Is there a legal maximum number of people allowed to live in a mobile home?

Posted by Modular Homes on January 22nd, 2011

I am trying to sell a trailor and the park owner has a history of turning down minorities. She turned down my buyers because they had too many kids and it is illegal for five kids and two parents to live in a 3 bedroom mobile home. Is this correct or is she just using it as an excuse?

Would you buy a modular home?

Posted by Modular Homes on October 29th, 2010

I’m in the market for a house. I’ve rented since I moved out of my parents, but the fiance and I are ready to move out of the apartment.

Has anyone purchased a modular home? If you did, why? If not, why not? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

My sister died in 2002. She left her mobile home to her son who is unable to maintain it. He is now 22 years old, no parents, unemployed. His family is trying to help him with decisions. The mobile home needs new flooring, plumbing, and general repairs. Is there an organization or company he can donate to? Thank you for your sincere responses.

How do you transfer ownership of a mobile home?

Posted by Modular Homes on February 21st, 2010

My parents have given me their mobile home- we wrote up a paper stating that it is now mine and both parties signed it, but I don’t know if this will hold up if I try to sell it, etc. The trailer is an ‘89, before they came with titles.

We live in San Jose, California. My parents bought a mobile home over 10 years ago, and they paid it off in cash.

Can someone please let me know the process I have to go through to get the mobile home title transfer over to my name, without much tax consequences and paperwork? My parents and I are on excellent terms. Thanks!

With advances in modular home quality,how do I convince my parents that they are not just all doublewide crap?

Posted by Modular Homes on June 10th, 2009

My parents just sold their house and are trying to retire. They want something a bit smaller and I was trying to show them some nicer quality modulars that they can put 0- 0k into.

The only thing is that all they know about modulars is that they are junky poorly made doublewides. I've tried to show them websites and pictures, but the one's they've looked at in their small town of Clarion, Pa are still the crappy cheaper ones. They are totally turned off and everyone is telling them that they ARE bad and to stay away from them.

I need hard proof to counter all their friend's point of views. Anyone know of articles or shows that have covered modular homes that are credible. Anybody like CNN (they watch it religiously and would probably listen to them).

Please help!!! They are rushing and are looking at crappy 1970's houses for 0k! Its driving me crazy!!!!
So it looks like modulars are basically stick built houses and manufactured housing are the lower grade doublewide style houses (our home inspector below has informed us).

Based on this. What do you think? Is the misconception between modulars and manufactured homes what is scaring people away?
