The short answer

Can you wholesale a mobile home in Wisconsin?

Yes, in many cases, but first find out whether the home is real property or personal property. That answer decides which statutes and forms apply.

A mobile home on the owner’s own land, permanently attached, is often treated as part of the real estate. A home in a park, on a leased lot, can be personal property with its own title paperwork. Ask for the title, the deed and the lot lease early. See our mobile home park guide.

Wis. Stat. 710.13 covers residential real property of one to four units. If the home and land sell together and you plan to assign, you generally must give the written wholesaler notice. Whether a home in a park falls under that section is a question for an attorney, so check current rules. Read assignments and working with an attorney.

The opportunity

Why mobile homes work around Green Bay

Brown County and nearby Outagamie County have parks and rural lots where manufactured homes are a main source of affordable housing. Many are older units owned by retirees and workers. Buyers range from landlords to local families who want a low price. Prices are small, so costs must be tight. Learn rehab costs with our repair cost guide and always size the deal with the ARV guide.

Your exit

Who buys mobile homes in Wisconsin

Local landlords, small investors and first-time buyers are the main exits. Some buyers need cash, since many lenders limit loans on older homes. Build your list with the buy box guide.

If the home sits in a park, tell buyers early whether the park must approve them and what the lot rent is. A clear picture protects your name. Close with an investor-friendly title company that handles these homes, or ask an attorney how to transfer the title.

A Wisconsin example: a Green Bay area single-wide on owned land

Seller ask	$62,000
Contract price	$46,000
Repairs estimated	$9,000
Buyer value after fixes	$72,000
Assignment fee	$5,500
Seller transfer fee	About $138

A retired Brown County owner had a 1990s single-wide on a half-acre that he owned outright. His knees made stairs hard, and his daughter wanted him closer. He asked $62,000.

The deed showed the home and land together. You agreed on $46,000, gave the written wholesaler notice at signing, and told him you might assign the contract. He liked a quick close with no showings.

A local landlord paid a $5,500 fee and received the assignee notice in writing. The seller’s transfer fee was about $138 at 30 cents per $100.

Wisconsin rules to know

Real property or personal property

How Wisconsin treats a mobile home depends on how it sits. A home permanently on land the seller owns is often handled as real estate, with a deed and the usual closing. A home in a park may move by title transfer. Because the label changes the rules, ask a Wisconsin attorney. Check current text before you sign.

On real property deals of one to four units, Wis. Stat. 710.13 requires written notice to the seller and to the assignee, and late notice can let them rescind. The transfer fee is 30 cents per $100 of value unless exempt, and the condition report duty under chapter 709 can apply when the home is sold with land. See is wholesaling legal and title insurance.

FAQ

Mobile Homes in Wisconsin: common questions

Is wholesaling mobile homes in Wisconsin legal?

Generally yes, when you follow the title rules and, for real property deals, give the written notice under Wis. Stat. 710.13. Check current text. First find out whether the home is real property or personal property, because that answer decides which paperwork applies.

Is a mobile home real property in Wisconsin?

It depends on the facts, such as land ownership and attachment. Ask a Wisconsin attorney. A home on the owner’s own land, permanently attached, is often treated as real estate, while a home on a leased lot can be personal property with separate title.

What about homes in a park?

Read the lot lease and ask the park about approval. The deal may use a title transfer instead of a deed. Parks often must approve a new occupant, so check rent, rules and buyer approval before you sign a contract with the seller.

Does the transfer fee apply?

On real estate conveyances it is 30 cents per $100 of value, unless an exemption applies. For a home in a park that is personal property, ask an attorney whether the fee applies, and let your title company confirm before closing.

Do I need a license to wholesale?

Wisconsin has no wholesaler license, but a pattern of sales can matter under the broker definition. Five sales in one year or ten in five years is described as presumptive evidence of a pattern, so keep count and ask an attorney.
