Picking The Wrong Mortgage

You might be shooting to pay only 3.5% down, however, if you can save up the 20% for a conventional loan or even consider buying in cash, you will save yourself a fortune in mortgage and mortgage insurance costs. There are many mortgage options out there. It is important to not only look at what can get you into a manufactured home right away, but what your numbers will look like long-term.

Buying From Emotion

The color of the walls in the living room remind you of your Grandma’s house growing up. Or the garden is just so pretty. These aren’t necessarily reasons to buy a mobile home. You will need to separate the emotion from your decision to buy. How does the mobile home look on paper? Are the numbers right? What about repairs? Don’t make an offer on a manufactured home purely on the good feeling it gives you. Make sure it is a practical choice as well.

Many sellers rush into a purchase out of desperation. If you have been looking for a mobile home for 8 months and finally find one that is just ok, you might be more tempted to make an offer. Before you do, make sure it is a property you really want and that you would have made the same offer even if it was your first day of mobile home searching.

Choosing An Agent or Lender Blindly

Sure you can look at reviews online, but how do you know those reviews weren’t written by the agent’s friends? Try to speak to people directly who have used your agent or lender. Get the inside scoop on how it is to work with them. Don’t just pick a 4-star agent. Pick someone who you will see eye to eye with too!

Not Exploring Your Options

You don’t have to buy a mobile home off the MLS or hire a buyers agent. There are many ways to buy properties in Dallas. You could choose to buy a manufactured home from a professional investor such as Mobile Home Offers. When you buy from a professional, you will always know what you are getting. There are many ways to buy, don’t get discouraged if you aren’t finding the right property on the MLS! Explore your options and we will help you find what you have been looking for!

Letting An Agent Talk You Into A Property

As agent gets their commission at the closing. That said, if you don’t close, they don’t get paid. They ultimately want to see you buy a mobile home, sometimes any mobile home so that they are able to put some cash into the bank. Never let an agent talk you into a property. A good agent will present the facts, leaving it up to you whether or not you want to make an offer.

Don’t Wait For The “Perfect” Mobile Home

There’s honestly no such thing. Yes, you will want to cross off as many things from your “must-have” list as possible, but it isn’t likely you will find your ultimate dream mobile home, at the price you want, at the moment you start looking. Be open-minded, think of possibilities and keep in mind, you can always do some renovations down the road. By dragging your feet, you could miss out on what could be the perfect manufactured home.

Put Your Needs First

You heard from your mechanic, that his sister said prices in your neighborhood were going to drop drastically in 6 months. People try to predict, but if you need a manufactured home, now is the time to get a mobile home. Not 6 months down the road, when you don’t know what the market will look like. Don’t buy out of future speculation. But because you need a mobile home right now.
