My Mobile Home Investment - Exterior

Check out my latest mobile home investment. While I invest in all kinds of things, mobile homes tend to be my highest return investments, and I've done a bunch of them. In this video, I show you what I typically do on the exterior of a manufactured home. It's quite a remarkable transformation from a dated looking trailer home, to a modern looking mobile home that anyone can be proud to live in.

Awesome job and surprised at how little it all cost. Thank you for some great tips.

[@devinlinehan7048]

This is very helpful! I mistakenly ended up with one of these. I rehabbed it to give to my homeless Goddaughter…. Well she did not live up to her side is the deal and now I have it nearly done rehabbing. I am in 3x the expense that you recommended but my goal is only to get some of my money back. So I think some of your advice applies. Own six single family rental houses already. But higher cost rehabs work in that market. It turns out my crew does not know how to do things cheap.

[@Challenged1]

I agree, it's a tough shift to make. The name of the game in mobile homes is "clean".

[@newyorkcity7246]

Its very nice,iam going to paint my mobile home thank you for sharing

[@ABZD019]

How do you screen potential buyers/renters to make sure you're not having issues that come with lower income housing? How is the application process? How do you handle any potential serious issues, such as evictions, continual domestic disputes, etc? Are you using an HOA model to make sure the properties stay presentable?

I am considering covering my 88 single wide with metal to cover the old dented up siding, already replaced the door and previous owner added a metal roof, rear covered patio and covered front porch. Wanting a barndomian look, think tru-log board and batton.

Question Garrett what type of Gray paint did u use on the mobile home in this video if u can remember Gray what n the model number of the paint it would help...

[@Gingersnaps1970]

That’s my question too ...

Great makeover. Plz tell me sir whay is yhe darkest color yoi have ever painted a metal sided trailor. Im updating mine replaced all the rusted siding screws am wondering if a dark color will cause them to work loose through expansion/cotraction of the metal. Got my heart set on a dark green home do you have any advice my roof is white to try to keep it cooler. Im tierd of the bland tan exterior

[@Challenged1]

I haven't painted any dark colors on these homes. Since we sell them, we stick with whatever is popular. You won't have a problem painting a dark color though.

[@virginiagreen8564]

Thank you for sharing this video and I love the color of you don't care may I ask what color it is

[@jamesc7383]

Garrett did you buy an established trailer park or did you have to get the land zoned ?

[@Challenged1]

It was an established mobile home park with lots of vacant lots. We've been filling those lots with homes over the last 5 years.

[@jamesc7383]

Thanks

[@Gingersnaps1970]

Before painting the roof, did you use anything to deal with the rust besides just pressure washing? I’ve read the paint won’t adhere to the rust until you use some sort of product first? Thank you

[@Challenged1]

If there is rust, we apply a rust convertor first.

[@terrysmith1914]

Remove loose rust spray with a product called OsPho I get mine at n apa it will turn black with a white powder on it wipe the powder off then cover with your roof coating.

[@yfnjaay2852]

what paint did you use for the metal of the house?

[@Challenged1]

Sherwin Williams Exterior Super Paint

[@yfnjaay2852]

another question is it a satin paint or a semi-gloss??

[@Challenged1]

@@yfnjaay2852 I believe it was satin

How far behind on payments would a rent to own tenant get before evicting and breaching contract?

[@Challenged1]

It's all dependent upon the language of the contract. We do mortgages on these, not rent to own

[@holdenthompson1235]

Must be one of those losers that move in and then never pays again to ask a question like that. Scum that costs the rest of us more money in rent each month

hi, what kind of Sherwin Williams paint did you use? a specific metal paint?

[@Challenged1]

Nope, just typical Super Paint Exterior

[@hotlatino7220]

200 and paint 100 in lumber 600 in skirting that's just materials that's not even including labor. Those are prices if you do it yourself. Labor alone 4 strain is about anywhere from 1,000 to $1,500 nowadays. Pain about another $1,500 in labor. If you get lucky. And then a carpenter???

[@Challenged1]

I did this myself, no labor cost necessary. If you can't do these simple tasks yourself, you shouldn't be in the investment business.

600 for plastic skirting? What a rip off. Metal tins better, cheaper and you won't weed eat wholes in your skirting every time you mow.

[@Challenged1]

Skirting needs to be vented well

[@joenavy3136]

@@Challenged1 helped neighbor with his that we bought at mobile home supplier. Its not vented and depends on codes where you live. Dont have to have any skirting in this state. I'll stick with the tin.
