I own one. It's not new. It needed some TLC but it was just cosmetic issues. I realize my home may never increase in value. But I'm okay with that. Just needed to get out of our old apartment and our lot rent/mortgage is only half of what we paid at our old apartment and we get more space.

I bought a brand new manufactured home in 1999 in Fontana CA. At the time we got a nice deal with the mobile home park. Space rent was only $200 for 5 years. 22yrs later and I still own the home however my mom and her bf live there. Space rent is roughly $700 and actual home payment is $340. Still, adding those two together it's cheaper than if they rented an apartment or house. Having said this it's best to put a manufactered home on your own land.

Renting land is not ideal but that's still very inexpensive. Interesting enough is when a manufactured home is on owned land and well taken care of it tends to appreciate over time (quite a lot too) where as a manufactured home on rented land will not appreciate (or barely appreciate). The land is certainly an important part.

What surprised me the most was in my old double wide you could hang a picture every 16 inches on center and hit a stud. After selling that old home in a park I then bought a new one and put it on land I had purchased. You're lucky if you can hit a stud within 2 foot in this new home. How this meets any building code or safety standard is baffling to me. My guess is the legislature in Pennsylvania were bought off.

I can't tell you how many times mobile home park owners don't pay the property taxes. In my local municipality, we actually had someone purchase a trailer park, which included several subdivided lots within it. They never even had those lots transferred into their name, to the previous owners kept receiving property tax bills for those lots. Sometimes they paid them, they didn't. It was one of the most shady things I've ever seen, and it's astounding how common this type of behavior is.

I rent the space in a nice park for 550 monthly. Every year it goes up about $20. I just found out that homes way older and smaller are selling for $65thou in the park and we have none for sale because we have a shortage of any kind of homes in Ca.. Owner of the park told me that I can sell mine for $80 thousand as is right now.

I’ve been living in a solid well-built manufactured home in a resident owned community for almost 10 years. Happy as a clam. Minor maintenance, worth about double what I paid for it. Affordable housing , with affordable rent determined by the residents. Rent has gone up $11 since I moved in. I would never buy in a park not resident-owned - that would be risky.

Lot rent rates in mobile home parks are driven by demand, which is partly driven by local apartment rental rates. As apartment leasing cost rise, so will lot rents in a mobile home park. One method of determining lot rent increases is to basically match apartment rental cost after inferring tenants estimated monthly payment on his/her home. Example..If a 2bed apartment rents for $1000/mo in your area, you can almost bet that your combined 'house' note payment and lot rent will be close to that. This might be especially true of parks that are professionally managed by investment groups with large MHP portfolios. Of course there's exceptions to this, but mobile home parks typically are all about return on investment. Mobile home parks require a specific rate of occupancy to meet rate of return goals (same as an apartment development). Same as with apartments, park owners will push lot rents up until vacancies become a problem. One advantage of professionally run 'portfolio parks' is that they tend to stay on top of common area maintenance, park appearance, and problem properties/tenants.

Unfortunately, the housing and building supply crises are making even manufacturered homes unaffordable for many people now.

Do not choose a site where water runs underneath when it rains. 2. It's best to have 10 inch thick concrete runners to place blocks on under you're house. 3. Set you're home high enough you can comfortably do repairs and inspections. 4. If it's a permanent site, build you're skirting tight enough to keep out mice and snakes, it is possible. 5. Do some nice landscaping to enhance the future value of you're property, 6 Do not plant fast growing trees for shade, they break off in storms. Sorry but beauty takes time. 7 I hope you have nice neighbors and happiness and contentment in your future.

Don't forget about the construction loan that you have to pay interest on while the builders build your home. I am using prestige and I have my own land and a great credit score. I wanted an FHA but because Prestige homes are on back order for a year, they would charge me interest on the construction part of the FHA for about 30 Grand extra. So now I am stuck looking for a conventional loan through a different lender. They have to run my credit twice !! I am very upset. I still feel like I am being taken advantage of

Just went with my wife to see one of these mobile homes. I couldn’t even stay for more than 5 minutes in those cages. I felt like trapped in a fragile box surrounded by more boxes… it was a really bad experience. On top of that, price was $80K for those things. I will prefer to buy an electric pickup and live at a walmart, than living in a “mobile box home”.

Got my house w/ the Formica, tile, & linoleum in the wrong rooms & the wrong combination. When I called the salesperson I received the runaround from her, so I called the bank, and was able to hold the payment to the sales company & their subcontractors but not the factory, which helped immediately! They had somebody out fixing everything toot sweet. Salesperson actually told me their company was supposed to have control over our construction loan & payments being distributed to subcontractors (road construction, garage construction, footings, septic & drain-field, etc.). She may have filled out the finance application, but that gives them no right to control over my loan, or the subs I hired! That simply was not happening…😂😂😂😂
