Hi everyone. I was just looking at mobile homes for sale for the purpose of living in one.



I came upon a site that had listed some mobile homes for $100. They were all between like 1968-1975.

The idea hit me that maybe I could buy it for $100 and scrap the metal.

How much do you think I could get for scrapping all the metal in it?

Will it justify having to pay to haul the rest of the non-salvageable parts (wood, plastic, drywall, etc) to the garbage dump?

I understand some of the wood may be the formaldehyde kind from way back then, and it cant be burned, and the wiring may be aluminum.

But all the same, how much can I expect to both net and gross?

If I ever do this, I'll be sure to visit this forum to learn as much as I can about this part of the economy I knew nothing about before.

I wonder if I could make a business out of this....


Thank you all in advance for your answers.
