I was wondering if anybody with knowledge of Illinois might chime in. It seems that in illinois to sell a mobile home as a non owner occupant you need to posses a dealers license.
Congrats on your success I wish I had known about these when I was in college the area would have been perfect for these kinds of deals.
Thanks Pete. Can't speak directly on the Illinois law, and I am not a lawyer: but I am pretty sure you do not need a dealer's license on your first transaction, or your first 5 transactions for that matter. That is the way it is in Iowa anyways.
Many people who are not investors own mobile homes and need to offer seller financing to the person purchasing from them. For this reason, it is highly unlikely that the government would impose a dealer license requirement on those individuals simply trying to sell their home in a one-time transaction (in which they will no longer occupy the unit obviously).
Mobile homes, and their titles, act much like used cars. In 95% of states you can do about 5 deals before you will need a license as a mobile home broker, just like you can flip about 5 cars in a year before you need a dealer's license.
Long story short: call your local DMV in Illinois. Tell them you are selling a mobile home you own and you want to finance it to someone. Ask them how to go about it. After about 50+ phone transfers (government efficiency!.....) you will get your answer.
