- 1). Determine the characteristics that are essential to your mobile home purchase, and write them down. Making a list of these essential requirements will simplify your search process and cut down the amount of mobile homes that you put time and energy into visiting.
- 2). Spend some time looking into mobile home parks. You may find a mobile home that is placed in a mobile home park that you do not like. Depending on the area, some mobile home parks are exclusive to older, retired individuals, which may not be the environment of your choice. This will also narrow down your selection process.
- 3). Look into online mobile home listings. The Internet is a great resource for free listings of items for sale. You can find mobile homes for sale on craigslist.com, mhbo.com, and manufacturedhomesource.com, to name a few. These are free resources for the use of both buyers and sellers and give you the opportunity to view photos and specifics before ever going to visit the mobile home itself. If you prefer to buy from a manufacturer rather than an independent seller, find a local manufacturer and make an appointment to view their mobile homes.
- 4). Contact the owners of the homes that you are interested in. Once you have decided on a few mobile homes that you are interested in purchasing, make phone calls to the owners or manufacturers of those homes and arrange an appointment to view the mobile home. Your in-person impression of the mobile home is vital to the purchase, and you should never purchase a mobile home sight unseen. You are now well on your way toward making a mobile home purchase!
