They are still making manufactured or mobile homes, so why is it so hard to get them refinanced once they are on property and set up as a permanent home?

Ok so there are free lookups to find the values of cars, but not mobile homes? Im not about to pay someone 100 or more to have it appraised but..if I have to, guess I will. Point being, im trying to purchase a mobile home, its owned outright by my mom, her and her fiance are moving into a house. Its a 1998 Fairmont, 14×80 ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, EXCELLENT condition…They are wanting to sell for 13,000 but I want a loan for at least 18,000 so I can do some things to the house, and payoff a signature loan that has an awful interest rate…is this an unreasonable amount? Does anyone know off the top of their head if this type of home has 18, 000 worth of value in it, without looking…Just curious

I know a poor little family that needs a home and I’m not able to help them so I was hoping that someone can tell me where or what they do with the donated mobile homes. I am not sure if they are goinb g to the poor since it seems to be so hard for even a middle class person to find information on this. Thank You.

please only respond if it is pertinent to modular/system built homes; manufactured/mobile homes are another category not addressed here. comments on resale value compared to cost are also very welcome… thanks very much!

because they always so do not try to out run the tornado just get to the lowest level and middle of ur home. But i also hear mobile homes are dangerous because they do not have a stable platform and are easily toppled over, so does that mean if u leave in a mobile home and a tornado is approaching u better jump in ur car and run for it? i mean what are u suppose to do if u live in a mobile home?

For a trailer that is 30 years old or so, but only a 3 year old roof and windows after remodeling, standard size that I’ve seen most mobile homes.

From such information, is there a way to find out how much that mobile home is worth?

Me and my boyfriend bought a brand new mobile home a couple of years ago. Figured it was the same as paying rent out where we live and at least I will be able to get some of my money back when we move out. But of course like most mobile homes it came with boring walls. Is there a special brand of paint or trick I can use to cover or paint the walls.
These are interior walls I’m talking about and they are just like normal walls for the most part but are of course a lot thinner.

Which is better to buy a modular or a mobile home and why? We are moving and cannot live in the nicest part of town and we don’t want to live in an unsafe part of town. Are modulars or mobile homes the way to go?

I have a 1968 nasau mobile home That doesnt have a range in it yet we purchased one and now need to purchase a cord for it, How do I tell which one to buy that will work and be the safest for our mobile home?
The outlet looks just like a 220v outlet used for ovens and dryers, however I was told at an appliance shop that most are actually 4 wire for mobile homes, so thats why I was asking to be able to tell the difference.

My friend and I are considering moving into a mobile home instead of an apartment next year. The initial cost of buying and owning the home will be 00 and the lot rent will be 8 a month. Beyond paying that initial amount to own the home and our rent+utilities, what other costs might we run into in buying the home? Do mobile homes have mortgage rates if you own the home? I dont know much about this at all and I’m looking for as much help as I can get!

I live on a large farm right now. I recently got a free mobile home and I want to put it on one of the front lots I own. I recently had a site evaluation done for septic. What do I need to have the trailer on the property? Can I have it on there before the septic and well are ready, and just not live there?
Do I need placement or building permits? Both?
I’m trying to get this done asap so I can move out. Also, do I need to have this lot of land seperated from the rest of the farm? I live on about 50 acres.
Most mobile homes don’t go on perm foundations, I’m not putting mine on one either. I’m gonna stay here until I can put a real house on the lot.

I recently purchased a mobile home. Few of the windows work properly and based on a somewhat good eye i can tell it is because the home has settled over the past nine years since it was installed. Any ideas or suggestions on how to alleviate this problem would help. I know i need some hefty hydraulic jacks. shims of some sort and make shift water level to make sure everything ends up at the same level. This is pretty much all i know. I have some experience with homes but not mobile homes. I am guessing it is pretty much the same. Should i use pressure treated shims or cedar or what? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank You.

I am ready to plunge into the real estate market, and was wondering what the pros and cons of buying a manufactured home rather than a condo or townhome would be. Here in CA, a typical 1300 sq ft three bed/two bath mobile home in my area goes for about 0k – roughly half the price of a 0k 600 sq ft one bed/one bath condo. I realize that with mobile homes, one has to pay rent on the space- but condos and townhomes pay similarly priced HOA dues every month. I am a single guy in my early 40s. Any advice would be greatly appreciated- thanks!

When we are looking at mobile homes, what are things we should look for in particular?

Technorati Tags: mobile homes

We are farmers and own a great deal of land but are not ready to build a house. (At this time we cannot afford to build something we will be happy living in for the rest of our lives, but we are tired of our rental in town and just want to be out on our land.) We are planning on purchasing a new (or just a couple years old) mobile home and living in it for about ten years. (Please do not lecture on what a bad investment a mobile home is – we are well aware of it.)

We are in Iowa and we know we are probably looking at problems with frozen pipes and rodents. Does anyone have any suggestions about dealing with these issues or any others we may not have thought of yet?

We were also wondering how energy efficient new (or newer) mobile homes are.
Also, storms & tornados will not be a problem – we have a shelter already.

My hubby and I are going to look at homes tomorrow! We are looking with a realtor to buy our first home, new(er) mobile homes and property (not that we don’t want a block home, it’s that is what is in our area). Any pointers? Any suggestions on things to look at or ask about?

I was always under the impression that a mobile home didn’t gain value with "age" the way a "regular" home could. I have been assuming that this was partly due to the fact that most mobile homes were located on rental lots rather than on land the owner had. Are these reasonable assumptions?

Technorati Tags: assumptions, gain value, mobile home, mobile homes

I have heard from few people that manufactured/mobile homes always loose its value quickly over a time is that true?
even though the home is its own land?
It is not worth buying? is it a waste of money?

How much do modular (not a mobile doublewide) homes run? I know it varies on the area, I live in West Virginia. Mobile doublewides usually run ,000-70,000 in my area (Charleston/Huntington). Also, do modular homes depreciate in the same way as mobile homes? I know modular homes are built offsite w/ better quality materials (like, they have dry wall, actual hardwood floors, etc.) instead of paneling and plastic pieces. I also know that modular homes comply w/ the same zoning and coding regulations like a built-at-site home would. Just wondering! Thanks in advance.

I’m looking to buy a mobile home, but mobile homes aren’t finance-able unless the pillars are set below the frost line. Looking to see if it is possible to do this after the mobile home is already in place on a concrete foundation?

Just curious if the home in general holds up over time. I know mobile homes are built cheap and bathroom fixtures and cupboards tend to break and wear very easily. Are modulars the same?
