How are these homes cheaper, I was planning on getting one because i am young and cant afford the average $400,000 home here in Phoenix ($600,000 if you want to be in an area without violence) , but now as i look into all the manufactured homes here, not only do i have to pay monthly on the price of the home itself, but they want to charge like $700 per month lease rent on top of that for the land you are on and then HOA fees on top of that. So, even if i pay off the manufacture home its like I still have to pay rent indefinitely and worry that they might increase it and i cant do anything about it... I swear as a young person nowadays its like I can't win and cant get started in life and i didn't come from a family who can afford to give me a loan or anything its bs.

Don't be so discouraged about the monthly rent. Even if you own your home, keep in mind you have to pay taxes every year (at least it's the case here in texas). For me that runs about $7k. I went to a trailer park (nice one for that matter) they charge $500 monthly. In the end I'd be saving money (if mobile home was paid for of course).

I have been watching the housing market closely in my area, and my husband and I LOVE. some of the floor plans of manufactured homes. I found one online which is already on a piece of land. I also discovered that it has been moved to the back of the property due to a drainage issue. When the homeowner requested a permit from the county, a neighbor disputed the request because he thought it would decrease his property value. The home still was moved. It's a 2018 model that has never been lived in.

I can add this - as I was in the business (a long time ago). They are built BETTER because of some level of automation, jigs, and quality control; tolerances are tighter, things are properly connected, fastened, glued, attached, material quality is more uniform, no shortcuts are made because the trade run out of some materials or he is too tired. Certain (weak) materials are avoided - which are OK on stick-builts - b/c they lack the necessary strength to hold it together on the road. They have to withstand the rigors of transport that's also contributory to higher quality and strength. They don't look high-end, true, but beneath the skin, they are better than on-site stick-built houses - generally speaking - albeit I have seen rare(!) exceptions.

[@fashionforwardmom]

You left out rain delays if the ground is moist they won't deliver a mobile home. If it is sprinkling rain they will not deliver it either. Also you have to wait for porches to be made which can take weeks depending on the weather. You also have to wait for tie downs. Usually it is a week before you can move in. You also forgot the 911 address request on new land sites that can take months. Inspections of the land that the county has to do and they have to approve where the home is going and how far from the septic and water it is. Power poles to be installed by the power company is another wait. Water hook up yet another delay that you may have. Also in South Carolina you can have your mobile home on blocks as a foundation which is by far the cheapest option. Oh I almost forgot you have to wait for the skirting to be done as well. County will not release it to be moved into so your power and water can't be hooked up until the county comes back out to see the skirting. There is truly allot involved in buying a new mobile home.

[@dawnpetitt8162]

In NC I learned that as long as the driveway was gravel there was no “storm water fee”. ( only about $9). But when I put concrete on the driveway to the manufactured home , the city water department sent a bill for the fee, even though the home was served by a well on site and had no water bill.

[@peterirvin7121]

The storm water fee is due to the increased runoff from your concrete driveway.

If you plan on building on your own or rented property in Oregon, you need to get a site inspection through the state, county or city. This does not include the final set up inspection which will include the entry porches. Most dealers will include a site prep fee but the inspection is still necessary. Some manufactured home parks will cover the site inspection through the rent you pay. There are also home owner responsibilities that the park does not cover. Read the rules of the contract thoroughly before signing and be prepared for a full credit and background check.

[@carrieannmcleod5219]

In Santa Clara county CA, your mobile home must be in a mobile home park. So even if you can buy property, you won't be able to place your home there. There are numerous counties in CA that allows for that but not here. The space rent is raised annually (about $30) and the amount fluctuates, depending on how much gas and electric you've used. My base rent is over$1100, so my average monthly rent this year is around ~ $1200+). Of course, it'll be a little higher next year. It is pricey but the weather is great, it's safe and my lot is big for all my vegetables (and I found out that I can have up to 6hens without a permit.

The cost of electric hook ups, steps to entrances and plumbing hook ups were not mentioned. You need to put metal awnings over windows and doors or else water will get in and rot the walls. Most buildings have the roof stick out to protect the home, but that's impossible for home that gets moved. Remember that the South and West side are the hottest. If you live in a cold place, you may want to put a blank wall facing North and put your garage there to protect from the cold wind. A covered deck on the South or West side will give shelter from heat, but if you look up the winter sun levels at your latitude, you can slant the roof so it gets winter sun. Placement is extremely important for energy bills and cost of foundation. Get a place where you have space to add a couple more manufactured homes in the future for extra income or to build your dream home in the future. I have 4 manufactured homes. Borrow from relatives and buy a trade in with cash! You'll save big. Always pay back with interest and the Bank of In-laws will always be at your service!

I’d caution, you don’t want the best rate insurance. You want the best coverage insurance. 🧐

[@chimdinwoko7476]

Could you do a video on what minimum size lots would go with single wide homes and so on?

[@gabrielgomez731]

Yeah alot of nice mobile homes here cost between 280k to 594k and lots cost between 70k to 200k.. so easily doing this cab cost about 1M... but buying a home is 50k... for a small home... being a home owner isn't for our generation unless you are rich

[@Crusader1984]

Some foundations are made out of dirt rock materials like rubber! Our wells in Florida are about $3800 -$6000 to go about 80 feet!

Sometimes i think i made a mistake buying a manufactured home in san diego. The lot fee is $1390 plus about $250 for utilities and i pay $1502 in mortgage. And the lot fee goes up every year about $50. Total its about $3200 per month for a 3 bedroom. But then avg rent for 1 bedroom apt is about $2000 in san diego.

Don't buy in Oregon. the building permits are close to impossible for any building here. The county puts roadblocks for everything you want to do. Seems corporations are building shared big apts (apts where the corporation rents each room not the whole apt) .We are only trying to replace a 1965 mobile home for a new one so everything is in place but the county is ridiculous. We are definitely using. a local lender like you suggest. Don't use the salesmen or women. So many fees. They charge manufactured home settings extra for mandatory flood assessments by an engineer then one must raise the homes higher and you must have floodgates. Few contractors are available. it takes years to get it done in this state. Insulation and thickness of walls, roofing.

[@johnmackey3937]

There are some parks where you own the lot, this can keep prices up, even for older mobile homes. Trying to buy in florida. VA doesn't mortgage coop mobile homes, from what my Veterans United loan officer said, not even a coop in a building.

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

A lot of great information and advice. Hope people listen to all of it.

[@emilymayle5674]

We just closed on one and after 12k for the foundation (crawl space) 40k for land, then the house and bringing the house and hook ups and all that I spent just over 200k

[@glenellbandy2670]

Outstanding video! Thank you. This is very important info.

[@alexcampbell4297]

It def doesnt help that the same predatory behavior that exist in the housing market are trickling down into MH market and the worst part they know people cant afford to fight back

[@dane5678]

great info thank you

[@xNCFOREVERx]

Our bank wanted a lot more so we actually went with the lender they had at the manufactured sales place. My bank makes us do 15 year mortgage instead of a 30 year

[@markaven5249]

Got mine for 40k and finishing up just now after 1 1/2 years (yes covid labor shortage delays). Cost to set up was about 140k and that's on a mountain (don't do that), and will sell for 250k because it's got wrap around mountain views and is 5 mins from a resort and neighboring a golf course, however....it will probably sell for more like 220k, though no housing is available in this area so we'll see what happens.

[@Clueless2019]

Such great advice! THANK YOU!

[@girlyjulia771]

I dont know where your getting info from. Lot rent in Indiana is over $500. Has been for a while

[@HelloSunshine-ws9ms]

Great information! You brought such insight on things I hadn’t considered.

[@Machenziethemodel]

Prices have gone up. I had one building said they were not going to stop charging me until the mode was completely built and sitting on my land. I was wow so no home for me.’

[@patriciaribaric3409]

I am living a nightmare. I live in a two story house, but an accident injured my knee. Climbing stairs is monstrous. I need something all on one floor. Seven years ago I could have gotten a home for $20,000 because everyone was loosing their homes. Now there is nothing to buy. I have an extra buildable lot next to this home. Where can I find an affordable home that is small, handicap accessible, that is available to be delivered to my lot 25 miles west of Cleveland Ohio?

[@AurielGrace]

I have found a couple of parks where you own the land. 💗 Is there any problems with that?

[@perpetualmotion8090]

I wish they had that in my area. Parks around here don't want to sell to you, they want the rental income forever.

[@ginadelsasso288]

@@perpetualmotion8090 same with my area.

[@ginadelsasso288]

@Auriel Grace I wonder how the property taxes are divided out on a piece of land that several people own lots on it. I have never heard of people owning the land inside the trailer park. There has to be some type of catch. Like they charge you a lot more for utilities to your plot of land.

[@AurielGrace]

@@ginadelsasso288 In these parks you own the lot and pay 90-150 a month HOA fee. Takes care of the landscaping and upkeep of the park.

I got my house in 2017 and have not looked back.

[@ajcossuto3969]

The only thing the single wide or double wide are trailers do not considered houses. So when you get a loan, they depreciate.

[@rosscop65]

Never buy into a HOA

Your makeup looks great! Great information.

We live in a mobile home in a park and still have to pay taxes. Here in Oklahoma they call it personal property tax.

[@anitawaters9275]

Thank you Kristina this is a wealth of information, greatly appreciate it. As a buyer you have to do your due diligence so you know what your getting into.

OHH absolutely forget the question of how long this process is going to take,, whatever time they tell you triple it a the least.. First because it was an Fha on our own lot,, it took 7 weeks just to get the appraiser,, now that doesn't include the time to get the report back and proceed at 2 weeks for that,, then it was 2 months to close,, so just the loan process was 7 months.. then 2 months to wait for the excavator because he was the one that quoted the job, 1 month to get the house delivered (which was already on the lot at the dealer) some rain delay for the concrete to put the house together,, April started the wait for the Cinder blocks now it we are at the 6 week mark and still no sign of blocks.. the electric has been hooked up, we also had gutters added and they have been done,, HVAC guy super nice and that part finished, spetic was already installed previous to starting. SO bottom line they will lie,, lie lie about a done timeline..
