I have to be honest and say I hear this from time to time - people don't like mobile home economics. they say that mobile homes are a bad investment. Is Dave Ramsey full of prunes? I get where you're coming from, but let's take a deeper look at real, truthful mobile home economics. Is it really a terrible investment? Or the people who are telling you that - are they just lying to you? Are they just disgruntled renters? Do they not see farther than the end of their shoes and not see the $35,000? Its is worth a look into the REAL numbers and see what works best for YOU and your situation.

I never thought I would live in a manufactured home but guess what, here I am and I love it. I’m living outside of palm springs. I have always be handy at making repairs and I bought this 30 year old home for $10,000 and that included the land. I added a room and made all the repairs for another $10,000. But I paid cash for everything. I’m 78 and living in a great park with a total monthly over head of $250 per month. That includes everything except food. This is a great way to live, no money worries while on retirement.

The mobile home won’t loose value if you maintain it properly and do upgrades etc. i have a regular house (steel) door that we had put in. Door frame is upgraded too. Also we had a metal roof over done and new skylight because we had a roof leak in master bath; but that is all fixed. The metal roof over adds extra insulation so your heating and AC will cost less. We just put in new faucets in the kitchen and main bathroom sink. I want to do the main bath tub and shower next. And yeah it cost me a good bit but had to be done. Any home needs to be maintained with upgrades and repairs. Nothing lasts forever so you fix it. Mine is a 1999 Liberty double wide 3 br, 2 full bath, fire place. The seller put in new sinks.

I did warranty work on Clayton homes for 2 years and I was working 50 to 60 hours a week and could not keep up with the homes that were less then 1 year old because they are poorly and cheaply built. I have also lived in two my self and constantly repairing them. My sister just sold her Clayton after 6 years and was only able to get 45% of what she paid. There are some other mobil home companies that do a much better job in the construction then Clayton.

I totally agree..I am living in my 2006 16x80 Clayton and it’s so plain. The cost was approximately $36,000 and my parents paid cash. This MH has so many issues like rain water pouring down the walls around every window and I just spent $3500 replacing 8 windows and spending about the same to repair rotted wood on floors and walls! Shame on Clayton Homes for Selling my elderly parents a shoddy MH! I’ve lived in 2 other mobile homes in my life and this is a disaster!! If I could sell it I would! Living on social security and having to come up with money to fix mistakes that incompetent builders made just to make a quick buck makes me sick!

We bought a Doublewide (General) on a 5 acre secluded lot in the country for $25,000. It was a HUD home on and had been vacant for a year before we bought it. It was in pretty rough shape as it had been vandalized and had not been winterized.. burst pipes and all. It was ugly and dated (burgundy carpet and floral wallboard/fake paneling). My goal was to have something paid for quickly with minimal bills. I'm not a Picky Princess so cosmetics didn't bother me. We fixed broken pipes, repaired water damage, replaced flooring and installed new appliances first (came with none) and replaced HVAC unit as it had been stolen. Did that before we moved in. Hubby built a huge deck on the front. I painted walls a solid color. That took a while b/c I wasn't motived enough to do it. I also did major landscaping.. shrubs, mulching, flower gardens etc. This was my first experience of living in a MH. Other than house note, the only bill we had was electric. We were on septic and had well. MH's do require lots of TLC. For people who take care of things themselves it is not a problem as long as you stay on top of it. My husband is really good when it comes to maintenance (plumbing, carpentry etc) and DIY projects. Unfortunately a job change and relocation required us to sell it. We had 7 offers the third day it was on the market and closed on it a week later. We sold it for $65,000 cash as-is and that wasn't even the highest offer. This worked well for us as we had VERY low house payments, no lot fee and house was almost paid for when we sold it. I loved living in the country too. If you are not a do-it-yourself person or do not have the discipline to budget for regular maintenance, then it is a bad idea. Mobile home interiors are not that durable. Not a problem for some of us, but if your house gets more than "gentle use".. i.e. kids who play basketball in the house.. then it might be better to pass on a MH.

As a newly wed in the Chicago area years ago, I found myself needing to move every year or so when apartment rent went up. Friends encouraged us to consider buying a mobile home instead. We were skeptical because of the 'it's a bad investment' wrap. But when we compared living there 'for a while', and being able to sell it for 'something', to living in an apartment and not being able to get any of our rent back, it looked a lot more attractive. So we dove in, bought a 12 or 15 year old home (I don't remember exactly how old it was), lived there for a few years, and then financed the new buyer ourselves when we sold it. A great decision compared to renting! When you rent you get nothing back when you leave. When you buy a manufactured home you get something back when you leave. Something is better than nothing. Thanks Brad!

I did the same thing, about 30 years ago. It was a good decision, then, but Lot Rent in the northern half of Illinois has skyrocketed in recent years and a $500 mobile home payment with a $600+ monthly lot rent payment equals a traditional mortgage payment, nowadays. I'd like to stay here in Illinois but the poor governance has created high taxes and with that, an insolvent situation. I've recently been looking across the state line in northern Indiana, which has a 1% tax cap so the lot rents should be lower. Unfortunately, I haven't located mobile home parks in desirable areas, there.

@Georgina Seal - good for you! It is really all about how well you care for your home... bottom line. Are some manufactured homes built as good as some site-built homes? Generally speaking no. That is also why they are more affordable. But go to any manufactured home states - where their population is heavy - FL, TX, AZ - and you will see 50 - even 60 yr old manufactured homes - still looking good, still holding up to providing a nice home for someone. But people don't take care of them - then people say, it fell apart. Well yeah, leave the window open and let the rain pour in and rot the sill, the wall and the floor - we see it ALL the time. Its not the home's fault, its that person's irresponsibility. YOU took care of your home and it has served you and your family - because of YOU being responsible. Good for you - and congrats on raising your babies and showing them how to live properly. Bless you.

Really nice, but....all of you people out there who are opting for these ice-cold, often gritty-feeling bare floors over having carpet, well....you'll wish you had carpet on those bitter cold Winter nights, trust me on this, because carpet INSULATES like no other. With that said, sure, it's nice....but I'd only ever do this on my own land, though, and I'd have to have it put on a basement foundation for tornado protection (it CAN be done!) but when you add all of that together, i.e., the foundation that I think is a necessity...the DEPRECIATION (sorry, but it's a bare-faced lie and an absolute DELUSION if you think this thing will go up in value; it WON'T, it'll only go DOWN) involved.... UNLESS it's on its own tract of paid-for land, this is ultimately a very poor investment over the long haul. Oh, and have any of you guys who may be considering this type of housing arrangement really been paying attention to what's happening to lot rents and trailer parks? There are literally thousands upon thousands of people who are living in their PAID OFF mobile home who are being foreclosed upon because a bunch of GROSSLY UNSCRUPULOUS "investors" have discovered a new way to exploit people who live in parks and pay monthly lot rent: they are buying up all of these parks, making a few insignificant improvements here and there, and then they're jacking up the lot rents to $850.00 + per month, and when the owners of these PAID FOR HOMES are unable to pay the new and CRIMINAL lot rent increases, they're foreclosed upon....evicted from their own, paid-for homes....because they can't afford the lot rents, and let's face it....have ANY of you still reading this have any idea what the cost is to actually MOVE one of these things?! It's just as cost prohibitive. I would NEVER do this unless I had an improved lot upon which to set one of these things up on. Simple as that. If you don't own a tract of land to live on in one of these things, then DON'T DO IT!

I think mobile homes are great...BUT...I hate those monthly space rents!!! (Which keep going up every year.) Space rents are killers for low-income retired folks just gettings small pensions and social security. Also, are there counties in the USA that allow mobile homes to be placed on private purchased land? If so, whom do we check with--County Planning & Land Use? Great video, by the way, very well done! 😁

A quick way to check if it's possible is do a Zillow search of an area you want to live in for "manufactured homes" only. Disregard any results that are in mobile home parks and you can get a good idea if there are already any mobile homes on private land. If there are any there already it's likely that more would be allowed. Look under the "sold" section too. Not a guarantee but worth a shot.

Many older homes are grandfathered in and if removed can not be replaced with another, however, there are some available on zillow. No traditional bank will finance older models and it is difficult to find a homeowners insurance. There should be Mobile home owners insurance companies like they have mobile home depot. Oh yes, there is a Mobile Home Depot in regions of the U.S. same as home depot, just mobile home sized.

I purchased a 2016 Clayton very pleased with it really nice home . Outer walls framed 2x6 studs shingled roof vinyl windows vinyl siding but like everything else that is manufactured corners are cut I found it around the windows and the framing there's no insulation very drafty in the winter that pretty much makes the insulated vinyl window useless when you have air pouring around it I corrected the problem myself by insulating around each window and upgrading from the factory 2-in flat trim to a 2-in beveled window trim giving it a better lock. Eventually I will replace the base and crown to match my window and door trim. Also finding the plumbing fixtures are less than quality upgrading them to Moen brand fixtures. I understand the economics of installing cheap materials or parts to keep the price down on these homes but Clayton does not earn the title of a quality home when weatherization of windows and doors are ignored and who knows it might be standard practice at the factory or just lazy employees still got my home cheap enough to add these upgrades and be proud of my home

YES! Getting out from under a mortgage allows you to spend YOUR money on more important things, like travel, hobbies, or education. Getting a traditional house and then being a slave to it for 30 years is crazy. Trust me I have done it for 20 years and I HATE it. It's a hole I poor my money into. When you think okay I'll get this problem paid off about a month before you do something else breaks. I want OUT. I was going to buy a used mobile home, but this video has made me think I could afford to get a new one. Thanks so much for making this video.

I lived in a mobile home in Florida for 15 years. It was built in 1970s, and I paid $5000 cash. The biggest thing with mobile homes is the flooring, which is made of particle board. If it gets wet, it gets very soft and you will fall through it. Other than that, I didn't mind living there. Lot rent was about $450 and that included water. It was 2 bedroom 2 bath, doublewide. Huge living room, dining room, family room. An apartment of that size would easily cost $1500 a month. Technically you can move a mobile home, but it is unrealistic to split the double wide, hoist onto wideload trucks, find another park, and then pay to have electric company and water company to hook everything up again. It would cost tens of thousands to do all that.

They increase it once all the lots are full. I'm renting in an Inspire community. The mobile homes are a higher quality... no strips on the walls and 8' ceilings. But after living here for 2 plus years... I can tell you, the materials used are mostly garbage. The second bathroom has a "hotdog" tub thats totally useless. We decided not to buy and are looking elsewhere... especially after discovering that the "trusses" are made out of 2" × 2"'s. If you've never been in construction, which I have, I can tell you that no reputable human being would build any roof with garbage like that. And to increase the living space... they use smaller lumber in the interior walls as well. If you spill something or your kids splash on the floor taking a bath... the floors swell almost immediately... as do the countertops where the seams are. Now, after 2 years, my grill is now an eyesore and must be stored in the shed. Mind you, its been there the entire time. They can change the rules anytime they want, to anything they want to.

It seems frustrating that all the best kitchens in all the houses I view have the microwave in this dangerous place.
@johngaltline9933 2 жыл бұрын
You still have the option to buy a counter top microwave. They tend to go with the over range style in new homes, manufactured or stick built because A: it frees up counter space and most people would rather have the counter space instead of useless cabinets too high and hot to store anything in, and B: because it costs less. at any given quality level a combination microwave/rang hood costs significantly less than what a hood and microwave cost separately. I've never seen it as a safety issue, but if it is for you, you can pick up a really nice counter top microwave for about two hundred bucks and just use the light and fan over the range on the built in... I can't see it ever being cost effective to replace it with a stand alone hood as a basic, ugly, model costs about $130 and any nice model is $300 plus. For reference, the generic, builder grade combo units cost about $230 retail.

The thing to do: Get the smallest payment you can. You're legally obligated to pay that much. Then pay a *lot* more than that; all of the money you pay above the official payment goes toward principal, making it a far shorter time to pay it off. But if you can't pay that much one time because of a family emergency, then you can make the small minimum payment that month.

It was a 12x70 with an 8x11 tip out on the living room. A friend I worked with liked it so much she and her hubby bought a brand new mobile home. Well, we sold that home for only $1800 in 1985. Nothing much was selling because interest rates were ridiculous. We bought a house with 11% interest loan. But we saved so much by living in our mobile that we had plenty for a down pay,net. Add so cheap back then. Walls were so thin, we had frost on our wood paneling! No floor in the lower kitchen cabinets…So glad they are better now. May be my retirement home one day. It was certainly not a bad place to start out….maybe not a bad place to finish out.

I bought my old Victorian in Western Washington. For cash. Always has projects . My house built in 1900 has charm and great bones. It's a small town and the housing prices are much less than other areas in Washington. Paying cash as often as possible is helpful. Every month I pay a "fake" mortgage.. I invest in my home and make improvements.

Please tell me "Where in Washington" I could get a home for less??? I lived in the Seattle area, up & down I5 west coast Washington... Recently moved to Spokane Washington and now 3 years later can't afford any place??? Rents gone from $700 to $1,100 and I'm disabled due to a lovely disease and living on Social security with a monthly income of $1,101.00 a month. Need to find somewhere on this side of mountain now I can just live the best I can physically and know I have a home from year to year??? I'm so afraid of loosing the place I'm renting to a yearly increase?? I would love a single Wide mobile to purchase and own someday.... Would love to do a rent to own small place. I have 5 letters of recommendation that shows I truly am the best tenant anyone's seen. I take care of the home, but "My House" to perfectly immaculate, that's just me. Inside the house and out. I have years of experience and can fix, redo lots of things to improve the property while I'm living there, until God calls me home and then it will be worth more when I'm gone. That's just what I Love to do!!! They only want me to move one more time, the Dr.s I mean... Could be physically deadly, so I'm still praying a place will come along to be my "forever & last home here!!" Sincerely Lori K 💕

I do love the blended colors of the cabinets & counter tops,but not the sharp edges on the counters,when we had our kitchen remodeled they rounded the corners on our counter tops so the younger children would not run into them & get hurt,cut,which does happen.

If you'll pay 1 extra payment amount labeled as "principal only" then you will pay off early. This is something one of my grandma's told me, and she retired as bookkeeper from Macomb county school district in Michigan.

I am impressed, Brad! My wife and I have often thought about living out our final days in a mobile home, single or double wide. This home is beautiful and I love the color of the siding. Diana and I are both retired. We would be willing and able to pay up to $1000 a month. She is physically challenged and is confined to a wheelchair to be mobile. I looked down that narrow hallway to the bathroom and bedrooms and it might be an obstacle course for her. Also, are there any issues to face should we want an overhead carport with a small shed attached? I got pretty excited that you mentioned a waterway just miles from this location. I love to overland camp, hike and fish; canoeing and kayaking are favorite activities for me as well. I just found your channel this morning and you're enjoyable to listen to.

Buy an actual house on land for cheap with cash and remodel it. Its more expensive to remodel and maybe a bit more work depending on whether it has a basement ECT. But the profits will be higher. I just bought a 4 bedroom 2 bath on 1.5 acres for 8k cash on a street that only has 3 houses on it 12 minutes from the capital of WV 😊 look at auctions they are there! But if you want to stick with trailers keep in mind a lot of trailer parks are trying to clean up and either renovate or move out old trailers. A lot of people in these parks are trying to upgrade and selling their old ones so they come available for $3k-7k, and since they are small and don't have actual foundations they can be cheaper to remodel. I worked with this guy who bought his real cheap, remodelled it, paid $12k total and has been living mortgage free for years .. all he has to do is pay lot rent! I decided to get actual property and a house but either way people need homes always they will always be in demand so there will always be money to be made with them!

Heat pumps are extremely inefficient. Come out to Maryland once and see how well you do with just a heat pump heating your home for the entire winter. You'll be at your local Walmart buying up space heaters in no time. That and it runs the compressor year round meaning your going to be replacing it alot sooner. It's one thing if you're in Florida we're you don't really have a winter but in the North That Heat pump will be getting its ass kicked left and right. Add a wood or pellet stove. Do something otherwise your gonna freeze.

And you have no idea how I wish you were in the northeast....I would buy that gorgeous home FROM YOU in a heartbeat....its exactly what I want....its absolutely beautiful....design, colors, set- up...I love it all....just heard at the end you were in Kentucky.... housing in new England is OUTRAGEOUS, with very limited options....I will be 62 this year, and cannot understand why anyone would be anything but happy to have such a beautiful home....the lot rent is reasonable too...the only problem is how it goes up and up each yesr, as I realize EVERYTHING DOES, BUT lot rent makes me nervous for that reason...for instance, what's from stopping the land owners from doubling the rent each year, or worse...that's a GAMBLE....tell me if I'm way off base, thinking that thought.....lol....

I rented a similar model for 5 years. The only thing I was missing is the storage. It needs a walk-in pantry where you can keep important papers e.g. and food supplies. The closets were too tiny for me. I would not buy this model despite it is just functional. It would be nice to have a porch twice this size. The window in the small bedroom is oversized and the windows throughout the home are undersized. There should be more windows anyway. Thank you for a great presentation!
