Pros & Cons of Buying a Mobile Home

[@frugallandlord6974]

Everyone’s situation is different, but I think a mobile home is much better than an apartment.

[@deborahchesser7375]

Especially on an acre or 3 , absolutely

[@ursalaoutrageous9249]

FRUGAL LANDLORD I do, too. Although my particular neighborhood forbids sports activities, kiddie pools over a few inches deep and fences for dogs, it is nice to see kids riding bikes and skateboarding on this 10 mph street, knowing they are safer here than in an apartment complex or even some stick-built neighborhoods.

[@vickieclark5931]

No doubt. At least you have your own area in a mo bile home. With an apartment, it's like living with everyone on all sides of you. And if you own your mobile home, even though it goes down in value, you still will get money back when you sale as opposed to renting an apartment where you never will see that money again.

[@ursalaoutrageous9249]

Vickie Clark I never thought of it that way, but you are so right!

[@kittinaround554]

PROS: 1) more space at a much cheaper price (comparing with a regular home) 2) outdoor space (comparing with an apartment) 3) the amenities offered by a mobile home park (pool, gym, etc.) 4) mobile home park is private property (safe) 5) property taxes are lower on a mobile home (bc it's considered as personal property opposed to a traditional house) 6) it's movable (technically) 7) mobile home is as safe as a regular home (holds up great during windy weather/storms) CONS: 1) you pay a monthly rental space fee for the land (to the park management) 2) you have to get accepted into a mobile home park you want to buy a property at 3) no garage, still there is an off-street parking space (but some mobile homes do have garages) 4) the home is not going to appreciate in value 5) not every bank will loan you money for a mobile home; if they do end up giving you money the interest rate is slightly higher than it's for a regular home, also, you might need to put down at least 20% downpayment (for the 1st time home buyers there may be an exception) 6) there is a huge stigma attached to a mobile home living (like it's not cool to live in such house) but it seems like it's going away bc of a trend of living in a tiny house) CONCLUSION: a mobile home is safe, comfortable, and it looks like a great option for the 1st time home buyers

I own 11.3 acres no Trailer Park....its only 14x52 but was also $10.000 set up only thing I pay is land taxes power and internet bills All paid in CASH SO ALL THE benefits none of the drawbacks even have a 84x56 garage

[@hunnerdayEDT]

Mobile/manufactured homes can actually gain value if you own the land it's attached to. Once set on a foundation it becomes "real" property, and you will also have the tax write off benefits.

[@kaylablackburn8332]

I can’t stand the stigma against mobile homes. It makes no sense to me? I’m looking into getting one and it’s frustrating that every time it comes up so does “trailer trash”. But living on the 3rd floor of a tiny apartment is perfectly okay. I don’t get it. Lol

[@gginnj]

Family thought our buying a MH vs stix was bad until they saw it, then it was wow this is Huge , ceilings are tall, real toilets.....they were used to thier campground trailers and really hadn’t been in a MH. But to be honest - we passed on a few parks just because they “looked” like trailer trash - most probably weren’t just unable to upkeep....

[@angelasmith257]

[@lionelhowell4972]

@@gginnj They are way better than an apartment because they are very close in comparison to an actual house in a neighborhood (plus the no comparison with privacy). I'm on a double lot with a large play house, shed, and attached 1 car garage with 2 car lengthy driveway it's on a large amount of land with all grass. the only thing is now the rent has been rising fast every year.

[@vickieclark5931]

I've heard so many say not to own a mobile home cause it goes down in value. But my thinking is, yes it does, but your not making anymore money off of a regular home when you are paying interest for 20-30 years. Even though a regular home may go up in those years, your still getting less than you paid for it after you paid 100k in interest. The only way you actually make money off of a stick built home is either you pay cash up front for it. Or you buy it and rent it out and make the money off the the rental income. Other than that I don't see the point of using a home as an investment. I'd rather put money into REAL investments like mutual funds instead of a mortgage. So that's why I have been looking at mobile homes and thinking that would be the way to go. Thanks for this great video.

Be careful though. The PRICE of the home might be cheap, but watch out for the lot fees. In many places they can be over $700 per month.

[@honolulublues5548]

@@donpazer yeah, you have to look at what the lot rent is getting you...what amenities are you paying for? Are they things you need? Such as, does it come with a pool, club house, workout room, etc and then you have to decide if you will use that stuff. Many years ago I was looking at two parks. One had a clubhouse and a pool. The other didn't have that, but was located on a spring fed lake. Since the lake doesn't need taking care of by the park, the rent was cheaper. Since I'd much rather hang out behind my house by the lake than swim in a pool, I put my house there. There were cheaper lots in the park that were not located on the lake, but I knew I would enjoy the lake, so I was willing to pay the extra cash for that spot. I wish I would have kept that spot. I miss the lake.

[@Nikkioq]

I can only afford a mobile home. So cons don’t matter on my end. I wish I had the option.

[@KareBear710]

Check to see what the lot fees are for where the mobile home goes cause in Chicago its $886 a month and it goes up every year . if you have private land hopefully the property taxes are not high .also if your in a mobile home park the rules are anal just like a apt

[@angeliquepurdy4256]

Maybe at some point you will have other options. For now, do what you can and stay positive!

[@stephiec2763]

Yes it's our only option as well. My husband and I found a great deal on a big piece of acreage that we just couldn't pass up. Unfortunately it is zoned for only a manufactured home, so we can't have a stick built home at all. I know how lucky we are to have found a beautiful place to start and raise a family but we had always envisioned ourselves in a regular stick built home, and since my husband is a contractor he could have done a lot of the work himself which had always been our plan. But I was truly amazed at how nice manufactured homes are now. When we were looking at the models once I was inside they seemed just as nice as my parents home which they just bought brand new about two years ago. And like she said in the video we will be able to get a much larger home for way less. So it helps to look on the bright side. And my husband is already thinking up ideas to customize the home inside and out once we are settled in. Maybe someday the zoning will change but I'm thankful we could at least put a home at all on the land.

My property taxes are significantly lower than the stick-built homes in my neighborhood, but I agree with you that there is a stigma attached to mobile home living. I don't care because my retirement funds go so much further than they would've if I'd stayed in my stick-built home and I just feel it was a common sense move for me to make.

[@lionelhowell4972]

All the sites keep raising lot rents yearly, making them no longer affordable because there is no end in site..

[@archangele1]

The positives of a mobil home is the speed at which it can be brought to the site and set up and ready to live in. Also you can get more floor space per dollar then with most conventional homes. The bad is that even today, most mobil homes are NOT built as well as most site built homes. 24" on center inner wall studs and thinner sheetrock are a couple common things with mobil homes. Also, they tend to use lower quality things like flooring and plumbing fixtures. I paid an extra $10,000 to get upgraded windows, insulation and doors as well as a few other things. Makes a HUGE difference on my utility bills. Where my friend who owns a similar sized home without the insulation and window package needs a 5 ton AC to barely keep it comfortable, I have a 3.5 ton unit and it runs for a while then shuts off for a while as opposed to running non stop like my friend's home, which is actually a couple years newer then mine. As for taxes, yep. Even on your own lot and with the home considered being combined with the land on the deed, the taxes are still a good deal lower. In Florida this means the mobil home no longer has a title, but is part of the lot it is now on and the deed and such shows the lot as a lot with a house on it and you are taxes as regular real estate but at a much lower rate. As for where you put it. I would NEVER EVER buy a home and have it put in a park where you do not own the land it sits on. It would be better to just buy a lot in some subdivision that allows manufactured homes and be done with it. I had to refinance my home because the original loan was a simple interest loan from a crooked bank and I was able to get a real nice 3% loan from a credit union because they had the home incorporated with the lot and it was financed as a real property as opposed to personal property like a car. This made a huge difference. My payments went up $22.00 but the pay off time went down by 12 years. So the interest I would have owed would have been close to $50,000 on the old loan where as with the refinance, the total interest payments are around $12,000 for the whole loan. If I had this home in a park and did not own the land the refinance would never have happened. Oh, the mobil home's original loan with that 'loan shark' bank was at 7.99%. Now it is 3%. BIG difference....

[@cosmicwanderer4306]

Dont buy M/H in parks nor in any community with HOA fees. The park's land will never be yours and the fees in both are like diamonds - forever. Also dont buy too high. Think about your spouse and mortgage. If your spouse leaves you, a low M/H mortgage is very affordable. Buy away from tornado or hurricane areas (35 miles away off shore is good) . I bought a double wide back in 1999, measuring 62' x 28' = 1,736 square feet. The frame is built with 2x4s, and is anchored to the ground with steel straps. Have 3beds 2 baths, family and living room, large kitchen (size 20'x14'), appliances, water heater and A/C included all for $48K. Recently put new shingles, replaced few boards and insurance paid about 90% due to wind damage. I have 1.2 acre, lot included septic tank, drainage bed and well pump with water-tank for $20K. I hired an electrician to install an electric pole to bring cables near to house and lay electricity to septic pump and A/C for about $4K. Property is now paid off. I'm saving county sewage and water expenses, yearly property taxes less than $600, just 1% of county taxable value. I hire pump service to clean septic tank every 10 or 12 years due to no more than 3 people in house. I would buy a new M/H, if this one ever is destroyed - those that are now built with 2x6s walls and roof deck (the panels on your roof, plus the framing holding them) are stronger. Mine still in great condition and now that the area is booming, wouldn't sale. I drove about 1-hr to work, back and forth. Retired now. Recommend driving to work, buying away from big city where crime may get high and tough and an area prone to increase in value and where property taxes are very low going forward. After 10 years I now have a Super Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Walgreens, CVS, a Hospital, a Highway, lots of fast foods, expanded roads to everywhere I need to go, etc. Hope this helps.

Thank you, appreciate your insights. I just bought into a park in eastern Ontario, Canada meant for seniors and we too were vetted before getting a site. We’re downsizing from a house. I can tell you in our area mobile homes are very popular and we were delighted to get into this well managed site.

For my boyfriend's mobile home, a big con was that his family had to change how their mobile home looked like on the outside on really short notice. By changing the outside I don't mean the lawn I mean they had to remodel the whole exterior within three months time or be evicted. They managed to do it but it cost them a LOT. Do your research and ask lots of questions before settling on a park

[@gginnj]

what does change how it looked on the outside mean? the only thing I can think of is that it had no upkeep, and now the skirting needed to be fixed, maybe it was never tied down and now requires tie downs? DIY decks needed to be changed to actually structurally safe? or it had the "trailer park" image and not a "mobile home" image. Or it was none of those things and that is something I would like to know if it could happen to me.

[@honolulublues5548]

@@gginnj usually if you are buying a pre-owned home located in a park, you are going to know all that up front before you sign the papers. You will go to the park office to get accepted before the sale is finalized. The park will tell you their expectations before approval. I'll have to agree, there was probably some upkeep issues the park expected. If the park doesn't point this out in the contract, it behooves you to read each section. Most parks won't skip over it because they want you to do the upkeep. It makes the park more desirable to live in. The park could also limit the number of people that can occupy the home or how many visitors you may be able to have.

There are places in California where manufactured housing in a mobile park appreciate in value. Park living can be a great option, depending on your circumstances. In Texas, parks tend to be extremely pricey for the nice ones, or extremely run down for the affordable ones. Lot rent has to be factored in. You can get more home for your money if you already own the land it’s going on, but that usually means rural living. That’s the route I am going to take.

[@jy60517]

I have 1acre of land looking at this option of putting an high end double wide on it. To do a new stick build home that is small would be looking at 220 to 240k in PA plus a new stick build would be high taxes. Just do not want all that debt.

Hi, Mobile home parks screen people to try and keep undesirables out. It is definitely not a con, unless your lifestyle is considered a negative. Ie. drug user, criminal history ,child molester, eviction, poor credit, they definitely want to be sure you'll pay your rent on time. etc. I certainly wouldn't want a neighbor like that. I've been living in my mobile home since 2002. Iam in southern California also, its paid off now and I'm Very happy with it, and agree with you about having all the nice amenities. Pool, spa. Etc.

[@wendymathews1030]

I own s mobile home that I bought in 2011. It’s located in a park, which is thankfully a really nice park; in fact, it’s considered to be the nicest m/h park in our area, and there is a waiting list of people that want to live here. Since the homes must be owner occupied, it is extremely easy to sell your home. I was extremely fortunate when I bought my home because the owner had passed away and her family were more than anxious to sell it and be done with dealing with it. At that time I had just basically retired, even though I was 53, and I didn’t want a stick built home or any land that I would need to maintain, so living in a park was just right for me. And since I own my home outright, I have no mortgage payment; I pay my lot rent which includes water, sewer and garbage, so $290/month is pretty cheap living! The park owner is a great guy and keeps the rent as low as he can since this is a 55 & over park, and most of the tenants are on Social Security or some other type of a fixed income. So, the point to all this is that buying a mobile home really depends on where you’re at in your life. I am at a point where I wanted the security of owning a home that was all mine, and where I didn’t have a mortgage. I like living here in this beautiful park, and like the security of neighbors who look out for each other (which is sometimes considered nosey!! Lol). Since homes in this park are in such high demand, every improvement I make only increases the value of my home. Which is obviously true for any home, but hopefully you get my point! Another thing to keep in mind about buying a mobile is that the materials used are often lesser quality (at least for the older ones like mine). Since my home is a 1981, I am dealing with a basically 40 year old house, and some things were wearing out. I had a few pipe leaks & breaks the first couple years, and finally had hire a plumber to come in and replace all the water lines. It was expensive, but I had to do it. When you own a mobile home, water is not your friend!! If I could give mobile home owners only one piece of advice, it would be to HAVE INSURANCE. The ONE water pipe that did not get replaced was the one (actually 2) that runs up to the cold water handle in the bathtub. It leaked undetected for a long time and finally cracked bad enough that I had a major leak that resulted in replacing the flooring in my bathroom, dining room and kitchen. Thank God I have insurance or I don’t know what I would have done! So.....all this to say, depending on where you are in your life, a mobile home can be a wonderful option. I love my home, and I love making improvements to it! I am perfectly content to be here and that this is my forever home.

[@roberta.lofgrenjr.9182]

Wendy Mathews, You are lucky to only be paying $290.00 a month. Most place are triple that. You also have no mortgage which is a plus. Many people say don't invest to much money into a mobile home because you won't get it back.

[@ManufacturedHousingExpert]

Thank you for sharing this information.

[@ursalaoutrageous9249]

I bought a 1979 mobile home a few years ago for $10,500 cash. If I had it to do over again I would buy a newer model. The newer ones are built better. I knew nothing about mobile homes. I did not realize that the leaks in my outer doors were actually roof leaks which were rotting my insulation throughout. My electric bills, as a result, are astronomical in summer. I would have had a fence put in years ago, because a new owner bought our park and forbids new fences, but does not require that old cyclone fencing be taken down. Another drawback is that I pay nearly twice as much lot rent now as I did eight years ago. I’m on a fixed retirement income, so there is a lot of difference between $160 monthly and $287 monthly. That makes contemplating the future a bit scary for a 70 yo lady. New owners mean new rules - tighter restrictions, new fines, etc. our new owners forbid sports of all types from badminton to basketball. Neighborhood kids are no longer allowed to sell Girl Scout cookies or school fundraising items here. What would seem outwardly like a great place to raise kids - very little and very slow traffic on the street - might be a bit restrictive for kids.

Yes, I know Dave Ramsey's take on mobile homes. He's not a fan of them. But that being said, I still am thinking about a mobile home. With my income, a regular house is not realistic.

[@charlii5917]

@@petmomful2260 Hmm, I guess because it is cheaper to live. We have bought 3 used mobile homes for cash, so no loan. Our first was on my dads land, so no monthly lot rent. The other 2 have been in nice mobile home parks with cheap lot rent which includes (in our area) water, sewer and trash. We pay electric which is lower than stick built since you aren't heating and cooling large unused spaces and cable. We have always been in single wides and don't think I would like a double wide. Its faster to clean and you don't have a lot of excess knick knacks and decor. You can make a mobile home look and feel like a stick built. The park we are in now is a small 13 unit park with some very strict living rules, but if you are normal good people, they aren't strict if you know what I mean. If anyone causes problems, they are out in a hurry. Mobile homes go hurling down a highway at 70-80 mph for extended periods, so they are pretty solid. If you don't require huge rooms and lots of them, a mobile works great.

[@Jameson77777]

I’m in Connecticut so the mobile homes park options are few & most if not all of them are notorious for illegal activity & being rundown. However I think with our states insane high cost of living & soul crushing taxing mobile home parks are becoming the only option left for low income individuals or people fresh out of college. There is a park near me selling rundown mobile homes for 1k each & I’m seeing investors buying, renovating & selling them for around 25-30k. Hopefully the new people moving in are able to turn it around & make it a safe place to live.

no not always. we live in a 1275sq ft home with 7k in taxes - we are buying a mobile home with about 1250sq ft with 600/month lot fee x 12 = 7,200 which includes sewer and water - which in our current home is about 1500.00 so the 7,200 would be equiv 5,700 - granted we dont own the land still so there is that - but for us - it was cheaper than our current real estate taxes.

Angelique, I enjoyed your video and it actually made me cry with hope. I am a 64 year old grandma, facing a probable legal separation. I have been married since I was 19, never lived alone, and I am frightened. I live in MO and will get half of his retirement money and pension. I would have to keep expenses low. I am on disability, and I am not sure I can work, because of an injury and pain, but I am willing to try. Since I have pets, I was thinking about a mobile home; I doubt an apartment would let me in. I have rescued these animals and will not give them up. I have a very small dog, 3 indoor cats, a ferret, and 4 guinea pigs. The ferret and pigs are in cages, of course. I think I would buy the home outright, so I would only have pad rental. Are there strict rules on the pets you can bring into a park? I do not care about the stigma, or amenities such as a pool. I have 4 grown children that have amenities I can enjoy. I keep a clean house and would like to live in a nice park where I feel safe, and I am sure the prices are cheaper here in MO than in Calif. I need a bit of space, for my sewing and crafting, but I do not need a big space. My main concern is keeping my dear pets. Can you shed any light on this for me? I thank you so much for your video. You are lovely, and your home, behind you, looks lovely. Any advice is appreciated.

The park where I live allows 1 smallish dog. Cats weren't on the lease, but we have one inside/outside cat and a small dog.

I’m looking into mobile homes, and am so looking for numbers! How much are rental fees? I can’t seem to find a round about for that! I do know that mobile homes are much cheaper than stick built homes, so I know the loan would be much cheaper than a regular mortgage, but I don’t know about how much the rental fees to put your home on, would be! Would your monthly rental and the trailer payment round out to be the same cost of a mortgage and property tax?

[@angeliquepurdy4256]

Meli Ssa it all depends on where you live! It’s impossible to give numbers that are going to apply to each and every area. You need to run your own numbers based on the information that you find. I did this by looking at a lot of listings in the area and specifically looking at the rental space fees. Mortgagecalculator.org is a great resource in order to get an estimate on how much a mortgage would be based on home price, down payment, and interest rate. From there, you can add on a rental fee, depending on an average that you see in your area. Hope that helps!

I am 56 years old disabled and about to sell my family stick-built home that I grew up in. It has an upstairs which would never be used and I just can't maintain an 8 room house with a gigantic half acre backyard big side yards and a good-sized front yard. My modular home mobile home isn't really used anymore. The home that I purchase will be the last place I will live and it will also give me the money to travel again. I have lived in eight countries on all but two continents north pole and the South Pole the Arctic and Antarctica. I want to travel back to some of those places and if I kept the stick-built home or purchase another stick-built home I wouldn't be able to do that. Once the tongue and hitch are removed from a quote mobile home it is then no longer personal property but it is real estate. Mobile homes can be safer and more well-built than a stick-built house. Because it is smaller they can put more into the building of it. The one thing I recommend is if that what you are looking at is new and has 24in joists under the floors I would pay the money and have them done at 16 and then the floor will never sag. I will purchase without a mortgage or loan and the taxes lot rent and utilities would come to approximately $500 per month.

You'd have to check with Ohio, county, or city boards to find out what a charge, if any, would be. Some states don't charge a personal property tax for a mobile home when it's in a community. They collect real estate tax and fees from the community that you pay in your lot rent. So, if s fee goes up (such as a levy for schools) your lot rent could increase.

I have a small yard (which was a must for me) As I am retired, I have the time to do repairs-which you being young probably don’t have. I probably have skills/ tools that you probably do not have. Do your research before committing as rent goes up every year. Mine here is $770 lot rental that includes water & garbage & cesspool draining. That is great for NY!!! I do live in fear as most homes here are older like mine & I’ve heard true stories of mobile home parks being shut down by municipalities that claim the land due to intermittent domain causing these MH owners to leave. If your area has a well maintained park & the MH is not too dated I’d say go for it! If it wasn’t for my MH, I wouldn’t be able to live in NY as well as I do now Good luck to you!

longbeach225 that’s not an option where we are currently but there are some land owned parks. You could also buy a plot of land and put a mobile home one it if you’d like as well.

Spoke to a lender today, you can combine the manufactured home and land into one mortgage.

[@longbeach225]

@@richcastle Thanks for that feedback. You were able to buy the land and the manufactured home?

[@richcastle]

@@longbeach225 no not yet , haven't found something to my liking. But I'm working on it.

longbeach225, Some parks you might be able to purchase the land but for most it is park rent. High park rent every month.

Where can you find land in California

[@angeliquepurdy4256]

Kendra Brevard probably more inland. I haven’t done much research on land though

[@LifeByJazz]

Where in CA do you live? I’m looking at a mobile home in San Clemente for 220K

[@angeliquepurdy4256]

Life By Jazz good luck in your search! I’d rather not say what part of CA I live in since I’ve already shared that I live in a mobile home and for safety reasons.

[@LifeByJazz]

I totally understand! I’m a youtuber myself and am careful about sharing info too- thanks again for your video - looking forward to learning more about mobile home purchasing and living from you

[@angeliquepurdy4256]

Life By Jazz thanks! I’ll check you out!

[@LifeByJazz]

Angelique Purdy cool thanks I’d love to hear what you think!

I help youtubers monetize their content online, is this something you’re already doing or have interest in?

Cons the amount of air leakage is insane. There isn’t even a blower door test required. If you live in mobile home just know your energy consumption will be very high. We used to spend 400 in electric a month so that plus the home and park cost more per month than my site built home. I will never go back to giving 400-500 a month to the electric company
