Mobile Home Park Articles & News

In 1996 I informed all my friends and family that I was buying a mobile home park called "Glenhaven" on South I-35 E in Dallas. They all thought I was crazy. Reactions ranged from "you'll lose your down payment" to "you'll get killed".

My first mobile home park deal was $400,000 with $10,000 down and the seller carrying the $390,000 mortgage. My second deal was $62,000 with $5,000 down and the seller carrying the paper.
