If you have an old mobile home on your property, odds are good that you’ve thought about how to get rid of the mobile home. The problem, often, is that the mobile home may be 15+ years old and dilapidated; since mobile homes decline in value, the cost to haul it away from your property is far more than the money you might get by working to sell it. After all, moving an old mobile home isn’t easy or cheap.
Most of those who try to sell their old mobile home, actually end up donating it instead due to several reasons: 1) Often they are dismayed by the hours and hours it takes to run ads, answer calls, meet with non serious and time wasting ‘no show’ buyers. 2) Owners are often uncertain and make severe mistakes during the critical step of handling and transferring title. They find there are almost no reliable resources for real support. 3) Owners typically don’t want to put in the repairs required to sell the mobile home properly and avoid liability. Because of these reasons and more, smart owners often choose instead to simply donate the home to save themselves time, headaches, and energy while getting a higher deductible tax write off and leaving the heavy lifting to a professional charitable organization.
The truth may surprise you. Because there is indeed an answer to the question of “Who buys old mobile homes?” In fact, many new homeowners want that mobile home, even though it may be in poor condition.
An old mobile home is not a total loss and it can often have a very useful second life as affordable housing. You may not want to put in the work to get it ready to sell, and the good news is that you don’t have to. Nonprofits could retrofit your old, rundown mobile home to extend it’s lifespan a few more years, helping a young family in need find their perfect house.
