🚨 Deal Breakdown: Central Florida Mobile Home (In-Person Walkthrough)

I haven’t shared a deal breakdown in a while, so I wanted to bring one back with a property I actually went out and saw in person.

📍 Central Florida mobile home in a rental-friendly area.

🏠 The Basics

• Mobile home

• Solid rental demand in the area

• Walked the property + spoke directly with neighbors (& discovered something I'd never expect)

💰 The Numbers

Starting Bid: $35,000

Highest Seller Counter I’ve Seen: $110,000

Conservative ARV: ~$170,000

Estimated Rent: ~$1,500/month

At the right purchase price, this deal 100% works.

Max Bid I’d Be Comfortable With: $90,000

Here’s why 👇

Purchase Price: $90,000Renovation: $0(Minor clean-up only)Estimated Closing + Holding Costs: ~$15,000

➡️ Total All-In Cost: ~$105,000

Conservative Resale Value (ARV): ~$170,000

📈 Estimated Flip Profit

$170,000 – $105,000 = ~$65,000

That’s a $60K+ flip with:✔️ No rehab risk✔️ Faster turnaround✔️ No contractor headaches✔️ Clean exit strategy

Mobile homes can be great cash-flow plays when bought right

⚠️ Why I Ultimately Passed

Here’s the part most people don’t talk about — and why walking properties matters.

After speaking with the neighbors, I learned about some unfortunate events tied to the property (shared in this video). Nothing that changes the numbers… but something that personally didn’t align with the type of projects I want to be involved in.

And this is an important lesson:

👉 A “good deal” on paper doesn’t always mean it’s the right deal for YOU.

Investing isn’t just about numbers — it’s also about:• Your risk tolerance• Your comfort level• Your long-term goals• What you want your portfolio to look like

Sometimes the smartest move is passing, even when the deal technically works.

🧠 Key Takeaway

This property is a great example of why:

• Seeing properties in person matters

• Talking to neighbors matters

• Due diligence goes beyond spreadsheets

• Experience helps you say “no” faster — and with confidence
