Welcome to episode 8 of the Mobile Home Park Investors podcast, hosted by Jefferson Lilly and Brad Johnson, with the Park Street Partners. Today, Jefferson and Brad will discuss seller carry, also known as seller financing. This is when a seller of a mobile home park carries back the mortgage, which allows the owner of the mobile home park to not have to deal with a bank to get a mortgage and to close a deal more quickly.
