Podcast 62: Steve’s Mobile Home Investing Success – 9 Mobile Homes in 13 Months

Welcome back,

In today’s Mobile Home Investing Lesson podcast #62 we are talking to active Mobile Home Formula investor Steve. Back in 2024 Steve started mobile home investing in the great state of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida. Since partnering with John and the Mobile Home formula Steve has been able to buy and sell 9 mobile homes in his first 13 months investing in mobile homes.

When most people think about real estate investing, they picture single-family houses, apartment buildings, or commercial properties. Very few investors immediately think about mobile homes.

However, for investor Steve, mobile homes have become an incredible source of income and opportunity.

Recently, I sat down with Steve to discuss his journey investing in used mobile homes and how he has successfully bought and sold nine mobile homes in just thirteen months. Throughout the conversation, Steve shared lessons learned, challenges overcome, and strategies that have helped him build a profitable mobile home investing business.

From Beginner to Nine Deals in Thirteen Months

At the beginning of the interview, Steve explained that he has completed nine mobile home deals in just over a year. While many new investors spend months analyzing opportunities without taking action, Steve focused on learning the business and consistently moving forward.

Like most successful investors, Steve’s confidence did not come overnight. Every deal taught him valuable lessons that improved his systems and decision-making.

Steve’s first deal gave him the confidence to pursue additional opportunities and continue growing his business.

Finding Opportunity in “Must Be Moved” Homes

One of the most interesting topics discussed was investing in mobile homes that must be moved from their current location.

These situations often arise when a landowner wants a property cleared, a lease is ending, or a homeowner can no longer keep the home where it currently sits. While many investors avoid these opportunities because moving a home can seem intimidating, Steve has found significant profits in these deals.

Because fewer buyers are willing to take on the challenge of relocation, investors can often purchase these homes at deeply discounted prices. With proper planning and reliable movers, these deals can become highly profitable.

Creating Value by Dividing Land

Another unique strategy Steve shared involved dividing a single lot into two separate parcels.

Creative solutions like this can unlock additional value from a property and create opportunities that may not be obvious at first glance. Rather than simply buying and selling a property as-is, successful investors look for ways to improve the property’s usability and overall value.

This type of creative thinking often separates experienced investors from those who struggle to find profitable deals.

The Importance of Moving Homes on Time

One lesson Steve emphasized was the importance of making sure a mobile home gets moved on schedule.

When a mobile home must be relocated, deadlines matter. Delays can create additional costs, upse
