Can You Guess How Much This USED Double Wide Mobile Home Costs?

[@chrisknauss6727]

My wife and I live in a 96 model double wide somewhat similar to that one. We live on 5 acres in TN. We also have a 60 x 45 ft barn and paid 123,000 in 2018. The guy that flipped did really good work. Our home is 1976 square ft with 2 nice decks front and back. We are blessed by God for sure. I like your video's.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Thanks you got a good deal

[@mennals58]

Being this home is a 2001. It is not a moble home. HUD stayed since 1976 a moble would have to have wheels. If the home does not have wheels, the home is a manufacturer home. The two of you are very knowledgeable about manufactured homes. So please advise. Why do you continue to state mobile homes? Any home can be moved. Bring a construction home or manufactured home.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

@@mennals58 it’s sitting on a metal frame that’s got hangers hanging from it to mount the axles. It’s a mobile home and the DMV gives you a title DMV means trailer department of motor vehicles is where you go to get the title. It’s a mobile home.

[@mennals58]

@mybrotherdonnie I am aware that a title is issued by the DMV. I live in a manufacturer home in the state of Delaware. Nevertheless. HUD no longer uses the turm moble home.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

@@mennals58 A mobile home is a prefabricated structure that's built in a factory and then transported to a permanent or temporary location. Mobile homes are built on a permanent chassis and can be moved by towing or on a trailer. They can be used as permanent homes, or for holiday or temporary accommodation i’ve always heard it being called a mobile home. This is what Google has for the definition.

[@Georgeofthejungle145]

I sold manufacturer homes for 10 years, That's s Pioneer, entry level, 2001 probably sold for around 35,000 dollars, depending on what options they wanted, I was shocked see the price after 23 years, the house in great shape for its age , good video 😊

this is an absolute gem of a channel, im not sure how i got here but ive been watching you guys for a little while now. I have a few things i have noticed, 1. you guys are very skilled at remodel, maintenance, probably anything that comes your way. 2. you are a natural speaker, teacher, explainer, not sure but your voice conveys emotion and you go into details that other professionals simply overlook or worse they assume we know the most basic things. 3. along the same lines of #2, watching Donnie reminds me of a blood hound on the sent, he is peeking in windows, learning the layout, looking for the nasty signs of water, rodents, bugs, or how many things are original and what has been "fixed" by someone else. Absolute professional, and he dont mess around with things twice, which means he does fantastic work the first time. Well keep it up, and now i want to watch a mobile home get repossessed to see how that works, im thinking a chainsaw while a sheriff watches.

[@williamtiffee3799]

I would suspect they paid around $10k. as a "trade- in," or more likely bought this for $5k. as a "haul- away" to clear, a lot? I've seen several real estate investment channels on YT with videos about acquiring these for very little, to nothing... remodeling them, etc. and then either seller financing, or lease optioning vs. renting them out. (i.e. A MUCH savvier way, to go, in my view... But some people still seem to prefer "buy n hold - landlording..." when they don't know, any better?!) I was working temporarily as the project manager for a high- end remodeler in the SFO bay area twenty years ago, that was talking about buying them up and 'exporting' mobiles to Guatemala, as his tear- out crew was from there, vs. Mexico. (So they must have been readily available in 2000ish, for very affordable prices. Of course the crew likely wanted them for their families...) I'd call around to mobile parks and stand- alones, on land... and offer to "haul them away, plus a lowball offer..." post inspection. (Because these companies probably aren't paying hardly anything, for them?)

The fact that pex is used as plumbing and they didn’t put shut offs anywhere so if it was leaking u had to drop the skirting and shut off the water main into the home to be able to repair…I immediately started putting shut offs on all the plumbing in mine after another pex line burst and flooded the duct work by the time I was able to get the water shut off at 5 am on a freezing cold night….so they’re built to last maybe 20 years before things start to break…and they always do….and my water heater was located on the exterior side with the door on the outside….i replaced it with an electric water heater and moved all the plumbing including the water heater inside the home so it’s not exposed to the freezing winters….

[@mybrotherdonnie]

That’s the smart way to do it move it inside and put as many shut off says you can

I assume you are talking about double wides because I went shopping for manufactured housing last year and the cheapest single wide on the lot was $66K, far less than the 100K you are giving. The modular I ended up getting was $152K

[@DraggonCanoe]

What a lot of people don't understand is the difference between a rental unit and a house that is a primary residence. I just sold all my rental units two years ago and after living in a stick built home and looking at other stick built homes I have decided to buy a new manufactured home. The quality of a new build is far superior to 99% of site built crap on the market. With rentals that is a different story. You don't need top of the line, you need good cost effective material. We would usually keep a rental about 15 to 20 years, then replace it with another good used unit. Of course some of our renters where there for years and that helped reduce maintenance costs and added life to a lot of our units.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

I think you did a better way of explaining it

[@DraggonCanoe]

@@mybrotherdonnie Thanks. It is hard for people who have never owned rentals to understand what we have to do to get the rent to an affordable price. It takes a lot of thought and work in order to make a living and have a decent place that people can afford to rent. It isn't easy by any means.

Previous owner screwed a 'regular size square rod towel bar' into the door, which was hollow !!!! Plus the towel bar -- it gradually sagged over time. To get the bar off it was screwed into place, held onto the thin veneer with long screw washers, which made it almost impossible to remove! Good grief. Had to remove door which was extremely narrow 28" wide -- and then had to pull it off after wrecking door around the towel bar mounting holders!!! That door's remnants got burned in a bonfire! Gave the nice silver metal color towel bar away as we did not need it.

Here in Florida, the problem is that dishonest bully mobile home park owners frequently harass elderly women and veterans to they "abandon" the home and move out, then the park owner flips the home for a profit. Then, hurricane insurances doesn't pay all costs if damages occur. in my opinion, NEVER BUY A MOBILE HOME IN A FLORIDA MOBILE HOME PARK WHERE YOU PAY LOT RENT. A corproate could buy out your park, process and change of use and you have to move out so they tear down the hold homes and build apartments, etc. The only safe way is to buy a mobile home on your own lot, or in a co-op where all the residents own the park. Florida laws don't protect homeowners from unethical park owners and you could lose ALL you equity.

[@danelionheart5881]

There is no double wide worth 200,000 unless it is made out of gold. This double wide with all the water damage and water marks means it was flooded and the roof leaks. To have water lines going that far up from the floor means the trailer was soaking in water. That means if there is any insulations in the double wide it will have to be pulled out. Then you will have to get rid of all the black mold. Notice the cracks and yet there is fresh paint that means someone is trying to hide somethings. The floors punky means the floors have all been soaking up water. particle board is not safe to use in any home house or trailer. Most States will not allow anyone to live in a home even if it has just 1 4x8 sheet of particle board because of the toxic gas if there was a fire and that has a fire place built in it. With all the water damage there is going to be water in the wires and outlets as well. Black mold is a killer. For anyone to buy that with hopes of living in it they would have to gut that place down to the frame and start building it from the floor up all new. 50,000 is 40,000 to much .

The idea of trading in a single or double wide mobile home is very foreign to me, lol The room of the fireplace could be converted into a fourth bedroom, if somebody wanted to. 7:54, These labels are even on the kitchen cupboards in manufactured homes. It even says, Do Not Remove.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Yep think about if you buy a New one what are you gonna to do with the old one you just about have to give it to the man that can move it out of the way so you can put the new one back

I purchased a new roof-over in 2022 and it cost me $4200 to go over my original metal roof from 1962,

Dam it

[@jeanhansel5805]

What is the cost to have a mobile home bolted to a foundation? That''s the first major item on a "to do" list for me. How much does this process protect the home against damage from hurricanes and earthquakes? I wouldn't use the real fireplace. I would, however, replace it with an electric "fake fireplace" insert that makes it appear as though it is a real fireplace. The fireplace surround looks fine to me. A big plus is having washer and dryer hookups already in place.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Normally, they don’t bolt, them down to the foundation per se they will take and put screw anchors into the ground put a metal strap around the frame and it’s like a belt buckle strap that goes around the frame and hooks to that screw anchor that’s in the ground in our area you need five on each side for a 80 footer. They put block underneath it and block it up to its level under the actual metal frame and then they just put big drillbits in the ground and put some metal straps around that

[@mybrotherdonnie]

With that being said double wide, they cost about 10 to 15,000 to move them when they move them they put them up which means they block it level and then strap it to the ground and put both sides together and they screw them together put the siding back on the side put some trim on the inside of the house and fix the roofing where the ridge cap is

[@jeanhansel5805]

@@mybrotherdonnie I'd want the home placed on a real foundation and not just strapped to the ground so the home could be bolted to the foundation. I imagine the cost to build a foundation is quite high, even though the foundation is just a concrete pad.

Listening to you guys talk, a mobile home is about 25K singlewide. What does it cost to move it, I would think it would have to do with the miles.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Not no more single wide. Some of them are going for 100,000 now anyway they do not really charge you per mile I’ve got a guy that moves them locally for me single Wides in charges me $3500 that’s within about 50 miles double Wides. He told me it was $12,000 within about 50 miles.

[@tinaaurand8887]

New ones haven't been that price in years and years.

[@outdoorlife5396]

@@tinaaurand8887 Thanks, after I retired from the military, I was divorced early 90's. I thought I would buy a single wide, Oakwood I believe. I thought that it would have some return. It was about 35K for that and an acre and a half. I was close enough to Raleigh that I could buy and flip houses. Which worked out for me, return on the SW, LOL, more like LMAO. I sold it a few years later. I would buy a house that was livable and needed repair. That worked better. Then sell them. Thanks for the info, I was wondering what the margin of profit was. I defiantly do not know anything about the Mobile Home market. I learned this one without losing any money. Big Thanks

The numbers for purchase and setup shows that these are no longer a sensible alternative to stick built homes.

QUESTION - do all mobile homes have the air vents on the floor?? Also,WHY do they put air vents on the floor instead of the ceiling like in real houses?

[@mybrotherdonnie]

No, all of them do not have air vents most do a lot or for just heat the reason they put them in the floor not in the ceiling there’s not that big of a ceiling cavity the way the roof is designed it’s very low sloped they put them right down the center of the house because it’s in between the frame rails and that’s the widest spot
