Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

When is a Bill of Sale deemed appropriate when buying a mobile home if the home is owner financed? Should the buyer ask for a conditional Bill of Sale at the same time the Purchase and Sales Agreement is signed and notarized or when the home is paid off and title is received?

Thanks!

Sometimes it is treated like real estate. So you have to figure out which way it is owned.
