starting out

[Denzel & Lyllian]

We are looking to relocate to our home city of Jacksonville Florida. We want to buy a mobile home and a tiny land package deal. We have $18,000 cash to put down but would need to finance any other expenses etc. Our credit is not up to par, but we have 'more than excellent' references from our landlords for the past 10 years.
What would you suggest we do and how hard will it be to find what we need.We are looking in the $50,000 to $65,000 bracket. Do you think this is feasible.
Any suggestions where to look without companies asking for fees at the start
thanks,
MmeOdileS

Try the Nationwide Manufactured Housing MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE. The MLS includes listings BY OWNER, BY DEALER, BY BUILDER and BY FINANCE COMPANIES. The customized programming permits MH Shoppers to browse for the home of their choice. Listings are searchable by city, state, zip code, number of bedrooms and baths, manufacturer, year built and price.


The MLS started as a small MH FOR SALE BY OWNER section. This was expanded in December of 2003, to a nationwide service offering free listings to retailers, park sales operations and finance remarketing departments. As of today, more than six hundred business participants, and hundreds more For Sale By Owners, from coast to coast, have active accounts. With this level of participation from around the country you should be able to find exactly what your looking for in a manufactured home.
