What if there are Items in The Mobile Home that Need to Be Repaired?
Many mobile home purchase agreements are drawn up showing the mobile home sold “as is”. This means that the seller is more than likely aware of items that may be in need of repair, but has not agreed to have these things fixed. It is in your best interest to get in contact with at least 2 different contractors to get an estimate on what the repairs would cost. If the repairs are extensive, your agent or realtor should contact the listing agent to see if the seller will complete the repairs or reduce the price of the mobile home to cover the cost of the repairs. If this is not acceptable to the seller, you should find another mobile home to purchase. The last thing you want to do is spend money on your investment, only to have to spend countless more dollars fixing up your mobile home to make it structurally sound and livable. There may be a mobile home right down the street, or around the corner, in the same price range, that is not in need of repairs.
