My wife and I live in a 96 model double wide somewhat similar to that one. We live on 5 acres in TN. We also have a 60 x 45 ft barn and paid 123,000 in 2018. The guy that flipped did really good work. Our home is 1976 square ft with 2 nice decks front and back. We are blessed by God for sure. I like your video's.
Being this home is a 2001. It is not a moble home. HUD stayed since 1976 a moble would have to have wheels. If the home does not have wheels, the home is a manufacturer home. The two of you are very knowledgeable about manufactured homes. So please advise. Why do you continue to state mobile homes? Any home can be moved. Bring a construction home or manufactured home.

The fact that pex is used as plumbing and they didn’t put shut offs anywhere so if it was leaking u had to drop the skirting and shut off the water main into the home to be able to repair…I immediately started putting shut offs on all the plumbing in mine after another pex line burst and flooded the duct work by the time I was able to get the water shut off at 5 am on a freezing cold night….so they’re built to last maybe 20 years before things start to break…and they always do….and my water heater was located on the exterior side with the door on the outside….i replaced it with an electric water heater and moved all the plumbing including the water heater inside the home so it’s not exposed to the freezing winters….

Absolute professional, and he dont mess around with things twice, which means he does fantastic work the first time. Well keep it up, and now i want to watch a mobile home get repossessed to see how that works, im thinking a chainsaw while a sheriff watches.

But we have the potential for a lot of snow and tornadoes. One thing for sure, you guys have always made them nice in your videos. No matter how they started out.
I had a double wife for over 20 years. I had a fireplace in never had no problems. It was grateful when electricity went off. It was great in a wintertime. Keep it nice and warm
Enjoyed the video. 😊 23 yrs old. $50k- no way. I find these all day long for sale by owners at normal prices,not the gouged, greed prices that business' ate charging.
I would suspect they paid around $10k. as a "trade- in," or more likely bought this for $5k. as a "haul- away" to clear, a lot? I've seen several real estate investment channels on YT with videos about acquiring these for very little, to nothing... remodeling them, etc. and then either seller financing, or lease optioning vs. renting them out. (i.e. A MUCH savvier way, to go, in my view... But some people still seem to prefer "buy n hold - landlording..." when they don't know, any better?!) I was working temporarily as the project manager for a high- end remodeler in the SFO bay area twenty years ago, that was talking about buying them up and 'exporting' mobiles to Guatemala, as his tear- out crew was from there, vs. Mexico. (So they must have been readily available in 2000ish, for very affordable prices. Of course the crew likely wanted them for their families...) I'd call around to mobile parks and stand- alones, on land... and offer to "haul them away, plus a lowball offer..." post inspection. (Because these companies probably aren't paying hardly anything, for them?)
I have that same exact fireplace in my trailer, it wasn't much of a heat source at all, so I placed a wood stove in front of it, & sleeved my 6" pipe up through the 10" factory chimney up about 1 Foot in, which is stainless steel all the way up through. I live in Ct, & I turned my furnace on only 1 time last winter when my water lines would have froze, the plumbing runs along the heat duct for that exact reason. I've lived in this trailer for 24 Years, it's an inexpensive way of life, I'm on 63 acres, with a 3/4 Mi long gravel driveway, 3 bedrooms, laundry room, my office is actually in a Tip-Out extension, 2 full bathrooms, 1 has a factory Jacuzzi, the other has a full bath tub & a shower, Laundry room, central AC with an outdoor compressor that sits on a cement slab, fireplace, huge dining room, & the kitchen has a huge wrap around counter, with a lot of cabinetry, large front deck with a corrugated tin factory roof, that aligns with the tin roof on the tip-out.
@@garykreutzer1239 My Insurance Co, & my Town Tax Assessor has it listed as a Fireplace. Maybe if I put in a stand alone stove, cut through a wall or the ceiling, but I thimble'd into the factory fireplace/chimney, & the stove sits on the factory Hearth, which is ceramic tile. It's actually much safer now, than it was from the factory, a fireplace can shoot sparks when the doors are open, my stove is completely air tight, with recessed Drafts, & a Manual Damper on the horizontal part of the ex pipe.
Back in 95 I bought one of the first 16 x 80's for $23,500. At the time, that was alot of money. Now, I am not stupid but those now go for almost a hundred grand, what in the world are they smoking ???!!! Even accounting for inflation, is crazy. I advise the younger folks, buy a decent used that's already did the whole depreciation thing, more cost effective. Also, nothing lookd more cheap, chintzy and low-grade than shimming strips in the middle of a wall to cover cheap particle board and plastic sinks. I had to laugh as the wallpaper in the laundry is exactly the same as my kitchen and laundry from 95, 😂😂😂.
Yep….a single wide now costs around $120,000 to buy and that doesn’t include moving and setting it up in the lot…that’s just the dwelling purchase…..a double wide costs about $240,000 that doesn’t include anything else but purchasing the dwelling….insane….and compared to todays new build construction..,about the same quality type work either way….best quality homes are the older ones like vehicles and appliances as well
Good grif Charlie Brown,,, my ex wife and I bought a 1993 16 x 80 for 25,000 she still lives there on 2 acres of completely flat land with a creek in front , can't imagine what it would sell for today 😮
Yeah, I heard you boys sayin' something about Darlington on the last video, so when we had to go to Hartsville for a birthday party on Saturday, I told my husband, "I'll bet that's the mobile home place those boys were lookin' at in that video I told you about..." I told him about that 30 year thing, and he said yeah, they're probably gonna do that everywhere, anyway, good luck. That thing where all the cabinets look like they have been wet at the bottom , I hope that mobile home wasn't in a flood. We're from Horry County.
There ain't no such thing as a LIVING ROOM because mine was honry and didn't do anything but let us put furniture in it and clean it regularly. Living room bah hum bug Also is it still considered a bedroom if it doesn't really have a bed or can you just put a bed in every room and call em like a 8 bedroom. I bet it'd be worth more money because ain't ever been none round here. I'm gonna be rich so y'all just wait until I start a TH-cam channel and I'll invite y'all to all hang out with me in my 8 bedroom.
I really like this home!! I really wish I could get one but I'm in a wheelchair!! The Doors would need to be at least 34ins?? I think. I dream of buying land and putting a mobile home in the country. I live in Charlotte I hate it!! I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you for all your recommendations and knowledge!! keep them coming!!😇🙏
I wish I had a new mobile home like my neighbors 😞 I lived here in this park for 32 yrs in this small 10x55 and it's Ok but I would die for more space for me and my 20 yr. son. I just have SS. I have measured it out so many times that I could fit a 20x48 small double wide on this lot. I would love 2 bathrooms like my neighbors have next door and more living space🙏 My son's bedroom is in the living room.
Don't matter what you do, the floors rot. The roof leaks if you don't go up and put something on it. Lot rent in a park is going to go up every year, or when you get new owner. If you fall on hard times and can't pay rent you'll get evicted from the property, and seeing as your broke, probably loose your house /property. It gets worse..... .
What a lot of people don't understand is the difference between a rental unit and a house that is a primary residence. I just sold all my rental units two years ago and after living in a stick built home and looking at other stick built homes I have decided to buy a new manufactured home. The quality of a new build is far superior to 99% of site built crap on the market. With rentals that is a different story. You don't need top of the line, you need good cost effective material. We would usually keep a rental about 15 to 20 years, then replace it with another good used unit. Of course some of our renters where there for years and that helped reduce maintenance costs and added life to a lot of our units.
@@mybrotherdonnie Thanks. It is hard for people who have never owned rentals to understand what we have to do to get the rent to an affordable price. It takes a lot of thought and work in order to make a living and have a decent place that people can afford to rent. It isn't easy by any means.
That was a good one. Pretty fair price but i would also probably gut that, i wouldnt be able to leave the old floor boards. I have a thing for clean floors i would be to nervous about smells coming up from the old wood. I cant wait to move. I am aslo concerned about the soil i want to plant a fairly large garden.i hear red soil isnt great for growing a vegetable garden thanks again for your videos very informative and fun also. Lol i grew up with my uncle he was always taking me on construction jobs.
Maybe delivered with set up included but $50,000 is a lot considering all the work it entails to actually “buy” it ….perhaps if it was already sitting on a lot and in that shape then that would also be another story
If they want 50 thousand for that, why not just buy, a house that needs work, then you know what you have, when finished, I live in Connecticut and you can buy a warm down home for 50-100 thousand with land there is so many foreclosure homes for sale, kid across the street just bought 1/2 acre 54 thousand on highest bid
They’re not around down here in the area that we are talking about now I’m sure there’s spots in South Carolina where there’s plenty but where we’re at in South Carolina. Houses are 200+
That one came from a very wet area with all of that moss growing and areas a soft flooring. You need to crawl underneath and inspect the joists for integrity.
If it made it to that lot in one piece…well in two pieces and not 100 scattered all over a highway somewhere..,I’d say the joists are in good shape…lol…just because it’s a modular home doesn’t mean it wasn’t engineered to the hilt to take more bs then a regular home and are actually very well engineered to hold up to more then a regular home can…don’t judge based on regurgitated biases and stereotypes made up by hateful scumbags
My goodness a door that warped. LOL. Never heard of such a thing. I took the door off the bathroom in our 11' x 38' Park model. Previous owner screwed a 'regular size square rod towel bar' into the door, which was hollow !!!! Plus the towel bar -- it gradually sagged over time. To get the bar off it was screwed into place, held onto the thin veneer with long screw washers, which made it almost impossible to remove! Good grief. Had to remove door which was extremely narrow 28" wide -- and then had to pull it off after wrecking door around the towel bar mounting holders!!! That door's remnants got burned in a bonfire! Gave the nice silver metal color towel bar away as we did not need it.
I had to door in the back of my truck, one side of it. On the tailgate. We worked about half a day went out there to get the door. It was warped like a banana. I turn it over the other way, lift it over the week come back to work on the following weekend and it straightened itself over the week turn the opposite way laying on the floor flat we put it up and used it but now I make sure if one’s going to be in the sun make sure it’s laying on something flat
Which makes no sense whatsoever …when it’s an rv, there’s no regulations demanding they be made with quality yet they’re more money then a modular home…they’ll finance an rv but not a modular which holds its value compared to the rv….
There is no double wide worth 200,000 unless it is made out of gold. This double wide with all the water damage and water marks means it was flooded and the roof leaks. To have water lines going that far up from the floor means the trailer was soaking in water. That means if there is any insulations in the double wide it will have to be pulled out. Then you will have to get rid of all the black mold. Notice the cracks and yet there is fresh paint that means someone is trying to hide somethings. The floors punky means the floors have all been soaking up water. particle board is not safe to use in any home house or trailer. Most States will not allow anyone to live in a home even if it has just 1 4x8 sheet of particle board because of the toxic gas if there was a fire and that has a fire place built in it. With all the water damage there is going to be water in the wires and outlets as well. Black mold is a killer. For anyone to buy that with hopes of living in it they would have to gut that place down to the frame and start building it from the floor up all new. 50,000 is 40,000 to much .
They all have HUD plates on the back and most have a tag on the cabinet doors with all the info on it. Should even give original interior and exterior paint colors!
What really sucks about mobile or modular homes in areas where ac is an absolute necessity….the fact that hvac contractors have deemed folks who live in mobile or modular homes as unworthy…good luck getting the ac repaired or replaced on one of these…at least it’s like that in my area…and u would be surprised how many wealthier folks are choosing to live in Modular’s doublewides as a smaller easier to maintain home then their big regular style home….most my neighbors are retired folks living in double wides placed on foundations and they’re absolutely not the stereotype and leaving them stinky and torn up lol
💚🌻🐓The 2nd . Living room by the kitchen can be used as a Dining room / add a big table with a hutch for big family dinners. The fireplace area is a nice living room.
I'm surprised that they were still using those windows in 2001 , figured they would have been the vinyl insulated windows by then? Maybe vinyl would have been an upgrade option? Neat videos guys!
I wish I could move in there . Here in Dallas Tx ,thinking about coming to visit sc, next April or may .in2025 . I need to Look you guys up ,to come and visit your business.🙂👀😅
The idea of trading in a single or double wide mobile home is very foreign to me, lol The room of the fireplace could be converted into a fourth bedroom, if somebody wanted to. 7:54, These labels are even on the kitchen cupboards in manufactured homes. It even says, Do Not Remove.
Yep think about if you buy a New one what are you gonna to do with the old one you just about have to give it to the man that can move it out of the way so you can put the new one back
QUESTION - do all mobile homes have the air vents on the floor?? Also,WHY do they put air vents on the floor instead of the ceiling like in real houses?
No, all of them do not have air vents most do a lot or for just heat the reason they put them in the floor not in the ceiling there’s not that big of a ceiling cavity the way the roof is designed it’s very low sloped they put them right down the center of the house because it’s in between the frame rails and that’s the widest spot
What is the cost to have a mobile home bolted to a foundation? That''s the first major item on a "to do" list for me. How much does this process protect the home against damage from hurricanes and earthquakes? I wouldn't use the real fireplace. I would, however, replace it with an electric "fake fireplace" insert that makes it appear as though it is a real fireplace. The fireplace surround looks fine to me. A big plus is having washer and dryer hookups already in place.
Normally, they don’t bolt, them down to the foundation per se they will take and put screw anchors into the ground put a metal strap around the frame and it’s like a belt buckle strap that goes around the frame and hooks to that screw anchor that’s in the ground in our area you need five on each side for a 80 footer. They put block underneath it and block it up to its level under the actual metal frame and then they just put big drillbits in the ground and put some metal straps around that
With that being said double wide, they cost about 10 to 15,000 to move them when they move them they put them up which means they block it level and then strap it to the ground and put both sides together and they screw them together put the siding back on the side put some trim on the inside of the house and fix the roofing where the ridge cap is
@@mybrotherdonnie I'd want the home placed on a real foundation and not just strapped to the ground so the home could be bolted to the foundation. I imagine the cost to build a foundation is quite high, even though the foundation is just a concrete pad.
200 thousand dollars? I remember a time when single wides were under 10; thousand (in the 70s. I lived in a trailer park about 5 years. Everything has gotten so expensive.
Not no more single wide. Some of them are going for 100,000 now anyway they do not really charge you per mile I’ve got a guy that moves them locally for me single Wides in charges me $3500 that’s within about 50 miles double Wides. He told me it was $12,000 within about 50 miles.
@@tinaaurand8887 Thanks, after I retired from the military, I was divorced early 90's. I thought I would buy a single wide, Oakwood I believe. I thought that it would have some return. It was about 35K for that and an acre and a half. I was close enough to Raleigh that I could buy and flip houses. Which worked out for me, return on the SW, LOL, more like LMAO. I sold it a few years later. I would buy a house that was livable and needed repair. That worked better. Then sell them. Thanks for the info, I was wondering what the margin of profit was. I defiantly do not know anything about the Mobile Home market. I learned this one without losing any money. Big Thanks
If you remember talking to me about double wides a couple weeks ago I'd say this one is a buy. I discussed trim and how expensive it can get but this home has the lower grade trim so thats a complete none issue on this one you can buy that thin trim cheap. The home looks solid you are missing some of the inner windows I'd try to negotiate those into the deal. This size home should rent for 1000 a month at least and if you make it look good it will have over 100k value you can sell it or take a loan against it remember getting a loan is a none taxable event 😎 take that money let the renters pay off the loan and buy another one. The next one will be completely free. Disclosure: I do not recommend renting mobile homes I am currently liquidating all of myn and buying traditional homes mobile homes are high maintenance units when in the rental business you want low maintenance units. With this being said you can still make a lot of money and by incorporating mobile homes into your portfolio you can get started in the business faster and cheaper and when you do decide to get out of mobile homes the money you made or the equity you acquired will launch you to that next level. You guys are willing and and able to work hard so you'll do great but as you get older you wont want to work so hard and you also start thinking about passing the portfolio to your kids you will want low maintenance properties when this time comes don't think about it later plan now im 35 years old I hope I have a long ways to go but im already realizing this and making those changes. I got started with mobile homes but you seriously cant look at it any other way than just a start. It will be difficult to retire on mobile homes and it will be impossible to build generational wealth with them. You guys are awesome I always look forward to your videos keep working hard and enjoying life, peace.
@@mybrotherdonnie yea just so long as you know they're high maintenance and you're willing you're good. However on plumbing never change the manufacturer's design buy pex and the rings and the crimpers never put brass fixtures in the shower dont glue PVC on pex keep it all original mobile home plastic shower fixtures pex and the ring crimpers never change that design keep it simple it last 20 to 30 years that way I keep pex pipe rings plumbing fixtures I can get a call and fix the problem in 2 hours or less and it last longer than the alternatives. Keep it simple and original please trust me on that.
Its a mobile home, they are built meeting the lowest standards possible. Everything thing used in the building process are dirt cheap. Please don't over pay for one new or used.
So irritating how biased TH-cam is too…all I see are Kamala campaign ads begging for money…as if she needs it…they’re gonna select her even if we say no…such bs

It's actually much safer now, than it was from the factory, a fireplace can shoot sparks when the doors are open, my stove is completely air tight, with recessed Drafts, & a Manual Damper on the horizontal part of the ex pipe.
Back in 95 I bought one of the first 16 x 80's for $23,500. At the time, that was alot of money. Now, I am not stupid but those now go for almost a hundred grand, what in the world are they smoking ???!!! Even accounting for inflation, is crazy. I advise the younger folks, buy a decent used that's already did the whole depreciation thing, more cost effective. Also, nothing lookd more cheap, chintzy and low-grade than shimming strips in the middle of a wall to cover cheap particle board and plastic sinks. I had to laugh as the wallpaper in the laundry is exactly the same as my kitchen and laundry from 95, 😂😂😂.
Yep I would like to have a couple for 23 five
Yep….a single wide now costs around $120,000 to buy and that doesn’t include moving and setting it up in the lot…that’s just the dwelling purchase…..a double wide costs about $240,000 that doesn’t include anything else but purchasing the dwelling….insane….and compared to todays new build construction..,about the same quality type work either way….best quality homes are the older ones like vehicles and appliances as well
@@w8what575 I'm in Sterling Heights, Michigan. You can get a brand new double wide for $50,000 @ Sterling Estates MHC.

Yeah, I heard you boys sayin' something about Darlington on the last video, so when we had to go to Hartsville for a birthday party on Saturday, I told my husband, "I'll bet that's the mobile home place those boys were lookin' at in that video I told you about..." I told him about that 30 year thing, and he said yeah, they're probably gonna do that everywhere, anyway, good luck. That thing where all the cabinets look like they have been wet at the bottom , I hope that mobile home wasn't in a flood. We're from Horry County.
Ok nice to know thanks for watching
It’s 23 years old, not 13. Pretty good shape for someone living it for that long.

The double wide we had growing up had a “family” and a “living” room.
Never seen that
@@mybrotherdonnie . . . . . a lot of the newer dbl wides have it now days.
There ain't no such thing as a LIVING ROOM because mine was honry and didn't do anything but let us put furniture in it and clean it regularly. Living room bah hum bug Also is it still considered a bedroom if it doesn't really have a bed or can you just put a bed in every room and call em like a 8 bedroom. I bet it'd be worth more money because ain't ever been none round here.

Love the channel and vibe my guys! It’s the quality time that matters and yall have what a lot of people are missing nowadays! Much love from Oklahoma
Thanks
Don't matter what you do, the floors rot. The roof leaks if you don't go up and put something on it. Lot rent in a park is going to go up every year, or when you get new owner. If you fall on hard times and can't pay rent you'll get evicted from the property, and seeing as your broke, probably loose your house /property. It gets worse..... .
Yep
What a lot of people don't understand is the difference between a rental unit and a house that is a primary residence. I just sold all my rental units two years ago and after living in a stick built home and looking at other stick built homes I have decided to buy a new manufactured home. The quality of a new build is far superior to 99% of site built crap on the market. With rentals that is a different story. You don't need top of the line, you need good cost effective material. We would usually keep a rental about 15 to 20 years, then replace it with another good used unit. Of course some of our renters where there for years and that helped reduce maintenance costs and added life to a lot of our units.
I think you did a better way of explaining it
@@mybrotherdonnie Thanks. It is hard for people who have never owned rentals to understand what we have to do to get the rent to an affordable price. It takes a lot of thought and work in order to make a living and have a decent place that people can afford to rent. It isn't easy by any means.
@@DraggonCanoe yeah, it’s hard for people to understand that
That was a good one. Pretty fair price but i would also probably gut that, i wouldnt be able to leave the old floor boards. I have a thing for clean floors i would be to nervous about smells coming up from the old wood. I cant wait to move. I am aslo concerned about the soil i want to plant a fairly large garden.i hear red soil isnt great for growing a vegetable garden thanks again for your videos very informative and fun also. Lol i grew up with my uncle he was always taking me on construction jobs.
Glad you enjoyed it
When you walk into the front entrance way it's usually called a "Foyer" or a meet and greet area. !!!

On this weeks episode of Trailer Park Boys...
Lol
If it fits it ships
It could be made into a nice home for someone at that price, much better than some of the older ones you show us. Thanks for the tour guys!
Thanks for watching
I wouldnt pay $50,000 for that mobile
Ok I did not buy it neither
Maybe delivered with set up included but $50,000 is a lot considering all the work it entails to actually “buy” it ….perhaps if it was already sitting on a lot and in that shape then that would also be another story
If they want 50 thousand for that, why not just buy, a house that needs work, then you know what you have, when finished, I live in Connecticut and you can buy a warm down home for 50-100 thousand with land there is so many foreclosure homes for sale, kid across the street just bought 1/2 acre 54 thousand on highest bid
They’re not around down here in the area that we are talking about now I’m sure there’s spots in South Carolina where there’s plenty but where we’re at in South Carolina. Houses are 200+
That one came from a very wet area with all of that moss growing and areas a soft flooring. You need to crawl underneath and inspect the joists for integrity.
To much $ for me lol
If it made it to that lot in one piece…well in two pieces and not 100 scattered all over a highway somewhere..,I’d say the joists are in good shape…lol…just because it’s a modular home doesn’t mean it wasn’t engineered to the hilt to take more bs then a regular home and are actually very well engineered to hold up to more then a regular home can…don’t judge based on regurgitated biases and stereotypes made up by hateful scumbags
My goodness a door that warped. LOL. Never heard of such a thing. I took the door off the bathroom in our 11' x 38' Park model. Previous owner screwed a 'regular size square rod towel bar' into the door, which was hollow !!!! Plus the towel bar -- it gradually sagged over time. To get the bar off it was screwed into place, held onto the thin veneer with long screw washers, which made it almost impossible to remove! Good grief. Had to remove door which was extremely narrow 28" wide -- and then had to pull it off after wrecking door around the towel bar mounting holders!!! That door's remnants got burned in a bonfire! Gave the nice silver metal color towel bar away as we did not need it.
I had to door in the back of my truck, one side of it. On the tailgate. We worked about half a day went out there to get the door. It was warped like a banana. I turn it over the other way, lift it over the week come back to work on the following weekend and it straightened itself over the week turn the opposite way laying on the floor flat we put it up and used it but now I make sure if one’s going to be in the sun make sure it’s laying on something flat
The only problem is financing I talked to both my banks and credit union they will finance Rvs but not mobile homes
Yes, it looks like this place is doing in-house financing from what I can see. It looks like it’s $10,000 down thousand bucks a month.
Which makes no sense whatsoever …when it’s an rv, there’s no regulations demanding they be made with quality yet they’re more money then a modular home…they’ll finance an rv but not a modular which holds its value compared to the rv….
Aww BS !!! My neighbor paid $18,000 for the 1994, 16x75 , which included the grading and all connections up here in SE Michigan !!!
Good deal
There is no double wide worth 200,000 unless it is made out of gold. This double wide with all the water damage and water marks means it was flooded and the roof leaks. To have water lines going that far up from the floor means the trailer was soaking in water. That means if there is any insulations in the double wide it will have to be pulled out. Then you will have to get rid of all the black mold. Notice the cracks and yet there is fresh paint that means someone is trying to hide somethings. The floors punky means the floors have all been soaking up water. particle board is not safe to use in any home house or trailer. Most States will not allow anyone to live in a home even if it has just 1 4x8 sheet of particle board because of the toxic gas if there was a fire and that has a fire place built in it. With all the water damage there is going to be water in the wires and outlets as well. Black mold is a killer. For anyone to buy that with hopes of living in it they would have to gut that place down to the frame and start building it from the floor up all new. 50,000 is 40,000 to much .
arm and a leg for any of them now days
They all have HUD plates on the back and most have a tag on the cabinet doors with all the info on it. Should even give original interior and exterior paint colors!
I was looking trying to find
What really sucks about mobile or modular homes in areas where ac is an absolute necessity….the fact that hvac contractors have deemed folks who live in mobile or modular homes as unworthy…good luck getting the ac repaired or replaced on one of these…at least it’s like that in my area…and u would be surprised how many wealthier folks are choosing to live in Modular’s doublewides as a smaller easier to maintain home then their big regular style home….most my neighbors are retired folks living in double wides placed on foundations and they’re absolutely not the stereotype and leaving them stinky and torn up lol

Depends on the trim level and where the home was made.

The idea of trading in a single or double wide mobile home is very foreign to me, lol
The room of the fireplace could be converted into a fourth bedroom, if somebody wanted to.

It even says, Do Not Remove.

QUESTION - do all mobile homes have the air vents on the floor?? Also,WHY do they put air vents on the floor instead of the ceiling like in real houses?
No, all of them do not have air vents most do a lot or for just heat the reason they put them in the floor not in the ceiling there’s not that big of a ceiling cavity the way the roof is designed it’s very low sloped they put them right down the center of the house because it’s in between the frame rails and that’s the widest spot
What is the cost to have a mobile home bolted to a foundation? That''s the first major item on a "to do" list for me. How much does this process protect the home against damage from hurricanes and earthquakes? I wouldn't use the real fireplace. I would, however, replace it with an electric "fake fireplace" insert that makes it appear as though it is a real fireplace. The fireplace surround looks fine to me. A big plus is having washer and dryer hookups already in place.
Normally, they don’t bolt, them down to the foundation per se they will take and put screw anchors into the ground put a metal strap around the frame and it’s like a belt buckle strap that goes around the frame and hooks to that screw anchor that’s in the ground in our area you need five on each side for a 80 footer. They put block underneath it and block it up to its level under the actual metal frame and then they just put big drillbits in the ground and put some metal straps around that
With that being said double wide, they cost about 10 to 15,000 to move them when they move them they put them up which means they block it level and then strap it to the ground and put both sides together and they screw them together put the siding back on the side put some trim on the inside of the house and fix the roofing where the ridge cap is
@@mybrotherdonnie I'd want the home placed on a real foundation and not just strapped to the ground so the home could be bolted to the foundation. I imagine the cost to build a foundation is quite high, even though the foundation is just a concrete pad.
Not bad at all. 😀
50,000+ delivery

Listening to you guys talk, a mobile home is about 25K singlewide. What does it cost to move it, I would think it would have to do with the miles.
Not no more single wide. Some of them are going for 100,000 now anyway they do not really charge you per mile I’ve got a guy that moves them locally for me single Wides in charges me $3500 that’s within about 50 miles double Wides. He told me it was $12,000 within about 50 miles.
New ones haven't been that price in years and years.
@@tinaaurand8887 Thanks, after I retired from the military, I was divorced early 90's. I thought I would buy a single wide, Oakwood I believe. I thought that it would have some return. It was about 35K for that and an acre and a half. I was close enough to Raleigh that I could buy and flip houses. Which worked out for me, return on the SW, LOL, more like LMAO. I sold it a few years later. I would buy a house that was livable and needed repair. That worked better. Then sell them. Thanks for the info, I was wondering what the margin of profit was. I defiantly do not know anything about the Mobile Home market. I learned this one without losing any money. Big Thanks

It depends on if it's an electric fireplace or gas ??? You can't have Natural fireplaces in a mobile home.

Bought one in 2oo3 28by 60 foor 39, 900.
Wish that price was still around
So, twenty three years is old in mobile land? And to think I was going to buy one.
It’s old but not wore out
If you remember talking to me about double wides a couple weeks ago I'd say this one is a buy. I discussed trim and how expensive it can get but this home has the lower grade trim so thats a complete none issue on this one you can buy that thin trim cheap. The home looks solid you are missing some of the inner windows I'd try to negotiate those into the deal. This size home should rent for 1000 a month at least and if you make it look good it will have over 100k value you can sell it or take a loan against it remember getting a loan is a none taxable event 😎 take that money let the renters pay off the loan and buy another one. The next one will be completely free.
Disclosure: I do not recommend renting mobile homes I am currently liquidating all of myn and buying traditional homes mobile homes are high maintenance units when in the rental business you want low maintenance units. With this being said you can still make a lot of money and by incorporating mobile homes into your portfolio you can get started in the business faster and cheaper and when you do decide to get out of mobile homes the money you made or the equity you acquired will launch you to that next level. You guys are willing and and able to work hard so you'll do great but as you get older you wont want to work so hard and you also start thinking about passing the portfolio to your kids you will want low maintenance properties when this time comes don't think about it later plan now im 35 years old I hope I have a long ways to go but im already realizing this and making those changes. I got started with mobile homes but you seriously cant look at it any other way than just a start. It will be difficult to retire on mobile homes and it will be impossible to build generational wealth with them.
You guys are awesome I always look forward to your videos keep working hard and enjoying life, peace.
Just part of the portfolio
@@mybrotherdonnie yea just so long as you know they're high maintenance and you're willing you're good.
