1. Know the difference between personal and real property when selling a mobile home<\/h2>\n

Many mobile homes are considered personal property (the legal term for this type of property is \u201cchattel<\/a>\u201d) rather than real property, meaning they\u2019re sold a bit differently from a typical house.<\/p>\n

A mobile home may be considered real property if you own the land it sits on (depending on the state), and it\u2019s attached to that land \u2014 usually, that means it needs a foundation<\/a>, though some states have a pretty loose definition of \u201cfoundation.\u201d<\/p>\n

If your mobile home doesn\u2019t fit the above criteria, it\u2019s likely considered personal property<\/a>. This means the home is treated as a movable asset, akin to an automobile.<\/p>\n

When you sell a mobile home as personal property, you\u2019ll transfer the title over to the new owner in the same way you would sell a car, while the land remains with its owner.
