What to Do With a Mobile Home on Privately Owned Land

If you own a mobile home sitting on land you also own, you have something many people don’t: real estate options. But whether you inherited the property, stopped living in it, or just want to free up cash, figuring out what to do next can be confusing.

At MG Property Bros, we’ve helped dozens of property owners sell mobile homes—fast, fairly, and with no judgment. Here’s what you need to know about your choices.

Step 1: Understand What You Actually Own

Mobile homes can either be real property (like a regular house) or personal property (like a car). It depends on whether the home is permanently affixed to the land and legally titled together with it.

If the Mobile Home Is on a Foundation:

You likely own both the land and the home as real property. This means you can sell it together, and most buyers can get title insurance and financing (if needed).

If the Mobile Home Is Not Permanently Affixed:

You may own the land as real estate, but the mobile home is considered personal property, often titled like a vehicle. This can make selling more complicated—but not impossible.

Step 2: Evaluate the Condition of the Home

Before listing or selling, ask yourself:

• Is the mobile home livable?
• Does it need major repairs?
• Is it up to code for HUD or local standards?
• Would a buyer want to keep the home or remove it?

If the home is older or damaged, many buyers will be more interested in the land than the home itself.

Option 1: Sell the Mobile Home and Land Together

This is the most straightforward path if:

• The home is in good condition
• It’s attached to a foundation
• You have clear title to both the home and land

A buyer (especially a cash buyer like MG Property Bros) can purchase both in a single transaction.

Option 2: Remove the Home and Sell the Land

If the mobile home is unsafe, outdated, or not up to code, you may want to:

• Demolish or move the structure
• Clean up the land
• Sell it as vacant property

This option works well for investors or builders looking for land in growing areas.

Option 3: Sell As-Is, Mobile Home and All

Want to skip the hassle? You can sell the whole property as-is, even if:

• The home is unlivable or in poor condition
• There are title issues
• You don’t want to deal with clean-up, utilities, or legal red tape

At MG Property Bros, we buy mobile homes on land in any condition—even if the home is falling apart. We can help sort out titles, close quickly, and give you a fair cash offer with zero repairs or cleanup.

What About Taxes or Liens?

Still owe property taxes on the land or mobile home? Have old title or DMV paperwork that’s incomplete?

• Clear up old tax liens
• Work through inherited title issues
• Handle mobile home title transfers
• Avoid foreclosure on mobile home lots
