Should I buy 1 .. I have a 1 year old .. do they flood a lot because it’s 1 floor is it it safe in rain ?

@@hemingwayzydeak1234 If you watch some of her other videos on this topic you'll find a lot of your questions answered there.

A mobile home (trailer) is different than a manufactured home.

I thought about buying one myself within the next 6 months. Is there anything else you wish you would have known before hand?

They're a lot easier to fix when something goes wrong. Especially when one has to go under the house to fix or replace pipes.

@@misterjay4347 If you buy a mobile home the amount of money you save living in it well allow you to save money to buy your own land to put it on.

@@misterjay4347 Things break in any and every home, that's not really something that a persons going to say "dang, I wish I knew I'd have to fix things" with a manufactured home in particular. If anyone wanting to buy doesn't have the funds to maintain their house then it's better to rent and call maintenance for help whenever things break.

Home is where the heart is!

Yes

Gen Z here definitely my family's route

Yeeees

I make over $100,000.00 a year…but I live in Canada, where you have to be a multimillionaire in order to buy a run down crackhouse. This is the only route I will ever have in order to own something

In Vancouver, unless you inherited/bought a duplex or townhouse around 20 years ago before the real-estate equivalent of scalpers took over the Lower Mainland, these Mfd houses would be your only option, and even then you'll have to get used to living with your parents or grandmother, since most if them will be restricted to 55+

Exactly

That's exactly why I did it

Yeah me and my brother are looking at buying and that's what we've decided to do.

I'm considering it because for me it'd be a temporary place until I pay it off sell it, and then use that down payment to get a "better" home. I'm only 22 and already have 10% of the price saved up which should make getting a loan somewhat easy. Still not decided. I'm going to save for another year and consider my options

@@2009blahblah how did it work out for you?

Mmm, I'm currently in the market for a quality used mobile home and I doubt I would go $30,000 for a fifteen-year-old home, even in like-new condition, especially one that is in a mobile home park. You must live in a high-demand area....

I'm thinking you don't live in California. We are having a serious problem with "investors" buying parks and jacking up the price of space rentals, knowing full well that moving older homes is an extreme expense many can not afford. In one S.F. Bay Area park, the rent went from $380 to $2500. New owners. No upgrades. Nothing. It was a shake down, but a legal one. This piracy is a trend that has caught on. Watch out.

JungoJerry - you could have lived under a bridge and saved more.

Where??? Lot rent is $$$$$

Cant yu make yur money back by jus renting it out to a single family who's gonna stay there another 15 to 20 years?

Wow I did not know that!!

Thanks for the info!

And they cost almost as much as a small regular home 😣 I need a 3 bedroom because I have 3 children and 1 on the way. So a family of 6. I can’t continue to live in an apartment! 😫

Vicky Andersen if you get a mobile home it really just depends the location and model on cost but most don’t cost much I have to check again on how much my mobile home costed bc My mom owns it but the mobile home is also on our own land so if you get it in a trailer park it may vary in prices and the mobile home is 3 bedroom and 2 bath

We got one for 170k nice and worth 350 now.

Denise Chestnut it does if you own your own land

I actually did a video to help people renting their land in their parks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orWZermFnJidgn0.html

Do u remember the name of the documentary ?

Name of the documentary?

Morning Kristina, brilliant to hear from you, great you have friends in Liverpool, I also have family in Liverpool, my home is a static caravan. I enjoy reading your information and advice on the Internet, Cheers from Dave in Ireland

Your statement is very contradictory. "As far as investment goes a mobile home seems to make perfect sense only if your main investment is in the land it is on." If you're investing in the land, you're not investing in the MANUFACTURED home. It's only titled mobile if its post-1976. A manufactured home is never and investment. At best, you will sell the property for an increase, not the home.

Neil Revhead more information on that, please.

Bundle package the land and the home?

I'm gonna ask my mom if I can just rent her land, she probably wouldn't charge much 😂

You and your husband will have a happy life if you guys keep that attitude.

Thanks for your feedback, my wife and I are actually looking for a mobile home because of the same reason (rent is so expensive)but we are a little scared since we are first time buyers, we also live here in San Diego.

We are looking at homes and mobile homes in San Diego, and yes it’s way cheaper than a regular home

@@lisabetramsey20 if you want to go inland a bit there are some for sale here in Poway, and just a bit south in Mira Mesa. Best of luck on your search. Also people ARE renovating them so it’s always an option if it’s otherwise in decent condition.

Escondido isn’t a bad to look either if you want to go inland. Same great weather, less money spent on housing.

not so easy if you live in a park. now they make you remove your "trailer" pieces. could be as simply cutting off the towing braces, but could be also to remove the axles. they don't want you skipping-out without finding a new renter. You think you can just walk-away? how can they rent it if yours is parked there? you're going to pay space rent.

That the plan I live in Texas n just bought half acre lot close to the lake can't wait for the Future either mobile/ barn pole home not to sure 🤔

@@steveo78227 all these people moving to rural Oregon. wondering if theyve changed their minds now. lol while whole towns are burning down

That’s my plan for my next home.

20 years still paying for a mobile home? 👀

hope that city plans to build a 2nd 4 lane road outta there....

She is wrong about maintaining your money in your manufactured home if you ground set it it will maintain value more

@@radonnapease8807 so you mean to build on a foundation?

@@ConstructionKronies they can ground set your manufactured

That is true for new constructed manufactured mobile homes but I live in a single wide 1971 Monterey (yes they are still around) and that my dear is a different ballgame. Definitely a trailer that would fall apart if moved. It’s affordable but definitely and appropriately a trailer and I don’t mind the term because it is Home. ♥️

That was my first question. Lol! How u been?

Eddie Smallhorn, Eddie, a mobile home and a manufactured home are the same thing. Same rules.

My mortgage is a private mortgage with Chase. 😱. People, keep that credit score high.

Do you live in California?

Regina Burrell thank you for watching.

you can ask your city for their regulations about which properties (in their eyes) allow (or not) a MFG home. one thing she did not cover here, is your foundation. if you want it to appreciate, and sometimes if you want insurance, then you need a foundation and the home needs to be attached to that foundation.

Sweet do it!

@@KristinaSmallhorn but of course! 😁👍

3d printed home.

@@KristinaSmallhorn Kristina no problem, I am in my third mobile home (over a 50 year span) The man you interviewed stated if you buy a mobile or Manufactured home you can' t add (blow) insulation well that is not true. They drill a small hole and insert a hose and blow the insulation. The problem is that most manufactured / mobile homes have paneling so you can' t repair any holes. made, or at least not easily. I have also noticed many homes have Cathedral ceilings and most single story homes have "a truss type" roof as do mobile and manufactured. by them selves stronger but how are they tied together..if it is only by the plywood roofing...moisture will cause them to lean towards each other and become sloppy and soon you have a leak...My dad and many older people always said "if you can't do it right don't do it at all

@@KristinaSmallhorn It is not just my dad there were many men in my life who taught me many things but most important was to listen. Just because a person doesn't have a Phd doesn't mean the are dumb.

@@KristinaSmallhorn I spent 22 years as a police accident reconstructionist and over 5 more as a private consultant and my experience is that lawyers tend to be the dumbest of the lot ( not all some are very smart) and of course many police are that way as well. When I was in Vietnam and first arrive there as a Flight engineer I had to serve an month so in maintenance and the mechanics like to pull fast ones on the new people..so he sent me on a Fools errand to get a bucket of Rotor wash this is the air that comes off the spinning rotor blade (not a cleaning fluid) so I got a 5 gal bucket and put it on my bunk and went to the PX after an hour i went back and took the empty bucket to maintenance set it down and they said what is that I said rotor wash...I put my hands in the bucket, cupped them and brought out a couple of hands full of air and said you want to feel it, I never had to go an a fools errand again!!!

@@almcallister6490 I agree you don't have to have a PhD, I don't or my father didn't have a PhD, when he came to this country from Italy he and my Italian grandparents came to Scotland then Ireland in the second world war, he was only a child they opened a fish/chip plus ice-cream shop, met my mother who was from N. Ireland, were I was born, a long story short we didn't have a phd or big level of of education, but we did OK like many other people in Ireland and around the world, you dad Al Mcallister was a wish man, did he have Scottish or Irish family as Mcallister is Scottish Irish name, long story short I also in my life time have had 6 different types off mobile homes, over here we call them park homes or mostly know as Caravan static homes, strict laws in some areas about living in such homes, we have damp cold weather so top grad insulation is a must, my home came with standard insulation, but I double underneath the floors and some side walls with space age insulation. My static caravan home ( mobile home) has double glazed windows and gas central heating, two bathroom two bedroom plus hallway way spacious living room and separate kitchen, but we can have blow insulation which most standard bricks and mortar houses get blow insulation have, regards from Dave in Ireland

@@davidtreeyi6377 David ..Yes I am Scottish (or as I have been told it is not Scottish but Scot) My ancestor Annias Mc Allister came to Boston in the early 1700's with a woman Jane Steele...there is some question about coming here with her and not his wife so to give him the benefit of doubt so to speak it is believed that his wife was sick and gave him her blessings to come to the new world. Eventually they would settle in a part of Mass colony that would become Maine and operate a saw mill. My grandmother's ancestor was Stephan Biechlor a Dutchman who graduated from Oxford and his son in law John Wing Also an Oxford Graduate and bother were preachers and his grandson Moses Wing fought in the Revolutionary War at the battle of Flushing and was shot in the leg...he had to have his leg amputated and the only anestisia was to bite down on a stick but was so impressed with the Navel Surgeon the he became a Surgeon"s Mate and then a Navel Surgeon and the first doctor in Waterville Maine. My father never finished HS he had to quit during the depression and worked for my grand father and in 1941 went into the service and served in the Pacfic during WWII. After the war he became a cabinet maker and work for a shop that built several hundred replacement desks for the pentagon.

I agree with you but also keep in mind Hurricane winds can be as high as 156 mph and tornado winds as high as 200 mph don't be fooled no matter how it is built that kind of wind will destroy anything INCLUDING COMMERCIAL BUILDING MADE OF BRICK OR CONCRETE AND STEEL.

@@2008tfe You right...in 1994 HUD revised it's standards for mobile and Manufactured home construction and in 2014 IBHS insurance institute for businesses and homes did a wind tunnel test creating tornado force winds and concluded that manufactured home faired as well or better than site built homes

This video is about mobile homes , not trailers

Same in ga!!

So if u decided to get another MANUFACTURED home would u be putting it in a different location on your land or removing the old 1 and placing it in its spot?...I imagine replacing it in the same spot would be difficult when it comes down to plumbing since its already setup and positioned for the old model...and I'm hesitant on buying 1 if after 11 years your ready to get rid of the 1 u have.

@@MrChangeordie Right! Now I have even more questions. The place where my property is located does not have a lot of residents so it is hard to come by custom home builders. A manufactured home would be great to get around the state regulations. I was expecting the home to last at least 20 years with some minor repairs. None of my family want it after I am gone so I don't need to spend a lot of money.

I have 5 acres got a solitaire manufactured home 170k Now 350k House around are only 80k or less

Property tax in every state varies. In Louisiana property taxes are relatively inexpensive.

I've lived in mine on 2 acres in rural N. Texas. That insures a bullseye on me right? Wrong. I've been hit and the house stayed tight. A wall on my BARN got blown off....

If you think that your stick built home will withstand 300+ mph wind and you'll be safer then I have some ocean front property in Montana I'll sell you real cheap.

Personally, for myself, I would go modular even over traditionally built homes. They are built to higher building codes and are so wicked energy efficient.

Currently using a VA loan to finance a manufactured home. There are just requirements the home has to meet in order to finance it with them.

No problem!

That’s a great question. I’ll have to ask my lender friends. I know that they always state to never remove the plate.

Great question, I'm a realtor, when people buy a manufactured home off a lot a realtor is not involved.

great question because you can be in a real bind. most parks now require you to cut-off the towing apparatuses (axles, tongue, frame for the tongue) so when you leave, you must leave it, and you must sell it. so since your trailer is there, then you will be paying the space rent until someone else rents it.

The mobile home you do own....the land, well that depends if the land is for sale. In most cases in many mobile home parks you don't. You lease the land that your mobile home sit on. Lease and HOA (Home Owner Association) varies. The place I am looking at have a new mobile home for sale and the Lease is #350.00 a month and HOA is $140.00 a month ( HOA includes water, trash, and sewer) at the location I am looking at.

Lol right, i cant see myself buying a 200k house. Id rather get a mobile and some land
