How Mobile Home Park Sales Work Differently
When your double-wide is in a mobile home park, you own the structure but not the land beneath it. You pay monthly lot rent to the park. This arrangement – while common throughout Horry County, Florence County, and the Carolinas generally – creates complications for traditional sales:
- Most mortgage lenders won’t finance a home on leased land at all, limiting you to cash buyers
- Many parks have right-of-first-refusal clauses or must approve incoming buyers
- Lot rent arrears must typically be resolved before a sale can proceed
- The home is likely titled as personal property through the SCDMV, not real estate
These factors essentially eliminate traditional financing for buyers and make most agents unwilling to list the property. JCF Solutions specializes in exactly this type of transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the mobile home park refuse to let me sell?
Parks typically can’t prevent a sale, but they may have right-of-first-refusal clauses allowing them to buy the home at the same price. They can also require buyers to be approved as park residents. We’re familiar with these processes.
What if I have past-due lot rent?
Past-due lot rent is a lien-like obligation that can be resolved at closing from the sale proceeds. Contact us with the amount owed, and we’ll factor it into the transaction.
Do I need both title documents for a double-wide?
Yes – double-wides typically have two separate titles (one per section). Both must be located and transferred to complete the sale. If you’ve lost a title, we can help guide you through SCDMV title replacement.
The home is old and needs significant repairs. Will you still buy it?
Absolutely. We buy mobile and manufactured homes in any condition. Age and needed repairs are factored into our offer price, but they don’t disqualify the property.
How is the value of a park double-wide determined?
We look at comparable sales of similar homes in the same or nearby parks, the home’s age and condition, current demand from buyers in the area, and any deferred maintenance or issues that affect value.
Can you buy my double-wide if I still owe a loan on it?
Yes. If there’s a lien from an existing loan, it’s paid off at closing from the proceeds – similar to how a mortgage payoff works in a traditional home sale.
