This Is About As Cheap As You Can Get A Brand New Mobile Home...

[@garytorresani8846]

I live in a 1969 single wide one bedroom, one bath along the rouge river in Oregon with a wonderful view. Paid cash for it, redid the interior, replaced the flooring, new fixtures, built an island in the kitchen etc. repainted the exterior. Has a tuff shed on the plot for storage and possible den office in the future. No mortage. Perfect for a single senior like me. Love it.

They want a lotta $ for these brand new trash cans. I bought a 14x72 built in the 90s. Somebody has refurbished the interior, spray finished the walls, changed out the tubs for tiled showers and completely tiles the bathroom floors. They also refloored the rest of it and it already had underpinning. Oh I forgot to mention they also installed a painted metal roof which saved me a lot of trouble from a hailstorm last year. It is on 10 acres of land with a two car garage and spring fed creek out in the country. I paid $85,000 for the whole thing.

[@HerveMendell]

My idea is to buy one of those used construction trailers. You see them on big sites, and you can pick one up used for under ten grand. Inspect them for rust and rot, then repaint and rehab them. The big problem I have found out is the zoning. It's very difficult to find an area that lets you do or build what you want. There are always all kinds of restrictions and nosy neighbors watching your every move. It really disabuses the idea that we live in a "free" country.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Yep

[@frankgrabasse4642]

It's free for big businesses. The rich do what they want. Republicans keep screaming small government. But they only shrink 2 things. 1. Less oversight on big boys. 2. Less help for us.

[@TheValidation]

I bought a 3 acre lot that had a 14×66 trailer on it. The trailer wasn't in great shape but it was livable. I lived there a few years and completely remodeled while I was living there. Then I sold it and made a really nice profit. The same people who brought the trailer still live there and they love it. If you were on the inside, you would never know you were in a trailer. These are great options for people tight on cash

I have a 2020 that is the same as the second one but without the middle bedroom. Clayton Tru Delight. I bought it brand new in 2023 on a half acre lot for $35k. It had sat for 3 years and never lived in. Everything was still in the plastic. The guy bought it for $60k and put it on this $10k lot plus put in a long concrete driveway and power pole. He intended to make money selling this as a land/home package. He lost $, but I definitely WON! It's a good home, but being all electric, the heat bill is higher. Electric is decent the rest of the year, though even with central air. My only complaints are that they cheap out on shelving and closet racks, but you can always add more since there is room and that the vinyl siding is starting to get wavy/buckle because of the heat and sun.

They are basic. Nothing eye-catching, but inexpensive. However.....where the real cost comes in at is the land you set it on.

Thats without any water, electric, gas, propane, sewer, etc. Even mobile home parks run $600 to $1200 a month in my area.

The real cost of one of these is a stick built home can triple in value over 30 years where these depreciate in value. Land becomes more valuable to sell without a trailer park for other users. So you may be searching to move before it's paid off. My city don't allow trailers in the parks that are over 20 years old to obtain a license to operate. Parks are closing across the city and no new parks are allowed to be built. Trailer houses are not that portable as a 5 wheel camper or moter home. Taxes on trailer houses and permits must be up to date to move.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

I’m not moving it to a park I own the land, it is going to be a rental, so why would I take a loan on it? It’s gonna be paid for when I leave. A rental will pay you back 20 times in 30 years.

Damn I checked the price on one back in 2019 that looked better than that one and I was quoted $ 32,000 that included delivery setup under pinning and new Heat pump with air, for a 14x 60 , I remember buying a 32x60 double wide in 1995 with heat pump under pinning setup with concrete footers turn key ready to move in and I paid $35,000 for that one and it was very nice it had 22 cabinets just in the kitchen with fridge dishwasher fire place 3 bed 2 full baths, washer and dryer, after financing it was $52,000 I can't be leave how much things has went up.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Yeah, thanks have tripled

I purchased a skyline in 1985 all in and setup on a lot for 15K, it was 14x70 and really nice. Hard to believe what they want now. Oh yea and if says Clayton, run like hell.

[@ronnieterry4916]

A few years ago a twelve wide and fifty feet long mobile home was thirty nine ninety five that was $3,995.00 and the ten wide by fifty feet long was twenty nine ninety five that was $2,995.00 the actual length was about 47 feet long and about three feet in the tongue. And both prices included delivery and set up but the customer furnished the concrete blocks. Mobile homes are way over priced now days. Also back then the mobile home company would buy the tires and axles back from the customer for $150.00

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Them days are gone

[@derricklangford4725]

These have no wood in the walls (only studs) its gypsum board, pink insulation craft paper and vinyl siding. Freddy kruger could put his hand right through the wall. An OSB wrap used to be around 1500 dollars extra.

[@maegardnermills4292]

Couldn't they be bricked outside, or is that a code violation?

[@mybrotherdonnie]

@@maegardnermills4292 I do not know

[@philipvandoren8435]

@@maegardnermills4292 I have seen people brick doublewides on the outside once the foundations have been made permanent. You would not be allowed on a singlewide unless you owned it, and not the bank. Bricking all the way up the siding makes the house immovable. its not a matter of code really since codes are local and houses have been built with brick siding against stud walls for decades. These houses are code and the brick is code. The OSB wrap really locks the place up tighter than just vinyl siding craft paper pink fiber and gypsum wrapped wall board.

The older ones have t13 in them which the power bill in the winner is usually less than $100

Usually they won't go below $50K because underwriters will not make any money. 😢

Even the dude at the office was a crackhead, and used to steal the lot rent checks, and attack his lot renters. It got ugly, in a hurry. I had a double wide, not easily moved, and was stuck there.

I know you guys are busy ,but I have to ask because I am just having a hard time with realtors well just one that I contacted to purchase a home .I feel like he just didn't want an out of stater to move into his town .he told me that he didn't have any cell reception to send me the info and contract papers to sign . So my question do you know of any dealers like Southern choice homes in North Carolina. We're I could get land and a home .I have been searching for homes in Kentucky,north Carolina, Tennessee,and a bit in south carolina.but my family really wants to see snow again come winter. Sorry so much info. Just stressed out a bit .I really need to move out of south Florida by february.my very expensive lease is up then .

[@mybrotherdonnie]

We haven’t seen any snow in the last three years North Carolina or South Carolina around us anyway, I don’t know of any mobile home dealers in North Carolina

Try to Google the areas you are interested in. There are mobile home dealers in those states.

Thank you ,

[@lunsy9420]

I've seen some double wides that were close to 200k. They are nice as a regular home but they lose value imstead of gaining. A trailer used to be a good option to save for a traditional home but not anymore

Over the few years, they have not been losing value like they normally do

What is really messed up is I noticed as soon as you walked in the front door in the floor is an HVAC vent right where you would possibly put an entertainment center or a couch or something right in the middle. Not a good idea for placement of that. Should be on the exterior wall anyway

They’re doing it right down the center
