Its very easy to do a cheap rehab on a mobile home but its still gonna cost about the same to rehab as buying a new one by the time you're done. Best off going to actions fir abandoned or foreclosure mobile homes. Its consider a jacuzzi style tub every time ive heard or saw those tubs. I miss the old fire stickers for kids windows sadly had to get rid of them because of pedos. It could really save lives. If my house was burning i rather fire rescue my kids before me. The first one probably burnt up because of extention cords sprawled through whole houss is a bad sign there was probably a electric fire in the walls.
A new mobile home is over 100,000 you can rehab them a lot cheaper than that that one I do not believe burnt I believe that was suet from the fireplace
Bought a 3bedroom trailer 10 yrs ago for 700bucks.. also around the same time got a 2 story house in north dakota for 10k.. some folks think you cant get a home unless youre a millionaire 😂
Deals are still out there. You can get them relatively cheap it’s getting harder what 10,000 10 years ago is about like 50,000 now so yes I’ve seen some houses for under 50,000
One thing I like about mods and DW, is they have a central disconnect on the water. With tiny homes being built to a house standard, I think it is only a matter of time before someone builds a mobile home to better standards and not HUD. I never understood why the electrical was so short and the outlets not connected to studs. Not to mention that after 25 years, I think the Insurance goes way up on mobile homes. One thing, I have never met the person who sells mobile homes that lives in one. While they are telling you how great they are.
I wish I had those guys come up to Michigan and fix-up my mobile home !!! I don't have a handyman 😞All I would need is the bathroom floor leveled for the toilet and put the ceiling and wall panels back in my other bedroom bc of a leak years ago and maybe fix the light fixture some disabled child from across the street pulled on the light fixture and wires and it hasn't worked since.
What that is self locking vinyl flooring so it’s 100% vinyl it’s supposed to be waterproof and it’s got like a little teeth on it that lock together so basically you got a tongue and groove. The tongue is got a little hang down tooth at the end and locks in the place. That is what everybody is going with now because it’s waterproof. It’s about like the old Pergo but it’s vinyl floating floor and it’s got padding on the back of it already so no you do not have to glue it some of them you can glue it’s even cheaper than this stuff but it’s a bear to get up if you glue it down
You have the whole house open basically you can move the kitchen anywhere you want it. My father in law and myself did all the plumbing in ours. I like a big water heater that way you never run out. In mine we have a 50 gallon water heater
I think behr is the best paint. Our mobile home is from the 77 and it has all paneling in it I painted it and it looks good. I’d live in a mobile home a single or a double. I think some have more room and storage than my house
The 3rd one you walked in is just like my neighbors trailer they bought unseen until they moved in. Of course my neighbor is handy with woodworking, painting, electrical, and plumbing, etc. They are an older couple in their late 70's and 80's and paid $18,000 in installments for 5 yrs. They paid it off recently with Social Security payments and it does look very nice inside but the roof still looks horrible but not any leaks so far. Just cool-sealed the roof a few times. I know it is a 1994 16x80.
Like I commented on your other video. I have a 1962 10x55 mobile home. The siding looks something like on a submarine !!! Nothing like any of these here. The floors are solid too.
I own a 1962 10x55 with original pink porcelain bathtub, bathroom sink, and kitchen sink. Put a new roof on, new furnace, windows and 30 gal. gas hot water tank. Original tile under carpet. Looking to trade-up for bigger mobile home. What do you think?? Still has the original emblem on the front "VanDyke Embassy" .
Oh my goodness I bought a double wide for 1 thousand dollars about 8 yrs ago. The people lived beside of my mobile home for years then they sold everything in the estate sale but came to me i paid an additional thousand for the air unit. She already had the unit sold but i paid first 😅. It costed us 5 thousand to move it and the set up. Me and my husband rentovated it and rented it out for 7 yrs and got the money back and after covid and the economy im living in it. 😅 It has saved me so much.
@@mybrotherdonnie It was just bare wood but it made me so mad. I was really tired and it seemed like everything I did was wrong. I was painting behind a door so I just used it there. 😂
I love to buy one of these and make it my home. Here in the UK our planning laws are ridiculous and not for the common man, it's all geared towards big companies and a lot of dodgy under the table stuff. I was looking into a shipping container home/Tiny House so I could just not do the people thing, not have to listen to screaming children etc and it's so difficult to find a small piece of land to put a small place on.
Well, it really comes down to: how much work are you willing to put into it? The first one for sure is cheaper, but that thing is a total gut job. You're probably looking at new electrical throughout, and what are you going to use for heat and air? These are major expenditures, not to mention wall repairs, painting, flooring, the kitchen has to be totally redone, appliances...let's face it, there's a lot less work in the second one. You can cap the roof with a new metal roof that will also increase your insulation. My husband and I bought a couple of acres back in 1999 that already had a well and septic in place. We put a 2 BR 1 BA 14 X 60 on it (the trailer was a 1985) Over the next 18 years, we gutted both the bath and the kitchen down to the walls, replaced the subfloors throughout the trailer, and replaced the doors. We had a bad rental experience with it after we moved in 2017, and wound up selling the trailer and land for over twice what we paid in 2022. We're too old for all that crap anymore. Good luck.
@@mybrotherdonnie Understood. We thought we had a good rental situation, as we had tenants for almost 5 years that always paid their rent on time, but my biggest mistake was not keeping an eye on things. We had put high end appliances in the kitchen because we had lived there prior to renting, but after the renters left, we found them either gone or trashed. I hope my Whirlpool bottom freezer french door refrigerator found a good home...sigh
It was my first. In Northeast Pennsylvania we had 100%. I sat right in my driveway and watched the whole thing. Thank You for taking the time to video for the people that couldn't travel.
I have 2 trailers that I need to fix up to rent out & I’m learning some very useful tips from your videos…Thanks!! My husband calls them “rags”, but I call them my “country condos”😂😂
Hey ya’ll we left the good flooring in our mobile home, then about 8 years later it started going to hell now we have to pull the carpet now and replace the subfloor and figure out what flooring to put back. Ours is a 1977 Schultz 14x70 all redone inside, new windows and roof
@@mybrotherdonnie No air only heat in the fall this is vacation property. 20 acres in Michigan. But the floor where the laundry area is was damaged but that was all replaced and just past that is where the floor is soft now
Was leaving home the other day..backing down the drive and heard this almighty bang..seems while I was backing down the gate swung partially open in the wind and I hit it with the car..really bad..yup..its broke
Single wires are usually 3 to 5000 in my area double Wides are usually 10 to 20,000. I tried to ask a few times about per mile and they would not answer that. Basically just a base price.
You guys should get a double wide theyre worth so much more than singles and even though theyre double wide doesn't mean double cost to repair ask me how I know... does cost double to move though 😂
@@mybrotherdonnie I've never moved them but I learned I spend about the same on a single as a double and the double is worth a lot more in the end. Single or double it's all 2 bath 1 kitchen same amount of windows this is where most the money goes. Obviously you'll spend double on floor covering and paint but also on electrical that's really the biggest over run except one which is trim. Trim in double wides will bankrupt you if you arent careful. They dont have the same trim as single wides and although it looks traditional it's not YOU CANT BUY IT. They dont even use it in new ones anymore and if you re trim a whole double wide properly like it should be you can spend literally 10k on just trim. Usually a double will have a ceiling transition between the two halves you want to rob trim from those transitions on the ceiling to fix your door ways and what not down low. Then just re trim that transition with whatever you can buy that looks good. The last one I did had a fireplace with rope moulding trim so I bought trim with rope in it to match and that brought the room together more than ever before kept the original trim all throughout the rest of the home had it looking clean original and professional for real cheap I really did good by doing that. I made like 65k on that flip. Took 3 months.
@@youreatowel9705 I just haven’t come across any yet. I don’t have nothing against them other than they’re too much to move. We normally do not sell we just rent.
