Investigate restrictions. If you are planning on putting your mobile home inside an established development, make sure mobile homes are allowed. Some developments do not allow them. Be sure to comply with local zoning ordinances.
Gather information about your home and property. You will need to provide the street address for your property to get a copy of your deed. You will need the names and addresses of the former owners of the property to transfer the deed. Other information you need includes city and county where the property is located, legal description of the property and amount of consideration.
