Get Trailer Park Financing.

I found out the hard way that getting financing on a trailer park isn't easy.

I put $10,000 down and gave myself 60 days to get financing.

After the tenth bank turned me down, I started to panic.

How I ended up doing it was that, thankfully, I had $100,000 equity in my home. I then put $100,000 down from the refinancing and asked the owner to carry the difference.

I have since paid him off and now own the park free and clear.

What I would recommend is that if you are trying to buy this, you call this guy first to get prequalified.

You will need the following:

1. Current Rent Roll

2. 2006 and 2007 Operating Statements(or schedules from tax returns)

Call or e-mail with any questions.
