Fresh paint. But what are you actually buying?
Mobile home investing starts with the questions a fresh coat of paint can't answer. Work through ownership, park rules and repairs with a paperwork checklist, rehab lessons and three instructors' approaches to buying and selling.

The home, the land or a home on rented land? The class compares those models with mobile home parks. Use its paperwork checklist to check title documents, registration, rents due and tax clearance. Match the decal, serial, manufacturer and HUD/HCD details to the records. Start with a list of questions, rather than a stack of paperwork you don't know how to read.
Check who can buy before planning your sale
Put the park's rules beside your purchase plan. What is the space rent? What does buyer approval require? Which repairs and uses are allowed? Work through Andy Teasley's park-buying playbook, then get answers from the specific park. Make those answers part of your resale or rental plan before making an offer.
Build the repair scope before picking paint
Mobile home flipping starts beneath the finishes. Use the rehab lessons to organize your inspection questions around leveling, plumbing, electrical, roofs, HVAC and water heaters. Then work through mobile-home details like subfloors and non-standard windows. Turn those questions, qualified inspections and property-specific estimates into a written scope you can budget.
Know which paperwork your purchase needs
Start with the course's titling-document checklist. For a California home, use it to prepare your HCD questions, then confirm current transfer documents, permits and the responsible authority for the home and proposed work. Outside California, take those questions to the relevant state and local agencies. Work through the requirements for the property you're actually buying.
Work backward from the sale to your offer
Put the expected sale price beside the repair budget, holding costs and selling costs. Use the buying, selling, negotiation and financing lessons to question those assumptions before naming your price. Work through the numbers with the linked deal analysis tool, alongside your title, park and inspection checks. Find related deal analysis and rehab topics in the learning hub.
