar

Ways to Profit from a Mobile Home Park or Community

A mobile home without a doubt is the most efficient and feasible housing ever created. But nowadays mobile homes have become less mobile.

These houses are comfortable, large and very luxurious and this is the reason that more than 16 million Americans have chosen to live in mobile homes. Those who invest in the manufactured homes look out for profits and it is not unusual that 25% to 100% profit every year is on record. We enjoy two out of the four sources of profits when we buy and sell mobile homes.

Buy low, Sell high: The best way to earn initial net profit is by buying low and selling high and you can do this by buying the mobile home for cash and then selling it on pre-set terms. However, to do this you need an extra amount of cash at hand and an easy way to get money is to take a loan.

Considering the amount of initial net profit you earn on the sale of mobile homes, you can easily pay the moneylenders a high rate of interest, as much as 11-15%. Once you demonstrate your repayment capability to the moneylenders and convince them that the loan is safe, they are certain to bite the bait.

How To Generate Thousands Of Dollars Per Year Investing In Mobile Homes
By: Kris Koonar

All of us, once in a while, tend to get stuck with a raw deal in real estate investments. While most of us merely have theories and philosophies of real estate investment, only a few have a logical understanding and experience of profitable real estate investment ideas.

Many real estate investors make wrong deals, like paying a high price for a cheap real estate property, or buying in the wrong market, or acquiring property that may require expensive repair and maintenance, or buying property that cannot be easily rented.

Taking all this into account, rather than investing in risky real estate, investing in a mobile home is a safer and more feasible investment idea. Investing in mobile homes is a better option because not only is it economical, but it also has other advantages.

Getting a Secured Mobile Home Loan
By: Derek Rogers

How a Secured Loan Got Us A Mobile Home Of Our Own!

When my wife and I discovered that she was pregnant we became frantic. Where we lived at the time wasn’t exactly the size required for a young family!

We needed a starter home; a place for our child to grow up. We wanted to buy somewhere that wasn’t too big but equally allowed us the space to have a room for our child when she was born.

Getting a mortgage was going to prove difficult as both my wife and I already had bad credit records as a result of student debt and a couple of missed payments. A friend suggested we try to source a secured loan to allow us to get a foot on the property ladder.

Mobile Home Refinancing
By: Andrew Bicknell

For mobile home owners the thought of refinancing does not normally cross their minds.

While they may have some sort of financing in place, usually through the manufacturer or mobile home park in which they live, many do not realize that they can refinance their current loan much the same way as they would if they owned a conventionally built house. Many lenders treat mobile and manufactured homes the same as stick built homes.

There are any number of reasons to refinance your mobile home including consolidating debt, paying college tuition, or even purchasing a car.

Signing Up For A Mobile Home Tax Deduction

Some of us are a bit unfortunate that we may be living in mobile homes. Nothing wrong with that. In fact the government recognizes their needs and gives them some relief too.

People who pay taxes to the local government for having parked their mobile or manufactured homes in that state also come under the purview. Thanks to IRS rules which define a home as a house, co-op, condominium, mobile home, trailer, or even a houseboat. The basic condition for any property to qualify as a home is that it should have sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities. Since mobile homes meet all these conditions they can avail the tax deductions notified by the federal government.

Mortgage interest is the biggest tax deduction available…
