Behind on lot rent and worried about losing your mobile home? You can still sell it. We buy mobile homes in NC parks for cash, as-is, and back lot rent can often be paid out of the sale at closing. Call or text (984) 884-2801 today. The sooner you call, the more options you have.
Lot rent goes up, hours get cut, someone gets sick, and suddenly you’re two or three months behind. In a park, that’s especially stressful because the home you own sits on ground you don’t, and the park holds most of the cards. The good news: owing lot rent doesn’t stop you from selling, and a sale is often the cleanest way out.
Why selling can make sense
- It turns the home into money instead of letting rent, late fees and possible court costs keep piling up.
- The park gets paid, which is usually what the manager wants most. That makes them more willing to cooperate with a sale.
- You avoid an eviction judgment if you act before the park goes to court, or limit the damage if a case has already been filed.
How it works when you owe the park
- Call us with the numbers: monthly rent, roughly what’s owed, and whether you’ve received any notices.
- We talk with the park (with your permission) to confirm the balance and what they need to approve a sale or a new resident.
- We make an offer that accounts for the back rent. Often the arrears are paid directly to the park at closing, and you receive the rest.
- You sign the title over in front of a notary, and we take it from there.
If the home has little equity after the back rent, we’ll be honest about it. Sometimes the best outcome is simply walking away clean, with the debt settled and no judgment.
What NC sellers should know
- North Carolina parks generally have to go through the court system (a summary ejectment case, usually heard by a magistrate in small claims court) to evict. They can’t just change the locks.
- Read your lease and any notices carefully, and note any court date. Missing a hearing can result in a judgment against you.
- Legal Aid of North Carolina offers free help to eligible tenants, including mobile home owners in parks. If you’ve been served, it’s worth calling them as well as us.
