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.
Let me know what you think about this video in the comments below! I hope you enjoy this mobile home walk through video tour. Mobile home for sale by owner.

here's one we have right now: th-cam.com/video/-3mKwG4d214/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgyZ_ehMAnghsxJXDfF4AaABAg
I don't mind living in a mobile home but I want to own my land. I would never pay lot rent. Paying lot rent for life to me is money down the toilet. And property almost never looses it's value as where the mobile home does.
USDA rural dev loan
I do the same like this guy for a living and I will tell u straight land is pricy as u well know and unless u have a big down payment and can pay off fast most land owners will tell u straight they want cash.What u can do though is buy a an older mobile for 10k or less put it on a lot and hurry up and pay your home off fast then u only have lot rent and then u can save for land.It's not easy and takes time.U can buy good used mobiles for 10k pretty easy.
@TIA SVETNIK not to mention digging a well, septic etc. also I like the pole barns with living quarters built in, that’s a good way to live until a house can be built. If only I could convince my wife of that.
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.
only problem is when you buy land and put a mobile home on it it loses value and you can never put a regular house on it once it's zoned for mobile
Modular homes are cool I believe the quality is comparable to a traditional site built dwelling some of the options are really neat the money you save you could do a garage or pole barn Some high end landscaping a pool with a gazebo some high end playground eqiuipment for the kids a professional built BMX course for the kids with all the ramps & risers Loop de loops outside fireplace & kitchen & waterfall with a rock wall that has multi color lighting
I wouldn't live in a Clayton mobile home if it were given to me! I worked for VMF for 7 yrs on the in-house financing & the problems with these homes is rediculous & I hope people do their homework, look up Clayton homes & Vanderbilt Mtg and read the horror stories! I felt sickened when going out in the field to actually see some of the complaints these customers had! Not in a million years would I consider homes that have Clayton on them & there's several others under the same umbrella as Clayton homes Love Homes, the list is long!
My Clayton modular is a piece of junk, 4 yrs old and falling apart. The doors all stock, some are almost impossible to open. The kitchen cabinets are press board and disintegrating. I've replaced outside vinyl, water heater, and the entire HVAC system. I've had other plumbing problems, replaced the carpet and you can't wash the walls as it tears them up. I love the floorplan, windows are quality but that's about all that is nice.
Palm harbor has a good reputation but they cost more.
Lot rent is forever and continues to increase. If you add up 20 to 30 yrs you could purchase a regular home
Clayton Mobile Homes have wall studs every 24 inches, which means that they are cheaply made. Fleetwood Mobile Homes have wall studs every 16 inches, which means that they are made better. So for me, Fleetwood is the better built home.
Hi Brian Underwood, that may have been true back in the 70s, but since the inception of the HUD Code in 1976, all that changed. Since June 15, 1976, all manufactured homes in the United States have been built according to HUD building codes. The HUD code is a national standard that overrides all local building codes. And that includes 16" wall stud spacing. I agree Fleetwood and Clayton are both a good product - with very few differences in quality. With hundreds of homes that have been in our communities, I will say there are terribly made homes and there are well made homes --- with all of them, one of the biggest threats is the owner not maintaining them. THAT we see all the time. Maintain your stuff people. Go VIP here: to know of new properties - BEFORE they hit the market - BluegrassTeam.com/homefinder
@@BradSimmons-I checked with Clayton in 2019. The salesman told me that the wall studs were 24 inches apart. I also checked with Fleetwood in 2019. The salesman told me that their wall studs were 16 inches apart. This was less than 2 years ago. I would much rather have the Fleetwood with the wall studs 16 inches apart. I honestly believe that the Fleetwood is made better and more structurally stronger.
Hay you have a piece of vynal siding unlocked on the back of that there single wide trailer. ...

Never buy a manufactured home to place on land that is not yours!! If anything goes wrong, what the heck happens to your home?
Fact, mobile homes are sub standard on every level. I am unmoved on this opinion because I have owned 3. And by the grace of God.... never again. Don’t be fooled by fancy advertising and pictures. The last one I sold, my feet were kicking me in the rear as I got out. Rotten leaking roofs, floors, water heaters, plumbing leaks, electrical issues, If you saw how the joist boards are just cheap scraps of wood scabbed together you would understand. I have a special place in my heart for Fleetwood..... yeah.
Is that with lot rent cost too
Good morning from SE Louisiana 13 Jul 21.
Hi Bill Morris, GOOOOD MORNING!!!
Where is this at?
You sound like an expert in manufactured homes. Great job on the video. However, you are 100% incorrect about site built homes going down in value for the first 5-10 years from purchase. Huh?
@KB Me - without appreciation - which is not guaranteed and inflation - which is just your dollar shrinking by the massive printing of money the gub is doing... how is it that new homes go up in value when the furnace, roof, etc are 5 or 10 yrs older??? Would you pay the same - or MORE for a 10 yr old appliance? Furnace? AC unit? Of course not.
My point is the US Govt makes us takes a mandatory 3±% depreciation - because indeed the building is going down in value. the land is going up --- inflation is making the house go up, but the truth is the windows are getting worse every year.
This point is to not beat my chest that I am an expert in Real Estate - or Wheel Estate. Nor is it to knock SFHs (which I live in myself). My point is to not put fear in your hearts if a house, Mobile Home - or any real estate.
My point is to help you see that whether it is a site built home with 2x10 floor joists and 2x6 walls - or a Manufactured home with the same framework that we are discussing, you must maintain a building on a regular basis - or it will turn to rubble in 30 yrs...
No, of course not - the typical MHs are not the investment a SFH can be --- however, the taxes are way lower, the barrier of entry is way lower, the monthly is more affordable --- and the maintenance is the same... and paid off in 10-15 yr, not 30.
Even a MH on a rented lot has value when it is paid off in 10-15 yrs - as opposed to a 30 yr note on a SFH.
I am in the process of securing a construction loan to by a lot and put a double wide on it. Now I have been looking at many trailers and some cheep and some expensive
of course the quality goes up with the price but what you are showing I would never except. The skirting looks horrible and if I were you I wouldn't show ceiling area of the front porch. I stopped this video 10:23 and looked down the side of the trailer and even the side is all wavy it and bulging witch shows bad framing. I just wonder what this would look like in 15 years. These type homes are where the name trailer trash comes from. However there are much better built manufactured homes out there that will hold there value and qualified construction companies that set the trailers up properly. I think the Captain another ship to sale.
I like to speak to this guy about a home
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.
Salton City?
John Adams , Desert edge, east of desert hot springs.
Nice congrats you should coupon for food and essentials
John Adams Where I live we own our land, it’s included in the purchase price. However, we do have an association fee of $200 per month. That includes water, trash service, sewer, gated property, two naturally heated hot tubs, a large natural heated swimming pool, club house with animities, Southern California weather. 5 miles to Palm Springs.
@@nevadaokie1667 are there any other properties for sale?
There are mobile home parks where you buy the property and setup your mobile home. That is what my son did. He got a double wide and bought a double wide space lot. Now he owns the double wide and the property it sits on.
What state? Do you know if this can be done in Kentucky?
I need to find a place like that tonmy mother she does paid her mobile home but the manager there took advantage of her because i were robbed in the property,so spoke with some people and they all went to court to put my mother out her mobile home in lee county florida at 541 tice court resort park he must have alot cash because i will get that mobile home out there and he will pay everysingle penny that waist out his poket because i know his wife will not spend a dime on his ass for been a dumbass

Own or pays rent on the lot! I dont want to own my home and still pay rent!
They dont tell you that set up permits,delivery, grading, etc costs you about $25,000 EXTRA. But you get an icemaker!!!!
Hi onein inone, yup, that is true for a street dealer. We have it all included in there for you. Yes, we sell our homes wholesale - and that is your final total.

And a HUGE tub....lol
They want you to build on THEIR PROPERTY....yeap and then you have to deal with your " condo commanders" never ever again.
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.
Hi Ron Alves, we are not married to Clayton - let me know which ones you think are better and we'll bring some of those in to compare - I'm game. Go VIP here: to know of new properties - BEFORE they hit the market - BluegrassTeam.com/homefinder
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!
@@BradSimmons i like Solitaire who has ash wood cabinets; they tape and float the seams in the walls, and they have double insulated windows, as well as 2" faux wood blinds. I'm an empty nester so 2 BR is ok for me.
Agreed. It's surfacy pretty, but still looks cheap and trailery. I can see the cabinet doors coming apart in a few months, the cheap counter tops coming apart, and water leaking in somewhere is inevitable.
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.
Like he said this property may not be right for you, however this is affordable housing which is right for A LOT of people! Get off your high horse and make the decisions that’s best for you and your family! Stop worrying about the Jones’!
It is ALWAYS about what works for you, nobody else. Simple guideline that works every time. Though we live in a collective mind set, we are still individuals with individual needs. Create your own World that is working for you and be Happy with it. It's that simple!
Let the whole church say amen 🙏 2 that
Right. But he was just pointing out the downside of not owning the land because when the government comes around and wants it back as they always do, You're screwed how do you move your house not everyone can do that either. he was just pointing out one of the cons not one of the pros no big deal you don't need to give him a tongue lashing over it. communication and opinions that's what makes the world go round let's all relax and hear each other out. I mean I prefer that anyway thank you 🤗
@@batsonelectronics that’s so unfortunate. In my park we have rules about that, rent lot goes up, but not more 3% a year. People who do what you described are greedy assholes. there SHOULD be rules against it. Of course I live in California, where there are regulations that protect people from this kin of unscrupulous activity. I know the word “regulations” is a buzz word for some but they are needed and they protect people.
Period!!
I’d add if you decided on a manufactured home. Get one with Sheet rock, opt out of the plastic walls.
The lots cost too much nowadays it's best if you have your own land.
You sold cars for a living at some point.. lol
Hi james tomlinson, I didn't - just bought and sold real estate - since 1981... its about all I know.
@@BradSimmons car salesman make bank
@@ams3344 I bet they do!!! my momma told me, if you're good at anything, you'll always do well. Just keep grinding!
@@BradSimmons I did taxes. A good salesman makes over 250k a year easy!!! And they are usually under 40. Like around 30 years old. I'm so jealous 😂 no experience necessary just good people skills which are hard to find these days
Hell yeah he did lol
Would want it on my own lot, why pay rent space
Quickset locks are junk
Ya that lot is garbage
You know why.
Exactly and they just bump the price over the years
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.
YOU STILL PAY INCREASING RENT FOREVER
I wont i own my own lots
Taxes go up,you pay one way or the other
@@dinofalcone6645 lol you're an idiot my taxes are 400 a year with my structure on my land and my lots without structures my taxes are 30 dollars a year lol
Same as paying HOA.
@@dbutt3002 $300 a year for how much land and how big of a house may I ask? I just bought a 4 bedroom 2 bath 1.5 acres house in WV and I'm wondering about how much I'll pay a year in taxes. I'm assuming no more than $600/year and I think I'm aiming a bit high.
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.
@@tinamarie9002 +
Years ago my husband was transferred to a town that had virtually no available housing. So, we bought a mobile home. This was in the late 70's. Loved it. I see those homes are just getting better all the time.
Great I think mobile homes are great they ease the stress.
Your the man Brad. You've almost convinced me on moving to Kentucky!
I know!! 🤣🤣
Add me to the list!!!❤️
Me too lol. Didn't know Kentucky was so beautiful. Those rolling hills!!!
@@jazzcatt how is it going?
Kind of misleading. You won’t be getting $35k. This is a depreciating asset, but so what. Most things depreciate. My first home was stick-built new construction and I have a stick built fourplex now, but I had to sacrifice a year of hard work to afford it. For work life balance, nothing beats the peace of mind that being mortgage free allows. That’s the selling point here. No gimmicks needed. I would buy one of these, pay it off, then find some land to purchase and move it on my own land. Later, build a composite deck surround, so it doesn’t have the, “mobile home look.”
Great 💡 Idea !!!
I bought an old mobile home painted it up put new curtains in the windows and made 10,000 in a year.
This is a depreciating asset, Tell that to people in $200,000 homes that late of their mortgages. I'm sorry fam but value of a asset is more than the hopefully price of reselling. The truth most folk don't move around that much if you buy a home your pretty much stuck with it. I'm buying a 40k mobile home WITH land using the USDA rural development loan and my payments will be UNDER $400 and month with ZERO down.
@@jwoods9659 omg that's awesome WOW 😲 !!! Good Job !!
@@scrubstravel2729 $200,000K for a home is insane. That value is not really going to go up, many houses are old and your left with a home on the market until somebody falls inlove with your place enough to buy it. I get it people use home value to gain some wealth you can use the value of the home for things. BUT I'm 38 not married no kids it is beyond reason for me to look into buying a home unless it was to flip it for sale as soon as I bought it. I'll get a nice little affordable mobile home and be happy.
Watching from southern California where a 1 bedroom apartment is 1200+ a month.
This is why i bought a single wide in a super nice park 29k in and its a 2002 and im 800 a month in total
I like the trailer, it would be fine on 5 acres of land but I hate the location. I would never live in a trailer park.
Karen, there are far worse places to live. I've lived in a park for the last twenty years. Never had any issues and neighbors have been great.
@@rickneenan4696 but you still have to pay rent and you're at the mercy of the landowner. The only way to go is a mobile on YOUR land...
@@Dobiegal yes, there are bad community owners out there - but there are good ones too - you have to look at the reviews. Also, lot rent = property taxes - about the same thing... we are ALL just renting from the Govt. but for that, we do get some perks, fire, police, schools, land amenity improvements and maintenance. AND the community owner needs to pay his taxes - which can be stout. get a quote on a new manufactured home on a few acres for property taxes --- then you need a big mower (someone has to maintain that grass), a barn to store it, a ladder to paint the barn, driveway repair, on and on. It isn't all rainbows and puppy dogs-free to own land.
@@BradSimmons my property taxes on 1100 square foot MH on 2 improved acres.... trees, barn with utilities, kennels sheds..
$605 this year. Not per month. YEAR.
Oh I'm with you Brad 😄 owning land isn't all its cracked up to be....when the septic tank goes. Your right..either way we are paying. 😄😄
Really nice, would like to see one furnished. Downside is not owning land it sits on.
Yeah, but $150-200 in lot rent isn’t bad at all. HOAs in some neighborhoods costs like $300. So you might own the house and the land, but the HOA will always be there too. I’m paying $2,800 a month in rent here in California rn and I’m just over it. So these are definitely starting to look more and more appealing
@@jmoney881 Not all HOA's are bad. Ours is $300 a year and prevents bad neighbors. Depends on your location, land isn't expensive where we live.
How many square feet is it it's a lot bigger on the inside and it looks on the outside that's for sure
@@bigjohn75 Looks huge inside with no furniture. Gonna be cramped when filled with furnishings.
@@debmccleary9857 ya won't be bad if you don't fill it up with as I say dust collectors.....lol
That on 100 acres would be great. Then build permanent house when budget allows. Then use single wide as a guest house.
or rental. Hundred acres can be farmed. Hire a farm hand and as part of his pay he gets to move in if he wants. Be perfect for a young man with a gf or wife with possibly a small child.

@@comixof2morrow Oh, hell no! I would want property for privacy. Aint no other family drama gonna be in my backyard!
@@cheezheadz3928 I don't mean move in as in being inside the house or directly next to the house. Build a 3 BR 2Bath cabin with a closed in loft/bonus room at the other end of the property. It's always good to have someone watching your back and helping with the work load and protecting your land. They don't have to be right up your butt but have a place to stay at the other end or maybe down the road buy a small piece of property for that reason but either way as long as it's not just some random person and maybe a friend or someone you know would be a good idea. A small network isn't a bad idea. If I had the money I'd buy 500 acres and have cabins,container homes,and such built on the property separated for privacy and having my close friends and family live their and help out and help protect the land and the folks on it is definitely what I want. Strength in numbers and we can all pitch in and farm and tend to the livestock.
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!
1: I've seen quite a few videos from tiny home owners that have finally had to give in and accept that they simply need more room, or better physical accommodation.
2: I grew up in a tiny town where most people lived in the old tailor- style mobile homes, and it's worked out fine long term. And those weren't built to HUD standards like newer ones.
Putting it on a lot you have to pay for is stupid and self defeating
Not exactly. Your lot rent includes infrastructure that you would have to pay to develop on your own land. Plus, you have to consider taxes.
Site work septic drilled water well foundation delivery of the home to your lot purchase of your land electric hook up etc... 50,000 or more that 250 a month lot fee is peanuts.
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.

Manufactured homes like this are perfect low cost alternatives for retirees or single people. What I have a problem with are the huge double wides and triple wides that sell for 120k plus. I looked at one that was going for 175k. There's absolutely no way I would pay that much for a manufactured home when I can buy a conventional sight/stick built home and land for about the same cost. I'm speaking for myself and I know it's not for everybody but I just don't see spending that kind of money on a manufactured home.
175k won’t get you much of anything today let alone buying property and building for that cost
First off, all home are "Stick built", you mean ON SITE BUILT. But for 175K you would get a good bit smaller or older home that has issues. Some of the better manufactured homes are built quite well, and you can not lump them all together as one item.
$175k can get you a decent manufactured home in the 1500 sqft range vs a tiny stick built home no more than 1000 sqft.
Where I live manufactured homes on 1 acre of land sell for 250-300k where as stick built (older) homes on an acre are 350k-450k.
The only difference is on-site building versus off-site building. The materials are the same. Some manufactured homes are built better and with better materials than on-site builders. I'm gonna buy some land and put a doublewide manufactured home on it.

That's true of any property you have a mortgage on.
I have lived in 2 mobile homes in my life. You couldn't give me a mobile home, they fall apart before there warrant is up and good luck getting the manufacturer make the warranty right with you. They depreciate every year were a house doesn't. Houses keep or gain value. I had enough of mobile homes. I am right now building my own home. It will be beautiful and it's on 5 archers of beautiful land.
You are so right about mobile homes. They are cheaply built. They are like a new vehicle as soon as you drive it off the lot it depreciates.
Not mine I made money on both of mine it's like anything you have to maintain anything you own you can't trash it and expect you to make money or not lose value all my mobile homes that I've owned I have made profit on
Every new home should come with a new truck

@@trinityespejo119 then you have to put your mobile on a foundation.
This way the mobile acts like a stick built house and can be financed.

Watch Never Buy A Clayton Manufactured Home on TH-cam
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 don't want to live in Kentucky, too far from family, but I am going to start looking for something like this in my area.
Have you considered a conversion van? If it's just you, they're plenty big enough for one person. You can also buy a used preschool bus. They're big enough to put a bathroom in.
I brought a used mobile home and I’m mortgage free. You have options just find a area with cheap lot rent in the $200s. You can always save for your own land.
We're seniors needing to escape Bmore city. 😣🤪 We need one level living now...lot rent alone in mobile communities here are $700.00 & UP!! That would take half of our retirement income. Sad...glad I saw your video gives me hope. Thank you Brad.👍

I'm in hot springs arkansas and live in a senior mobile home park lot rent is 210 a month.they have a few homes for sale here
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
Very nice, I like the front door being on the end instead of on the side.
I'm picky about kitchens, being a frequent cook. I don't like my microwave over the stove or high up anywhere because lifting heavy steaming plates or bowls out of it (above my eye level) is too dangerous for me. It seems frustrating that all the best kitchens in all the houses I view have the microwave in this dangerous place.
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.

Best reason for mobilr home: Never have to look for housing again. Even if your zipcode has to change, your home doesn't.
What a lot of people don't know is a lot of times if you move a mobile, they become difficult to insure.
@@Dobiegal if you have an agency who won't insure a HUD-code home, you need to find another Agent. We have hundreds of homes insured - and there are over 50,000 manufactured home communities in the US with an average of almost 100 homes each - they ALL have insurance. I'm not saying you're wrong, I am saying, you need to get another agent...

Same in NC. When high winds hit. be prepared to evacuate. I have NO idea why anyone would have trailers in the south. NOT built well enough for that.
@@jax43 My aunt's 1980's single wide is still standing strong and we live in costal N.C. Been through all sorts of hurricanes here no issues.
@@DeeDee-wg8si I know that is also true. I've seen mobile homes over 30 yrs old still standing in NC too. But, it's not because the mobile home is built better, (they aren't) You have just been lucky or God is looking our for you. :) I walked in homes in NC while home shopping and the floors in trailers only 15 yrs old were rotted out from under the carpet, Literally the carpet was laying on the support beams underneath and I almost fell through. Oh and I could tell a lot more similar stories. But, I'd be here a while. I'm from the North, I've never seen such messed up homes as I did while home shopping in the South (NC & SC & FL) in the Mobiles homes especially...OMG I was horrified. The home I bought is in Coastal NC too and if a Big storm is forecast. I'll be OUT & headed Back to the North....lol Give me 7 feet of snow any day, I can deal with that. LOL
Just so you know I built homes, your sophet has an issue, the back siding up above across the peak is coming apart. In my taste the walls are too thin, nobody really wants formica on the wet areas because they are always falling apart, thin cabs, walls, eco chamber, great flooring for a O.S.B floor. I wouldn't buy that for 35 new or not. There are better constructed products with 2x6 exterior walls, 2x8 floors, or upgrades depending on your z- zone or hurricane zone. Cute if you don't plan on living long or worry about much with weather.. but that can change quickly. My Jacobson home in Florida went though the 3 hurricanes dead on, Charlie, Frances, and, Gene with minimal damage. I know a few things. Watch the zone you put them in, and let them know what they are buying....I know.. issuance though don't cover the close at heart, family or pictures.
Says a lot now when a new truck is going to cost you more than your house! 🤣🤣
can these walls be taped and mudded easily?
We own a double-wide on its own lot (not a rented lot). I taped and mudded the dining room. It can be done.
JackTannehillPromoter thx
Are you in Sarasota FL.
Hmmm,,,. 51k, all in, sell after you pay off in 10 or 12 years for 35k,,, hmmm. That is a pretty poor investment, you've lost 16k. Even if you put the payments into a low interest bearing account you would come out with $51k, plus interest. You gave the amenities; close to the lake, shopping, etc which makes it nice for a year round home, but it is not something to look at as being an investment property.
Back in 1985 we bought a new Holly Park for $17,500. Some of my friends said oh your wasting your money, bad investment. We lived in it for 17 years before moving to a house. Sold it for $8500.00. Thats cheap living and as long as you take care of it you will get a nice chunk of money back.
Hi electricroo, EXACTLY! Thank you!!!
There's definitely a difference in what we're talking about you have modular homes and then you still have more traditional mobile homes all of them regardless of what type are considered a bad investment there's not a financial institution in the United States of America that will say otherwise. No part of the systemic problem is the psychological thought process that most Americans have in reference to living in or buying a mobile/modular home in speaking with my financial advisor who I went through and getting my mortgage for my current cabin that I live in he best described it in a very nonsensical way that most people still have a negative view of mobile homes and modular homes and that feeling is felt throughout the financial world. Most of the modular homes even the state of the art in 2022 still have a average lifespan of 30 years. That does not mean that the modular home cannot be lived in past 30 years it just means the economical viability of the modular home ends at 30 years. Sadly more and more Americans because of either poor credit or they're poor decisions in life and not saving up money are forced to buy modular homes because they cannot afford traditional stick built homes the same people are finding that after 5 10 15 20 years etc that when they turn around to sell it most of them will almost always lose their money there have been a few occasions that I've seen people sell their modular home for more money than what they invested but I'll be honest with you that's probably less than 5% of the modular home used sales this dialogue that I am posting is not to say people are less for living in a modular home I personally have seen many that are beautiful but I would never allow myself to buy one once again for the mere fact that it's the same as buying a car every single year it's going to devalue. There's nothing wrong with promoting people to go to the mobile home/modular home route let's just be honest with them and stop lying and telling him that it's same as the stick built or that they'll always get their money back those are lies and a false narrative that people should be ashamed of themselves for spouting off
You know it's only somewhat good if you own your land . Mobile parks up thire AMO every year your. You can end up paying double your fees within a few years . You can't really borrow on these homes becuse they don't considered as a brick and Morter . Thous HMOs has caused people to lose thire homes .
Yes I love the mobile home everything about it but I live in Bristol where are y'all located at . Or biggest thing is can I get one in Bristol TN
Your houses are more affordable than most new pickup trucks !!!! And the lot fee is less than the insurance on these over priced trucks !!!
Do you move these mobile homes across country.
I have .75 acres of my Mom's house I would like to tear down and put a mobile home
If people would just pay ONE extra payment a year, they'd be amazed how much it actually takes off the end.
Hi Jade Cutshall, TRUTH! Go VIP here: to know of new properties - BEFORE they hit the market - BluegrassTeam.com/homefinder
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.

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.

I find your statement that site-built homes lose value also very misleading I have never seen a site-built home that has been taken care of as you would have to take care of any place you live lose value
Crystal you’re exactly right. We bought our 1980s-era site-built home 25 years ago for $130,000. Now they’re going for $400,000 in my neighborhood. I guess that’s what this guy calls depreciation!

wish we had them alteady done on land new for that price in New Jersey. I'd get one .
My primary problem with these is the thin panelling on the walls and the joint trim that accentuates it. Gypsum is both an insulator and a sound dampener. I'm rehabbing an old mobile home now and I'm replacing the panel with gypsum and covering the exterior in Hardie. Now I can texture the walls use full sized trim
I agree with you. I am having a manufactured home built to my specs. I will have drywall installed just like a house among other things. Yes, more expensive and I have to wait for the unit to be built but it will be worth it.
@@jerrywhite3095 that paneling makes it look cheap ..
@@jadedavis822 . Gee, we are up early. You are right Jade. The trim they use to cover the cracks where the two panels join often buckles and is an eye sore. I brought a park model years ago and put it in a campground in NJ. I loved it except for the panels.
Thank you for the tip. I looked it up and it should be illegal to put flammable vinyl paneling on anything much less a house. And I prefer the look of drywall to panelling because I hate the way the seams look but it's also more flame resistant. I will be checking for these things when I buy. What is your opinion on a mini split vs. central heating and cooling?
We replaced the trim in our mobile home with nicely stained 1x 4 ...looks great!
Mobile home living is great unless your paying over $800. A month like me with a $30.00 hike coming the first of the year.

I lived in a trailer at one point in my life and I really liked it. I would happily move into a trailer again.
Paid 58k for my 1985 single wide on half acre with 26 by 32 garage and got a 5800 rebate from the home buyers credit in 2010 and paid off in 2016. Now my place is worth over 100k. I've spent 5k on remodel kitchen bathrooms and floors. Cost me $2 a day in land taxes to live. Debt free is the american dream.
Great job! I love to see people succeed.

In Cincinnati lot rent is $400 and up. Unfortunately its more than rent in most cases once u add everything together.

the ever decreasing living standards and the forever recession. the new normal. "C'mon millennials! get out of your cars and mom's basements and buy yourself a trailer house!.

Great video we have considered putting one on our land it’s a great investment based on what you shared THANKS
Paying lot rent is completely ignorant. for those prices you can get a conventional mortgage. I like the newer styles of mobile homes, they are built much better than they used to, but be careful of what you buy and where you buy it. You can get a great deal on the home itself, but when they add delivery and setup / hookups, you will regret it. Typical mobile home that cost $50,000 will turn into almost double after adding in all the BS. And that is exactly what it is. Fee for this and that, delivery, setup, hookup of electrical and water is outrageous and unaffordable. We looked into the option of putting one on our 27 acres and by the time that $55,000 home would have had all I mentioned, it was $98,000. And after asking why and seeing all the added BS, I laughed, stood up, said NO and walked out. And that was a cash deal, not getting a mortgage. The salesman actually chased me out the door asking me why I was leaving. For 2 months they called begging me to reconsider. To this day I still think anyone who thinks adding $43,000 for delivery, setup and all that other BS is by any stretch is OK, is an idiot. Anyone buying a mobile home and willing to pay all that extra is a bigger idiot.
Hi Bobby Webb, I TOTALLY agree - those fees can clean your clock. That's why we have all the homes and all those fees at our wholesale cost. The $54,850 that this home is offered for - includes everything. That's it. Why do we do this? To bring nicer homes and good folks into our Communities. People work hard for their money - and so do I - we get it. These economics work for us - and are reasonable enough for people to get a chance. And our lot rent here in KY is so reasonable - you're almost at the same amount as real estate property taxes. And we have to maintain the utilities, the septics/sewer lines, waterlines, pay the taxes :-), you get a sense of community and less maintenance. Everyone wants these new homes on 5 acres or 27 acres like you have --- and for some folks that works, but most people who move to our communities, don't want to maintain or pay taxes on all that land. You need to mow it, then you need to buy a tractor, then you need a barn for the tractor - we get it, we live on a farm. It isn't all just watching the deer frolic and such - land is a lot of work. Merry Christmas and a Healthy year ahead!!!

Y’all gotta do some math people. He says that it’s 54,000 all in. You’re gonna pay over 75 grand for the trailer over 12 years with his figures plus the 5 grand you put down on it. And it’s going down in value every year. How is that a good investment? Good investments go up in value. If you want to live in a trailer there’s nothing wrong with that. I currently do. But don’t lie to people to sell your product. C’mon man
Hi Dale, if you buy a site-built house it is the same economics, but you have to pay for 30 yrs. Does it go up in value yes. But homeownership is out of touch for some (credit and down payment or monthly too high) and not desirable for others (monthly, maintaining the land, etc). Mobile homes are a stepping stone for the young - or an affordable retirement home with a sense of community for others. It is not right for YOU - totally respect that - and you're right. But for hundreds of thousands of Americans, it is a fabulous alternative. Talk to some people who live outside of our country - they are envious why they don't have this option in their country. #DontPeeInSomeoneElsesCheerios :-D Go VIP here: to know of new properties - BEFORE they hit the market - BluegrassTeam.com/homefinder

Land built homes usual go up in price unless you live in an undesirable location but the cost of living in those homes is a long term heavy cost. Your explanation makes sense, just the issue about house prices was not what usually happens.
So 768 total. I have a 170k mortgage and my mortgage is only 843 and I live in a house with property. This makes no sense. Plus my house is now worth 370k. So please explain this to me how this makes sense.
Hi Jason Pound, This home is an option for some and not an option for others. Let's compare though. You got a 30 yr mortgage on a $370k house because you had good credit and enough income to cover that mortgage. Some are not as lucky as you are. Our new mobile home payments end in 10-12 yrs - your mortgage is for 30 yrs. Now add in real estate taxes - your 370k house has taxes (guessing) $3500-4,000/yr. (in NJ, MA, CA and many other states - double that) - and going up every year or so. With our mobile homes, we pay the taxes for the home -- in 10-12 yrs, your taxes will be $100-150/yr. for personal property taxes. This is affordable housing, a solution to an Affordable Housing epidemic in the US where the median home price is $320,000. source: www.mansionglobal.com/articles/median-u-s-home-price-hits-nearly-320000-a-new-record-redfin-says-220062
How does it work if you live in Houston, TX? Affordable, so that's always good. Good job, thanks.
