Golden Deal?

Hi Everyone,
I think I landed on a very good deal but I was wondering if I did anything foolish.

I was driving around my nieghbourhood when I saw a nice family park and saw a few homes for sale.I randomly picked one up and saw that a phone number with xyz mobile homes ad on the window.I called and the owner happened to be a mobile home dealer who had done like 90%business in the park and very good name in the park and she was moving out of tampa so the motivated seller.i went and saw the mobile home and found that its a 1980 24x56 with 3 bed and 2 baths .Pretty nice home with new carpets and paint and she was asking 9000 and I brought it down to 6000.I think thats a good price but I guess I was foolish when I said I wanted the house for myself .
Maybe I should have said that I am new to the mobile home business and told her why I was there?

Iam planning to call her up and just say causually that I have been planning to get into the mobile home business and any leads including a good reference to the park managers would be apprecaited,

I would be happy to hear your ideas and would apprecaite any help.
Iam really motivated now and I do want to close the deal and also want to get into her good books so that I can get good references

Thanks for reading my post patiently also for your responses cool grin

    Always be up front with a good contact. Especially here in Florida. I would also suggest working as a broker for your contact. This puts you in a unique position. Tell your contact that you will handle all there sales on a commission only basis or offer a discounted payment to buy all of them at once and resell them. If they went down to 6K for the one how much would they go down if you bought all of them? If you decide to buy parks let me know. Look at my profile for my email address.

    Good Luck,
    Kyle
