Selling a mobile home in a park is the hardest kind of mobile home sale for most people. Traditional buyers often can’t get a loan on a home that sits on rented ground, many investors only want homes with land, and the park has a say in who moves in. That’s why we focus on it.
What makes a park sale different
When your home is in a park or on a rented lot, you own the home but not the ground. In North Carolina, that home is normally titled through the NCDMV and treated as personal property, a bit like a vehicle. A sale involves three parties, not two:
- You, the owner of the home and the title
- The buyer (us)
- The park, which owns the lot and usually has rules about who can own or live in a home there, home age and condition, and what happens when a home changes hands
How we buy park homes
- We talk about the home and the park. Which park, the lot rent, how long you’ve been there, whether you’re current, and anything the park has said to you.
- We look at the home. Condition matters, but so does what the park will accept.
- We check with the park. We find out whether the home can stay with a new owner or tenant, what the approval process is, and whether there are back charges.
- We make an offer. If the home can stay, the offer reflects that. If it has to move, the offer accounts for moving costs.
- We close. You sign the title over in front of a notary, any agreed back rent is settled, and you’re paid.
Common park situations
- Behind on lot rent
- Got an eviction notice from the park
- Park requires the home to be removed
- Lost or missing title
- Older or pre-1976 home
- Vacant or abandoned home
Things to know before you sell in a park
Read your lease. Many park leases cover sales, including notice requirements, buyer applications, and rules about “for sale” signs. Knowing it ahead of time avoids surprises.
Don’t stop communicating with the park. If you’re behind or planning to leave, letting the manager know you’re working on a sale often buys goodwill.
Don’t just walk away. Abandoning a home can leave you liable for rent and removal costs, and the park may take steps to dispose of it. Selling, even for a modest amount, is usually better. See vacant or abandoned homes.
Property taxes still apply. In NC, a home on a rented lot is generally listed with the county as personal property. Unpaid taxes can hold up a move, so it helps to know where you stand. Our park selling guide has more.
