Are you new to rehabbing? Not sure if you're going to like it? Want to test your skills before sinking a lot of money into a house?
Here's a suggestion - try rehabbing a mobile home first!
Mobile homes are much cheaper to buy, and cheaper and easier to rehab.
A typical mobile home needing to be rehabbed can cost between $2k and $8k to purchase. Add another $1k to $5k or more to rehab. If you spend more than $15k total by the time you're done, you've spent too much.
A well rehabbed mobile home can sell for as much as $20k.
No, the profit's not as great as a house, but it will give you some experience.
