Mobile Home?
Manufactured Homes October 30th, 2009I’ve found a 1965 Columbia mobile home. It’s going for practically nothing, just the moving price. The home is in pretty good condition, considering its age. It’s a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and it has an extended living room. The outside needs work, but the inside is really well kept up. The only problem it has is a leak in the roof.
I couldn’t find anything online to give me prices or help me know if it’s a good deal or not.
I was told it was just too old, but I’m not one to be picky I’m just trying to find a temp. home.
What do you think?

You will not be able to obtain any type of financing on this mobile home due to its age. If you plan on living in it for a few years, it could definitely be a worthwhile investment to have a place to live in without a payment. Not only will you have to move the home though, you will need a lot in a park or a lot of land to put the home on. If you use your land you will need to have it hooked up to water, sewer, electric, etc… Best of luck to you.

Question: what to you plan on doing with it after you find a different place to live?
The problem with a mobile home, among many problems, is that the resale value is going to drop. Think of it like a new car–once you drive it away, the value drops and you will NEVER get that money back.
You don’t even build equity most of the time. Especially with a leaky roof, I suggest looking at a rental home and not wasting your money on a mobile home.
