Any Interest in Mobile Homes in SE Georgia (near Jacksonville, FL)

I've been reviewing the forum and have found mixed reactions to mobile homes, so I thought I'd post in case anyone is interested...

We purchased a mobile home park earlier this year and evicted some residents who left their homes behind. They couldn't sell them because of title issues. We've received a court order to allow us to remove/demo them. There are 3 now, possibly more to come. Two were manufactured in the 70s and one is a 1983 model. All have metal siding and roofs. They're cleaned out (no trash inside). Tongues are on the frames, but I don't think they have axles (not sure).

We're willing to get a dumpster if someone wants to scrap them for the metal. The location is Kingsland, GA - about 20 miles North of Jacksonville, FL, just offf I-95 at exit 3. There's a possibility that we could have a friend with a backhoe knock the walls in if that would help.

I used to be a assistant manager of a park and bought a trailer off a tenant that wanted to get out of there. She only wanted $400 for the home. I decided to scrap it out and since I worked for the park, I used their dumpster to get rid of everything but the scrap. I easily doubled my money from it. In my experience around here in WI, most trailers are going to a non-copper water line. But I was able to sell the furnace and water heater back to the park for a little bit of money. If you were located near me, I would jump on this.

As would I, but GA is to far for me an the cooler right now, while being back logged.

Sure you'll find someone interested tho, quite a few folks down that way.

Sirscrapalot - Have a laugh, it won't kill you. - Me, myself an I.

how much can you make per mobile home?If i could do all 3 i might make a drive down there lol.

I met a guy that did a lot of them in TN, He'd charge several hundred dollars each besides the metal. I just can't remember now exactly how much, it could've been anywhere from 300, to 6 or 700. These were in the country too, where he could just have a big burn pile. They'd remove the siding by backing out all the screws, take a chainsaw and walk around the outside cutting the wall studs at the base, then pull the whole thing over and remove the roofing. The trailer frame they'd cut up with a saws-all
