Buy a House in Transit

A great way to acquire houses at a very reasonable price is to become acquainted with a house Mover. There are many reasons that houses need to be moved. The following are a few or those reasons:

A good idea is to contact people who move these homes, and then you can bid to purchase them. If you can get to them before the home is moved, you can have it delivered to your location.

Furthermore, House Movers usually have a Sales Lot where they have placed houses they have moved in which they wish to re-sell Movers and Packers Company. I have bought houses myself and moved them to a vacant lot. I did a little rehabilitate work and then VOILA! I was able to either sell the homes or rent them out.

My son, who is a builder, bought a very nice, very solid, older home and moved it to a piece of land that he owns. He built a beautiful "New" home, actually incorporating the older home within the new one. It's amazing to see that now you can't even tell where the older house begins; until you knew beforehand.

There are many vacant lots available in which you can move houses to. Once you move the house on the lot you can fix it up and have it ready for a new owner or tenant a lot faster, and less expensive, than if you were to build a home.

So here is the idea. Look around and locate a professional House Mover. Get acquainted and let him/her know that you are interested in buying homes that he/she (notice how I'm trying to be "Politically" correct), might move. Ask them to let you know when one is coming up so that you can inspect the house and maybe bid to purchase it.

Also, be aware of your surroundings at all times. There are vacant lots available everywhere. And it doesn't hurt to ask people, in your day to day transactions, if they know of any vacant lots that are available. But be sure you look for lots which have all the utilities available. You'll need those utilities in the event you need to rehabilitate the home, or do some repairs.
