Thank you so much!

@joyceg7859 it's a double wide 64 x 32. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Thank you! 🤗

Thank you so much 🤗

@lyndar9442 No we did not. Thankfully we had equity built up in our last home we sold. So we financed just the cost of our home. And paid for everything else cash. We did not do a typical mortgage instead we financed it like a car. Most banks or mortgage companies won't finance a used mobile home. But with good credit you can finance it like a car. Which worked great for us because we didn't want to carry a mortgage into our retirement. Our payment is still cheaper than our monthly mortgage payment was on our stick home. I'm not saying our banker wouldn't have loaned us more to cover cost...that wasn't our plan from the beginning. A lot really depends on your relationship with your banker. I would discuss with them before any plans to purchase a used home. Thanks for watching!

@iveriani Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. 😊

@@zaxles living near family has been wonderful for us! I'm sure you can find just the right sq footage that will work for you. Thanks for watching! 😊

@joy2come119 the lady we bought ours from used, was a wealth of knowledge! She bought it new just a year and a half earlier. She told me a lot and kind of walked me through a few things.

@Chrismo59 you are welcome! Glad it helped.😊

@DebbieLancaster I have another video that breaks down the cost of everything! Hope you'll give it a watch. We aren't totally finished with everything outside. Just had a covered front porch built and a deck/stairs built at the side entry. And about to start on a screenroom on the back side of the home. But when we are finished we should have right at 160k in it. That's building the pad, driveway, set up, remodel, septic, everything. Again if you want a break down of what each thing cost, go watch The TRUE Cost Of Purchasing And Moving A Mobile Home. Thanks for the comment!

I've only heard negative things about Clayton homes

So glad it helped! Thank you and God bless you! ❤️

You're welcome!

It's about 1950 sq feet.

It's about 1950 sq ft.

The price of land will vary a great deal from state to state. Even from county to county. Land is much cheaper in the county we currently live in vs where we moved from. The price will even vary depending on the acreage. Sometimes 1 acres will run more than the price per acres in a 10 acres track. So it's best to price in the area you are interested in living. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you.

Just add what she said to whatever the price of land is.

This is just shiplap. You can purchase it at Home Depot or Lowes and even some discount stores. I primed it and painted white. We are fortunate the tv outlets were already in place. The shelves are lumber from Home Depot..sanded, stained and varnished. I found the brackets at Hobby Lobby very inexpensive.

We found it for sale from an individual on Marketplace.

Thank you for watching!

We considered a modular as well. We were in contact with a manufacturer and were real close to ordering one with our own specifications. My husband had a co-worker who had recently purchased a modular...and he was so excited and hooked us up with his sales person. Everything went downhill after his purchased. He ended up having a horrible experience. I'm so glad we waited and went with a mobile home. We saved a lot of money going this route. There's a lot to consider with either option. Yes..make a list and do your research! Good luck!

Let me check! I know it’s a Sherwin Williams. I think it’s called Linen but I will double check and find the Sherwin Williams number and let you know. Thanks for watching!

You are welcome! Thanks for watching. 😊

Thank you! 😊

It's a Winston Houston. It was just 2 yrs old when we purchased it. It was made in 2020. Thanks for watching and for the sweet comment!

The floors are CoreLock the Castle Collection and the color is Berkeley. You don't glue them down they lock together. We LOVE the floors! We did these floors in one room in our last home. So we knew we liked them! They were the closest thing I could find to match our real hardwood in the rest of our home. I haven't done a video in a while. I had an injury to my spine back in the summer and it's taken a while to get to the right Dr and I'm finally in Physical Therapy and getting some relief. I've had to put home projects on hold for now. I'm hoping to get back to doing some projects soon!

@@Mobilehomerenovation Thank you!

Thank You!

Thank you! ❤️

Prices where I live are still going up even without a foundation or basement and keep in mind not everyone can afford a foundation it's about owning something that's yours that you can be proud of. ❤

The best scenario seems to be owning the land first. Then put a mobile home on it. Mortgage free in 10 years. Not 30 years. 👍

Howdy! Experienced real estate appraiser here🙋‍♀️ I have lived in a mobile home on land for 23 years now & financed the house & land together with a FHA loan! I am also considered 100% real property. I have appraised many mobile homes that are considered real property & they are appraised the same exact was as any house. It is taxed, backed by govt loans, is appraised at 100% market value & builds equity just the same as any other house. So, for me, my mobile home purchase has been 100% my greatest investment, especially now after 23 years, knowing what I paid for it & seeing what I could sell it for today! I have 0 regrets with my mobile home purchase. I'll make a significant profit when I sell & I'm very happy about it! Also, Hud revised the requirement & regulations on mobile homes years ago & they have to be inspected to verify many things such as the correct building material used & is up to code on local state & fed regs. to pass to get approved before occupancy, if it doesnt pass, you have to correct the issue & get reinspected again. Mobile homes have came a very long way! unfortunately the stigma still follows them because people are not aware HUD stepped in years ago to monitor & regulate the industry, Mobile homes slzo have so many styles & floorplans to choose from these days but with that being said, , a mobile home in a communtiy is a different story cuz land is leased, so most homes in a park are considered personal property & will need to be registered & titled with the state however, the home could still be transported to private property, put on a permanent foundation & complete the necessary steps & covert it into real property to derive equity!

Depends on your area. Supply vs demand, my doublewide on 10 acres w a beautiful pond and a stream is worth almost 400k in nc, there are so many people flooding to nc thst a piece of crap single wide w holes in the floor doesn't last on the market a week. I bought a double wide from a repo company, double wide trailer no matter the condition. Would sell in less than 24 hours , we thought we'd take our time and go take a gander and they were gone! So the this happened 3 times, to where. Like I said. You had to jump. We bought a 98 model 2200 sq' for 26 cash only! Cost us almost 10 grand to move it 80 miles in 2 trips , I completely gutted it , all new electric new floors 2 ply opposite direction. Took everything trailer out of it. New roof , 2x6 walls , I over built it. Not quit finished yet , couple months I we will be in , but the wheels are off , it's about to be on block foundation, a married the 2 halves permanently w 2x6 walls , and put a 19' beam down the very center of the house. So it's very open and huge , all for cash money. No mortgage, we put 30 grand into it another 8k for well and 6k for septic , what's important to us was we are in our mid fifties , didn't want a mortgage , and that's what we've accomplished, and as I said worth way more than what we have in it

Anything beats being homeless

There are not enough homes for the people thst want to live anywhere. Supply and demand 101, I know a repo man who can't keep I shit trailer w ceiling hanging because of a roof leak and soft bathroom floors, on the market in nc for more than 72 hours , cash money purchase only and its gone , usually in under 48 hours of listing , we drug our feet on a couple listings found out on a Friday, went to ck it out on a Monday, already sold, we let another one in similar condition, 90's needed pretty much gutted, ,we himmed and hawwed a couple days on that one also it was gone sold cash money in 24 hours , so the morale of the story is sometimes you don't always get what you want , and sadly we live in times where you can't get the pick of the litter , we are currently in a take what you can get while it's still available kinda world , go try and buy your shoe box , that that person on their high horse says is worth nil, a new single wide is 98-120k people's! That's f#$$%$$ ridiculous, it's taken me 2 yrs and I rebuilt the double wide for 26k cash , on 10 acres w a stream and a pond that's worth 350 now , I will take that over cookie cutterville cul-de-sac hearing your neighbors getting it 350 k for your new stick built on top your green haired neighbors from jersey house all day long.

I'm so sorry about the loss of your husband. Best wishes on your move! 🙏

Thank you! ❤️ 😊

Awe...thank you so much! ❤️😊

I'm glad the video helped! It's been about 2 yrs since we looked but from what I remember Clayton was a well made home. I don't think they have all the bells and whistle some manufacturers put into them but that's just aesthetics. So that part is your personal preference. I heard good things about Clayton being well built. We went on TH-cam and watched a video of how a Winston is made and everything they put into the structure. You could probably do the same with a Clayton. But I will say your set up crew has a lot to do with whether you have problems. If you are buying straight from the manufacturer/dealership you shouldn't have a problem. They should warranty everything and make things right if you have any problems. Of course we purchased used. Also make sure you are there when the trim out crew is there and make sure they do the job to your satisfaction because getting them back out is usually where people have problems. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the sweet comment! What you wrote is exactly why we did this. Not only to be near family and help them in ministry but to live well below our means. You can do this! You will feel SO much freedom! Blessings to you on your journey!

@@Mobilehomerenovation thank you!

Thank you so much for watching! Wishing you the best in your search for a new home! Thank you for the sweet comment. ❤️😊

I'm so glad it helped you! God bless you in whatever you decide to do. 😊❤️

You would have the expense of moving the old one out and moving the new one in. The plumbing is already there so you wouldn't have that expense other than running the pipes to the bathrooms and kitchen..doubt they would line up perfectly where the old ones sat. You would need an electrician to hook up the electrical even though it's already running to your house you still need an electrician to hook it up. And an HVAC person to hook up your AC. God bless you to find the right one you're looking for! 🙏 ❤️

​@@Mobilehomerenovationhow do you know all this stuff lol. I would be so lost on the steps to take.

@joy2come119 I don't know a lot about mobile homes per say but my husband and I have built 2 stick homes. I renovated an older home before and I purchased and renovated a few homes in the past with a business partner to flip for profit. It's really just asking questions like you are doing and stepping out and taking the risk. But the mobile home thing was all new to me. It was a little scary to be honest!

Thank you! I'm so glad it helped. I really just want other people to know all that is involved. 😊❤️

So sweet of you to say! Thank you so much. I'm glad they are helping you and thank you for watching! 😊❤️
