Lastly, if this is a big real estate company it does not sound like they are doing things by the book. It does not sound like they are even doing things ethically. I would absolutely encourage you to reach out to this company to work out things amicably.
Her last call to him was he had two weeks to get it done or she was filing an eviction. Is she able to file a eviction because the title does say she still owns it? We are actually hopeful when he gets a 3 day notice he will handle the title. However, She may have to follow up with the actual eviction. I’ve been watching an abandoned mobile home for over a year now. I believe the property owner and mobile home owner are different people because I have seen the eviction notice that appears to be the case.
Correct Title, Incorrect Owner.
They will likely point you in the right direction moving forward. This is definitely not the first time this is happened and it will certainly not be the last. It does not sound like there is anyone fighting you for this home and there is definitely a procedure, fees, and paperwork that is required to get the ownership in your name. I’m not sure which state you are located in however you will absolutely want to talk to your local states manufactured housing department. I would explain the situation as a “hypothetical situation” when you are speaking to the clerk.
Thank you for the detailed message as this makes it easier for me to answer your questions. Well, I bought a trailer 2 years ago and it took. I very recently found out that my trailer is a ’93 but my title states it’s an ’80.
Don't Let Mobile Homes Cause You Trouble
However if you are not able to find any pertinent details of the mobile home in a title may not be able to be found or transferred to you. However this does not mean you can still not controlled the property. In the situation a bill of sale to use would be helpful as well. There are definitely a few other things to consider however I hope that this helps and points you in the right direction moving forward.

This is of course assuming that the mobile home does not have any liens. I say this because if there was a bank lien then the bank would normally step up and pay the lot rent and foreclose on the home to get the title back into their control. So assuming that the mobile home is free and clear then the mobile home park should have no problem filing for “abandonment” in obtaining a new mobile home title in their names. From this point the mobile home park with then sell the title from their name over to you as the new owner. It is very odd and a little suspicious if a mobile home park sells a mobile home without a title and simply via a “bill of sale”. If you’re running into the situation nowadays definitely reach out to me because there are number of additional questions to be considered before moving forward on this deal.
Abandoned Manufactured Homes
However if you are not able to find any of this information then you may not be able to locate this particular mobile homes identification numbers. I hope this helps and points you in a good direction moving forward. Hi there hoping you can answer a question for me. I live in Florida and bought a single wide mobile home through a mobile home park, apparently is a lost title situation. Former owner sold to me through a bill of sale and mobile home park said they will get title for me. There are other people in same situation as me in park.

It sounds like you have done everything possible and realistic to help them out in this situation. If you have a signed title with your son signature on the sellers line then by all means you can likely transfer the home into your ownership. However at the time of transfer the state will likely ask you to pay these back taxes. The next step would be to contact your states mobile home title transferring department. Let them know you are a buyer looking to purchase a mobile home and you have the VIN and would like to know what paperwork is needed to transfer the home into your control.

I very much regret to hear about the situation and headache you are going through. After listening to your comment it absolutely sounds as if the seller was extremely negligent or downright misleading when it came to the fact that she “definitely had” the title in her possession. I also agree that if she is the owner of record and the home is 100% free and clear, it would be extremely easy for her to receive a duplicate title from the state. For this reason I definitely agree with you that there is something very fishy going on.

I very much regret to hear that you are having these issues. It definitely sounds like one thing led to another and another and another. In my opinion and experience I do not think that you’re going to get any money from anyone to help with getting this off of your land. You could potentially speak with an attorney on this however this may cost even more money. When it comes to removing a mobile home from your land, you have a few different options. You can demo it and have it removed in pieces, or put it in a few dumpsters, or have someone pull it off and bring it to the dump.
In short, in most states there is no real way to find out what the home has previously been purchased or resold for. I believe that that is the information that you are looking for. If you are looking for different information about the property besides what it previously bought and sold for them please feel free to write back and let me know. If you have any additional follow-up questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out any time as well.
Call the state to find out who the current owner of this home is and if there are any current liens on the property. From this point you should have a better understanding of the ownership of the home. I hope this all helps and begins pointing you in the right direction. If you have any follow-up questions or concerns or I did not fully answer your question please never hesitate to write back any time.
However if you are able to provide a serial number or VIN that would be ideal. You could then try to understand who the current owner is, if taxes are current, and if there any current liens. Also address the mobile home is currently located in the one the state has as well.
I’m guessing that somebody sold you a mobile home that was really not there is to sell. Let me know if you have any specific questions with regards to this. If the park is willing to file for abandonment to get the title and then transferred over to you, that would be excellent. That would give you clear title and when the home goes to resell it will be worth more money because you can show clear ownership and that is valuable. This scenario is the most common hurdle you will see as a used mobile home investor.
