Mobile / manufactured homes, Texas
Selling a Texas Mobile or Manufactured Home — TDHCA Handled at Close, Cash Offer
The Texas Manufactured Housing Association reports days-on-market for manufactured homes has roughly doubled — from about 46 days in early 2023 to roughly 94 days in early 2025. Most retail buyers cannot get bank financing for a mobile or manufactured home, especially older units, units in parks, or single-wides on rural land. We close in cash and handle the TDHCA Statement of Ownership paperwork at closing so you do not have to navigate the agency yourself.
The honest framing
Why mobile-home sales are different from stick-built — and slower
Texas has the largest manufactured-housing market in the country. Roughly 750,000 manufactured-home units sit in the state, somewhere between five and seven percent of all Texas housing — meaningfully larger as a share in rural counties, where the number routinely climbs into double digits. Manufactured housing is a legitimate and large housing class. It is also, mechanically, a different kind of transaction than a stick-built sale, and the reason most owners end up here is that the mechanical differences make a traditional listing slower and harder than it has to be.
Three things make a Texas manufactured-home sale structurally different from a single-family resale, and each one independently shrinks the financed-buyer pool. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) administers the title system for manufactured homes through a document called the Statement of Ownership, and that document — not a county deed — is what legally transfers the home unless the owner has gone through the formal conversion to real property. Personal-property status versus real-property status drives nearly everything downstream: which lenders will finance the buyer, how the closing is structured, what paperwork gets filed, and how long the home sits on the market before it closes.
The market reality matches the mechanics. TMHA's reporting through Q1 2025 shows days-on-market for Texas manufactured homes has roughly doubled in two years, from around 46 days to around 94. The cause is not really condition or pricing — it is financing. When most retail buyers cannot get a bank loan on the home they want to buy, the buyer pool collapses to cash, and cash buyers in the manufactured-home space are systematically rarer than cash buyers in the single-family space. This page walks through the TDHCA mechanics in plain language so you can decide whether the cash-sale path makes sense for your situation.
TDHCA Statement of Ownership is the title document
Every manufactured home in Texas has a Statement of Ownership filed with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. The SOS is what proves who owns the home, where it sits, whether it has been moved, and whether it has been converted to real property. Transferring ownership requires filing an SOS application with TDHCA — not with the county clerk and not at the tax office. The agency processes the filing and issues an updated SOS in the new owner's name. This is the part of the sale that most owners have never dealt with before and that most retail buyers do not understand.
Personal property vs. real property
Under Texas law, a manufactured home is treated as personal property by default — the same legal category as a vehicle or a piece of equipment, not real estate. That changes only if the owner has filed a formal Election as Real Property with TDHCA, recorded the conversion with the county clerk, and (in most cases) owns the underlying land. Converted homes transfer like any other real-estate sale. Unconverted homes transfer via TDHCA. The difference matters because most banks will not write a real-estate mortgage on personal property — which is why unconverted units see the bigger days-on-market gap.
Conventional lenders rarely finance unconverted units
FHA, VA, USDA, and most conventional mortgage products either refuse to lend on unconverted manufactured homes outright, or impose restrictions (year built, foundation type, double-wide minimum, owned-land requirement) that disqualify most of the actual inventory. Specialty chattel lenders exist for personal-property mobile homes, but their underwriting is tight, rates are high, and pre-1976 units are typically excluded. The practical effect is that a financed retail buyer on an unconverted Texas mobile home is the exception, not the rule.
Days-on-market doubled since 2023
The Texas Manufactured Housing Association tracks median days-on-market across the state's manufactured-home resale market. Their reporting shows DOM moved from around 46 days in Q1 2023 to roughly 94 days in Q1 2025 — a doubling in two years. The trend lines up with the broader interest-rate environment and the tightening of chattel-lending standards. For owners who need to sell on a real timeline (relocating, inherited, settling an estate, behind on lot rent), 94 days is not a useful number. The cash-buyer path is what closes that gap.
Cash buyers dominate this market
Because financed buyers are rare, the active buyer pool for Texas manufactured homes is dominated by cash investors, park operators acquiring inventory, and occasionally end-user buyers paying cash from previous home sales. That pool is smaller than the single-family cash-buyer pool and disproportionately reluctant to drive to rural counties or take on older units. The upside for sellers who find a serious cash buyer is the same compressed timeline as any other cash transaction — once a written offer is in hand, closing can happen on a two-to-three-week clock instead of a 94-day one.
Stigma is the wrong frame
Manufactured housing carries social baggage that obscures the actual market. With roughly 750,000 units, Texas has the largest manufactured-housing market in the country, and the homes range from inexpensive single-wides on rural acreage to multi-section units on owned land with modern finishes that are functionally indistinguishable from site-built construction. The transactional mechanics are different from a stick-built sale; the homes themselves are not the problem. We treat the category as a legitimate housing class, not a project to apologize for.
What we buy
Three property situations we close on
Texas manufactured-home sales generally fit into one of three legal structures. We buy all three. Each one closes a little differently — same end result for the seller (signed contract, cash at closing), but the paperwork at the title table is not identical, and understanding which bucket your home falls into is the single most useful piece of information to bring to the first phone call.
Home + owned land, converted to real property
You own the land. You (or a previous owner) filed an Election as Real Property with TDHCA and recorded the conversion with the county clerk where the home sits. The home and land are legally one piece of real estate. This is the cleanest version of the transaction — the sale closes via a standard Texas real-estate deed at the title company, the same way a stick-built sale would. We still file an SOS update with TDHCA at closing to reflect the new owner of record, but the legal transfer happens via the deed. Converted homes also tend to retain better resale value because some conventional lenders will finance them on the back end.
Home + owned land, NOT converted
You own the land but the home was never converted to real property — meaning no Election as Real Property was filed with TDHCA, and no conversion was recorded with the county. This is extremely common, especially on older units where the owner never had a reason to convert. The home is legally personal property; the land is legally real estate. At closing, the land transfers via a standard Texas deed and the home transfers via a TDHCA Statement of Ownership application — two parallel transfers, one closing table. Both happen the same day. We file the SOS paperwork inline so you do not have to deal with the agency yourself.
Home in a park (you rent the lot)
You own the home; the park owns the land underneath it and you pay lot rent. We buy the home only — the park-lot lease is a separate agreement. The transfer goes through TDHCA via an SOS filing (there is no deed because there is no land transfer). Almost every park lease requires the park owner to approve the incoming buyer; we coordinate that approval with park management as part of closing, including any tenant-screening paperwork the park requires. If the park does not approve us as a tenant or does not allow the home to remain on the lot under new ownership, the move-off option is on the table — but that is rare and we will discuss the logistics with you upfront if it applies.
If you do not know which situation applies to your home, that is fine. The first phone call is the right place to figure it out. The single most useful piece of information is whether you own the land — if yes, we can check TDHCA records to determine conversion status. If you rent the lot, you are almost certainly in Situation 3. Our broader situations index covers other complex Texas sales, and the sell-your-house overview walks through the general cash-offer process.
The practical mechanic
How a TDHCA Statement of Ownership transfer actually works
Most owners reach this page without ever having dealt with TDHCA. That is normal — the Statement of Ownership is a once-in-a-decade document for most families, and the process is administrative paperwork that does not show up in everyday life until a sale, an inheritance, or a refinance forces the question. Here is the step-by-step in plain language so you know what is happening at each stage and where Diamond's involvement sits relative to the agency's involvement.
- 1
Confirm current SOS status
The first step on our side, after the intake call, is to pull the current Statement of Ownership from TDHCA's records using the home's HUD label number (a small metal plate, usually on the outside of the home near the towing tongue, or on a kitchen-cabinet door) or the manufacturer's serial number. The SOS tells us: who the current legal owner of record is, whether the home has been converted to real property, whether any liens are filed against it, and whether the home has been moved from the location of record. If the recorded owner matches the seller, we are clean. If it does not, we work through the corrective paperwork before closing.
- 2
If converted, deed transfers at closing; SOS update filed by title
For homes that have been formally converted to real property, the legal transfer of the home and land happens via a standard Texas deed at the title company, the same way a stick-built sale closes. The title company files an SOS update with TDHCA reflecting the change in real-property ownership, but the underlying transfer is governed by the deed. The seller signs deed paperwork, the title company funds, and the home becomes ours. The TDHCA update happens in the background on the agency's normal processing timeline and does not affect the closing date or the seller's payout.
- 3
If unconverted, SOS application filed with TDHCA at closing
For unconverted homes — whether on owned land or in a park — the home transfers as personal property via TDHCA's Statement of Ownership application. The title company prepares the SOS application (along with any lien-release paperwork from an existing chattel lender, if applicable) and files it with TDHCA at closing. On unconverted homes that also sit on owned land, the land transfers separately via a county deed at the same closing — the seller signs both sets of paperwork, the title company funds, and the agency processes the SOS update on its own timeline. Diamond handles the application end to end so the seller does not touch the agency.
- 4
TDHCA processing (2–4 weeks) — closing does not wait on it
TDHCA's typical processing time on an SOS application is two to four weeks, depending on the agency's workload and whether the application requires any corrections. The critical thing to understand is that the closing itself does not wait on TDHCA. The seller signs at the title company, the funds wire on the closing date, and Diamond takes possession. The agency completes the title update in the background. The only situation in which TDHCA processing would hold up funding is if the title file reveals an unresolved title defect that has to be cured before closing — and even then, the cure work is title work, not TDHCA processing.
The honest framing: most sellers do not need to understand the SOS process at the level of detail above. We are walking through it because the typical experience with TDHCA is opaque — agency paperwork, processing windows, lien releases — and the part of the cash-sale value proposition that matters most on manufactured-home transactions is that we handle the paperwork inline. The seller signs at the title company. The title company files what needs to be filed. The funds wire. The agency processes the update on its own timeline.
Underwriting inputs
What we look at when underwriting a Texas mobile home
Underwriting a manufactured home is not the same as underwriting a stick-built single-family. The condition categories overlap (roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, foundation) but the structural inputs that drive value are different. Here are the five inputs we look at first when pricing a Texas mobile-home deal — knowing them in advance will make the first phone call shorter.
Year built — and the 1976 line
June 15, 1976 is the cutoff for the federal HUD manufactured-home code. Pre-1976 units are "mobile homes" under federal regulation; post-1976 units are "manufactured homes." The distinction matters because pre-1976 units cannot be financed by FHA, VA, USDA, or most conventional and chattel lenders, which removes nearly the entire financed-buyer pool on the back end and lowers resale value. We still buy pre-1976 units; the price math just accounts for the thinner exit market.
Single-wide, double-wide, or triple-wide
Section count drives both square footage and the financed-buyer pool on resale. Double-wides have a meaningfully broader buyer base than single-wides — more lenders will write loans on them, more families will buy them as primary residences, and they retain value better. Triple-wides are rarer and skew higher-end. Single-wides are the most common category in our pipeline and also the hardest to resell on the open market, which is why owners of single-wides often end up calling cash buyers.
Owned land vs. in a park
Whether the home sits on owned land or in a park is the single most important non-condition input on a mobile-home underwrite. Owned-land deals carry the value of the land itself, which is often the larger share of the total purchase price. Park deals carry the value of the home only — and the underwrite has to account for the cost of complying with park requirements, lot-rent obligations during any holding period, and the possibility of moving the unit off-site if necessary.
Foundation: tied-down vs. permanent
"Tied-down" units are anchored to piers with hurricane straps but are not on a permanent foundation; they can be moved with the right equipment. "Permanent" foundations (concrete piers, full perimeter, or a slab) make the home much harder (and sometimes legally impossible) to move and are required for most conversion-to-real-property elections. Permanent-foundation homes also see better financing on resale. We underwrite both — the foundation type just affects assumptions about land use, conversion eligibility, and exit strategy.
Condition: roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing
The standard condition list — roof leaks and the resulting water damage, HVAC systems past useful life, electrical panels that need to be replaced, supply and drain plumbing that has aged out, and any foundation settlement on the home itself — is all in our underwriting. Mobile homes are more sensitive to roof condition than stick-built (the roof is the entire weather envelope and failures cascade fast) and more sensitive to HVAC condition (ductwork in the underbelly is harder to service). We budget repairs as line items, the same way we would on any other property.
The hard categories
What we buy that conventional buyers and lenders will not
Most of the manufactured-home inventory that ends up on our pipeline is inventory that the financed-buyer market has already excluded — older units, single-wides on rural land, units in parks, inherited homes, and units with active condition issues. None of those categories disqualify the home from a cash sale, but they all systematically push owners out of the open-market path and into the cash-buyer path. Here is the concrete list of categories we underwrite regularly.
Pre-1976 HUD-code homes
Pre-1976 mobile homes are excluded from FHA, VA, USDA, and most conventional and chattel financing. We close on them. Common categories: late-1960s and early-1970s single-wides on rural acreage, inherited homes that have been in the family for two or three generations, and park units that have been continuously occupied since before the HUD code existed.
Single-wides on rural land
Single-wide units on small rural acreage are one of the most underserved categories in the Texas manufactured-home market. Financed buyers are rare, the cash-investor pool is small, and most operators won't drive far out. We do. North Texas, East Texas, and Central Texas rural single-wides on owned land are a standing part of our pipeline.
Units in parks (with park approval)
Park-located homes that need to be sold quickly — owner relocating, behind on lot rent, estate settlement, or unable to maintain the home — are a regular category. We coordinate park-owner approval as part of closing. The owner does not negotiate with the park; we do.
Inherited and probate mobile homes
A deceased parent left a mobile home — often in a rural county, often unconverted, often with an out-of-date Statement of Ownership and an unclear chain of title. We work with the probate process and TDHCA's owner-update paperwork in parallel. See our inherited house Texas guide for the broader probate context that also applies to manufactured-home estates.
Storm and condition-distressed units
Hail damage, wind damage, partial roof loss, fire damage, water damage from burst pipes during the February 2021 freeze, mold, pest damage. Manufactured homes are more sensitive to weather exposure than stick-built and they accumulate damage faster when left vacant. See our broader any-condition Texas guide for how we underwrite distressed properties generally — the same logic applies here.
Park-owner inventory (taken-back units)
Park owners occasionally take back units from defaulting residents and end up holding mobile-home inventory they do not want to manage as park stock. We buy from park owners directly — single units or small bulk acquisitions — and handle the TDHCA paperwork at closing. This is a separate transactional path from individual seller deals, but the underlying mechanic is the same.
How it works
What we do when you call about a mobile home
Four steps. Specific to manufactured housing — the intake and the closing-table paperwork are different from a stick-built sale, and we want you to know what to expect at each step. The whole process is built so the seller does not have to deal with TDHCA, the park owner, or the title company directly.
- 1
Phone call — bring SOS paperwork, lot lease, VIN/HUD label
The intake call is short. The most useful information you can have in front of you is whatever paperwork you already have on the home: a copy of the Statement of Ownership (if you have one), the lot lease if the home is in a park, and the VIN or HUD label number if you can read it off the home. If you do not have any of those, that is fine — we can pull what we need from TDHCA records using the address. We will ask whether you own the land, what year the home was built, single-wide or double-wide, and your timeline.
- 2
Title and SOS research, exterior assessment
We pull the current Statement of Ownership from TDHCA, run a title search on the land if you own it, check for any liens filed against the home (chattel lenders, tax liens, lot-rent judgments), and assess condition from the exterior. If you give us interior access we will walk the home; if not, we build the offer from the exterior-and-records side and adjust later if the interior reveals something different. None of this research costs you anything and you are not committed to selling at this stage.
- 3
Written offer factoring property status, condition, comps
The offer comes in writing with the math laid out: real-property vs. personal-property status (which determines the resale buyer pool), comparable recent sales of similar manufactured homes in similar markets, the repair budget at the condition we observed, holding costs through resale, and our margin. Owned-land deals show the home and land valued separately so the math is transparent. Park deals show the home value with park-approval and lot-rent factors disclosed. You can take the document to anyone — an agent, a contractor, a Texas real estate attorney — and pressure-test it.
- 4
Close at title; SOS and deed transfer handled at closing
The title company opens escrow. For converted-property deals, they prepare the deed and close the home + land as a single real-estate transaction. For unconverted-land deals, they prepare the deed for the land plus the TDHCA Statement of Ownership application for the home, closing both at the same table. For park deals, they prepare the SOS application and coordinate the park-approval paperwork. The seller signs (mobile notary available if you are out of state). Funds wire on closing. TDHCA processes the SOS update on its normal two-to-four-week timeline in the background.
Our broader process is documented on the how it works page, and the general questions sellers ask live in the FAQ. The full sell-to-Diamond overview walks through the cash-offer process for any Texas property, not just manufactured homes.
Where this intersects
Where mobile-home sales intersect with other situations
A meaningful share of mobile-home calls are not really "mobile-home calls" — they are inherited-property calls, tired-landlord calls, or long-vacancy calls where the underlying property happens to be manufactured. The TDHCA mechanic on this page still applies, but the broader Texas-law context for the seller's situation lives on a different pillar. Three common overlaps.
Mobile home + tenant in place
Owner-landlords who bought one or more mobile homes as rentals and are now tired of the management overhead — chasing lot rent, replacing damaged units, managing turnover, dealing with park owners on tenant approvals. We buy tenant-occupied mobile homes the same way we buy any other tenant-occupied property. See our tired landlord Texas guide for the broader landlord-exit framing — the lease and tenant-rights mechanics from that guide apply here too.
Mobile home vacant for years
Owner left, never came back, and the home has been sitting empty long enough that condition has compounded. Long-vacant manufactured homes accumulate damage faster than stick-built (the envelope is thinner, the roof is more exposed, pests find their way in). The TDHCA paperwork is still routine; the condition math is heavier. See our vacant house Texas guide for the carrying-cost and freeze-damage framing that applies to both categories.
Mobile home + inherited
A parent or grandparent died and left a manufactured home — often in a rural county, often with an out-of-date SOS and a complicated family situation. The probate process clears the right to sell; the TDHCA paperwork clears the title. We handle both in parallel. See our inherited house Texas guide for the Texas-probate-process detail — Affidavit of Heirship, Muniment of Title, and dependent vs. independent administration — that applies to manufactured-home estates the same as any other.
Statewide
Where we buy mobile homes in Texas
Statewide. Manufactured-housing density is highest in rural and small-city Texas, which is also where the cash-buyer market is thinnest. The cities below are markets where our pipeline already has the manufactured-home muscle memory — local comp data, working relationships with title companies that handle TDHCA filings routinely, and familiarity with the park operators in the area. If your home is outside this list, call anyway. We drive.
Cities with notable manufactured-home stock
- Mineral Wells (Palo Pinto County) — Manufactured housing represents roughly 13 to 15 percent of total housing stock in the Mineral Wells area, one of the higher concentrations in North Texas. Rural acreage in Palo Pinto and the surrounding counties skews heavily toward single-wides and double-wides on owned land.
- Bonham (Fannin County) — Rural North Texas county with significant manufactured-home density, particularly on small rural parcels outside the city limits. Mix of converted and unconverted units, often with older SOS records that need cleanup at closing.
- Fort Worth (Tarrant County, including the 76108 corridor) — West Fort Worth and the 76108 ZIP have larger concentrations of manufactured housing relative to the rest of Tarrant County, including a number of older parks and unconverted units on small lots.
- Rural East Texas — Smith, Van Zandt, Henderson, Wood, Rusk, and Cherokee counties all carry meaningful manufactured-home inventory, especially on rural acreage. See our Tyler, Canton, and Athens guides for the local-market context.
- Rural Central Texas — McLennan, Hill, Bell, Falls, and Limestone counties. Our Waco and Hillsboro and Corsicana pages cover this corridor.
Other Texas markets
- North Texas — rural and small-city — Sherman, Denison, Whitesboro, Gainesville, Paris, Granbury, Glen Rose, Wichita Falls. All have material manufactured-home inventory on rural and small-city parcels.
- DFW metroplex — Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, Denton, and surrounding counties. Park-located units are more common in the metro footprint; owned-land units sit on the rural edges. We work both.
- Houston, Austin, San Antonio metros and their rural ring counties — All three major metros have manufactured-housing communities and outlying rural counties with significant inventory. We drive.
- Statewide rural counties — The further out from the metros, the higher the percentage of housing stock that is manufactured. Many rural Texas counties have manufactured-home shares above 15 percent of total stock, with some climbing past 25 percent. We work in all 254 Texas counties.
Each city page above goes deeper on the local market context — county-level demographics, recent comparable sales, foreclosure and probate volume, and the operational reality of buying in that specific market. The TDHCA mechanics on this page apply regardless of which county the home sits in. For the broader as-is process, see our any-condition Texas guide; for the full situations index, see situations.
Mobile home FAQ
The questions owners ask first
Do you buy mobile homes IN parks (where I rent the lot)?
Yes. Park-located mobile homes are one of the most common categories on our pipeline, and they are also one of the most underserved by traditional cash buyers — most operators only want the home plus the land. We buy the home only. The mechanics are different from an on-land sale: you are selling personal property (the home itself), not real estate, so the transfer goes through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) Statement of Ownership process rather than through a county deed. Park-owner approval of the new buyer is almost always required under your lot lease — we coordinate that approval with park management as part of closing. If the park has tenant-screening requirements (background, credit, income), we provide whatever the park asks for. The seller does not negotiate with the park; we do.
What if my Statement of Ownership is missing or out of date?
Common, and not a blocker. The TDHCA Statement of Ownership (often called the SOS) is the title document for a Texas manufactured home, and it lives with the agency, not in your file cabinet — so missing paperwork on the seller side rarely matters. We can pull the current SOS status directly from TDHCA records using the home's HUD label number or serial number. If the SOS is out of date (a previous owner died, the home was transferred informally, a tax lien needs to be released, the recorded owner is wrong), we file the corrective paperwork at closing. Out-of-date SOS records add processing time on the back end, but they do not necessarily delay the sale itself — title and Diamond can close on the contract while TDHCA completes the SOS update in parallel.
Do you buy pre-1976 (pre-HUD code) homes?
Yes. June 15, 1976 is the cutoff for the federal HUD manufactured-home code, and pre-1976 units are technically classified as "mobile homes" rather than "manufactured homes" under federal regulations. Most conventional lenders will not finance them at all, and most chattel lenders refuse them as well — which removes the financed-buyer pool entirely and is precisely why owners of pre-HUD units end up calling cash buyers. We close on pre-1976 single-wides and double-wides regularly. The math accounts for the limited resale market on these older units (fewer buyers, condition typically rougher, often on rural acreage), but the deal still works in most cases.
Do you buy single-wides on rural land?
Yes — including on small acreage in rural counties where conventional buyers are scarce. Single-wide manufactured homes on rural land are one of the harder property categories to sell on the open market: financed buyers are rare (most lenders prefer double-wides or won't finance manufactured housing at all), and the cash-investor pool is small because most flippers and rental operators want urban or suburban stick-built homes. We buy them. We have closed on single-wides on 1-acre, 5-acre, 10-acre, and larger rural parcels across North, East, and Central Texas. If the home is converted to real property, the deed transfers like any other real-estate transaction. If it is unconverted, the home transfers as personal property via TDHCA and the land transfers via deed at the same closing.
How does TDHCA processing work — does it slow the sale?
TDHCA processing of a Statement of Ownership application typically runs two to four weeks from filing to issuance, depending on agency workload and whether the application has any corrections required. The important thing to understand: TDHCA processing time and the sale closing date are not the same thing. We can close on the contract (you sign, you get paid, the home becomes ours) while the SOS update is still pending with TDHCA. The title company files the SOS application at the closing table, the closing funds, and the agency completes the title transfer on its normal timeline in the background. The seller does not need to wait for TDHCA before getting paid.
What about manufactured homes that have been converted to real property?
Converted homes are the cleanest version of this transaction. "Conversion to real property" is a specific filing under Texas law: the owner has filed an Election as Real Property with TDHCA, recorded the conversion with the county clerk where the property sits, and (in most cases) owns the underlying land. Once converted, the manufactured home is legally treated as part of the real estate — the home and land transfer together via a single county deed, the same way a stick-built house would. The TDHCA paperwork at closing on a converted home is minimal (the title company files an SOS update to reflect the new owner of record, but the legal transfer happens via the deed). Converted homes also see a meaningfully smaller days-on-market penalty in the open market because some conventional lenders will finance them, which expands the buyer pool.
Do you buy in [rural TX county]?
Yes — statewide, including small and rural counties where most cash buyers will not drive. The further out from the major metros, the higher the percentage of housing stock that is mobile or manufactured, which is exactly where our service-area focus sits. We have closed on mobile homes in counties across North Texas (Fannin, Grayson, Cooke, Lamar, Hood, Palo Pinto, Wise), East Texas (Smith, Van Zandt, Henderson, Wood, Rusk, Cherokee), Central Texas (McLennan, Hill, Bell, Falls, Limestone), and beyond. Travel and logistics enter the offer math on far-out rural parcels, but the process is identical. If your county is not on a city-page list and you cannot tell whether we drive there, call.
Is this page legal advice?
No. This page is general background on the TDHCA Statement of Ownership process and the practical mechanics of selling a Texas manufactured home for cash. We are a buyer, not your attorney, and the SOS process has edge cases (multiple owners with conflicting claims, deceased prior owner with no probate, fraudulent transfers, tax liens, contested park-lot leases) where the right move is to consult a Texas real estate attorney before signing anything. The State Bar of Texas Lawyer Referral Service can connect you with one, often the same day. For most straightforward situations, the SOS process is administrative paperwork that the title company handles routinely — but if anything about your title chain feels unclear, talk to an attorney first.
