SOLD: The Land Under Mobile Homes 

' cause it's all about money!!

💯% agree

MONEY!!!!!!!!!!

Because the USA is knee deep in debt.

Because we are America! You might as well start a movement taking the ode on the statue of liberty sanded off! We do it because we are civilized and educated in matters

Same

I agree, to add what you statement. you must also educate yourself about property. so many homeowners don't even realize they don't own the land their home sits on.

That and owning it outright with low taxes and having solar, a well, and septic so that way you actually own it rather than it owning you.

doesn't work for apartment/condo

@@hksp that's why you don't buy into there scheme..

And if you can't afford that?

Only ones winning are the lawyers

The big Corp. are buying homes, mobile home parks, etc. so that individuals will not own their own home. They want control over everybody's life. It's called socialism/communism. Look @ China, Russia fir what your life will look like in the near future.

I hope the mobile home owners whip the snot out of the corporation in court! If the corporation did not do their due diligence before buying the park they have only themselves to blame.

Homes are for people to live in. Home are not real estate investments!!!!!👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 If you are sick and tired of China and Canada and any other greedy real estate investment companies buying up residential homes, please make your voice heard! Real estate investment companies are the #1 cause of homelessness. The #1 cause!!!!!!! High rents!!!!! You hate seeing homeless but you will be one of us one day if you don’t get aggressive about putting an end to homes as cash cows instead of places for people to live in! I will never pay another dime of rent to greedy landlords. Rents are tripling all over the USA. Donate to Homesonwheelsalliance dot org Watch Cheaprvliving RU-vid channel.

Florida like Las Vegas I’d the lost corrupt Republican State today! Every con man goes to Florida.

I'm sure a lawyer would be able to draft any legal requirements to change a foreign company into a local one. There are always loopholes.

probably China! " most favored Nation" according to many lining their pockets.

Blackrock and Blackstone are buying up all the land and all the houses. This is part of the one world government strategy, where you’ll have nothing but you’ll be happy. You’ll have no constitution or Bill of Rights and no property rights. Everybody will be dirt poor because that’s what the global elites want. This is what CRT, social credit scores are all about. They want to control the population on every level. It’s best to find a mobile home that’s small enough that you can transport yourself or perhaps buy a small piece of land in order to set it on.

Greedy Americans are also wrecking these communities…

where is your park? I found a couple parks in Arizona that the residents own their own lots.

@@eckankar7756 I live in Massachusetts

@@eckankar7756 We own the park. New residents pay $1000 and become members. When they leave, the $1000 is refunded. Our rent includes street snow plowing, trash pickup ( no having to pay for town trash bags), water, property taxes . The park is responsible for replacing driveways if needed. The park also pays for having septic systems pumped.

@@judimardula8685 So how much is the rent/payments?

@@judimardula8685 It's a cooperative.

govt is behind it

James Conway..NICE TRY,are you a ... CIA/MOSSAD/MI6 Agent ? Using the corrupt broken scheme of ...CONTROL-MIND (government definition) to fix it...really ???

Community Land Trust are another way of preserving the affordability of the land.

Protect them? They don’t own the land? Who’s fault is that?

@@dcg590 so by using your logic. I guess you don't think that people that buy a condo deserve any kind of protection either. Because all those people in the condo building don't own the land that the building sits on. However they're not expecting the Builder or the owner of that property to just up and sell it to somebody else that forces a eviction for the whole building. Most people would consider that very wrong. One of the biggest misconceptions about mobile homes is people have this idea they can just up and move the mobile home because it's mobile. But in today's world with mobile homes that's not always the case. And even if the home can be moved it's extremely expensive. Often times the city or county or municipality will deny you permission to even do so in the first place. Just like a person can't have a condo picked up and move somewhere else. So the laws should not treat a mobile home park differently than a condominium building. That's why I say there should be government agencies to protect people that live in mobile homes or mobile home parks. Especially if there are pre-existing leases those leases should be honored. Without fear that the property will be sold out from underneath them. And literally taken away.

It’s all about price gouging. I’m an RN also and live in trailor park. Can’t afford land. No bank will finance it. Rent is getting high!

When (what we’re) middle class jobs can no longer provide the fundamentals to sustain your life, then society will collapse. Time will tell if anything changes in this situation. Just heartbreaking & beyond maddening 🤬🤬

I bought my land first 23 years ago. 22 years ago I bought the mobile home to go on it. I paid for my well, septic, and electricity run to the property. After 2 years the house was declared affixed on the land. So I just have my mortgage and it is a fixed rate.

I can see renting a mobile home for a short time to build up some savings but never long time. MH depreciate rapidly. Even if you own the home you don't own the land and that makes you a renter for life. I was a hairdresser and bought a small house, now long paid off.

@@eckankar7756 There are the people who put their manufactured homes on land that they own. But other than that, I agree with you. The other thing about manufactured home living that also makes it like renting, is you are at the mercy of the management company when it comes to lot rent.

Unbelievable what’s Happening to this country! I fear people will become suicidal from the Entire Nightmare of it ALL 😐

These companies buying up these mom and pop, mobile home Parks, is getting out of hand! They found a legal way, to get rich, buying these low income parks. They raise the lot rent so high, people have to abandon their trailers, the company then takes ownership of the home and sells or rents it out. I wish everyone could afford to have their homes pulled out and relocate them. Leave the company with an empty park!

This is happening more and more, and purposely. The Govt (and other "elite" groups) are pushing people away from buying single family homes, and then, pushing renters toward a UBI - Universal Basic Income - a low type of "salary" (much like the govt checks that were sent out during the pandemic) that will be just enough to keep people parked in their tiny expensive apartments, with little possibility of purchasing a home, or even moving out of their apt. In most cities, you can see many boxy, 3-4-5-story apt complexes going up everywhere; those are part of the whole scheme. Thousands of these complexes are going up in cities, because in the end, shoe-horning people into these apartments will make them easier to track and control. And that is the ultimate goal (or one of them) of the elites: a small minority of the very rich controlling the rest of the population.

Well said.

FACTS!!

But if you have a mortgage, high taxes, and high utility bills, then the home owns you thus making you a glorified renter.

Not really I made money on my 4 th condo only one condo I lost money in 2008, I can sell it if the condo fee goes up, you can not sell you your apartment or rental you walk with nothing I walk with money so not a glorified renter. These sell in one day or less thats how in demand mine is.

@@zoeyzed5127 It's still only a step above renting though the only advantage is you can make money off the property.

No one actually owns the land if they are paying property taxes. Any local government can rezone anything at any time.

@@zoeyzed5127 with a condo you are partial owner of the land with a MH home you just own the home.

That is pretty cool that you did that with the lot. I’m sorry that you had to go through that experience though.

What state has such cheap property tax?

aScienceGuy...The problem (Your name)...

The elderly, retired residents in all those mobile home parks in Apache Junction, Glendale and others will slowly be kicked off the property now that real estate prices make the land more valuable than the small pittance of rent received from residents on fixed incomes. I'm thinking the older folks should set themselves up in vans and travel in caravans. Quartzsite is filling up with the forgotten people looking for a way to survive.

Wow you’re amazing for even trying implement a solution! Sorry things didn’t work out because of greed.

What an awesome job you did! Hopefully you will succeed if you try again.

Hi-way robbery

Inspired by your efforts.

Do you REALLY think they're trying to solve the housing problem? Hint....the anwser isn't yes.

Yes, the zoning is the big issue. Lots of land is relatively affordable, but it doesn't matter because the more affordable buildings are not allowed. It's as though the laws require people to spend more than they can afford. The rich get richer and the poor become homeless.

heck, even mfg homes are VERY expensive anymore. A new single wide will cost between $60K to $150K, most are nice inside, not "trailer trash" at all. Lots of videos on You Tube that feature walk thrus of new mfg homes. I would love one myself. Just my health and retirement income says "not affordable"

research BlackRock

That's horrible! Was he able to get housing afterward?

So he had 2 decades to prepare. If you rent, this is the risk. And why did you let him live on the street?

Thank you! I agree, I loved reporting on both of the communities who were able to buy the land for residents!

For me, this story is something which not only defines the present & future living conditions of "healthy communities," but reflects the success of my own family, growing up in a trailer in a trailer park in the heart of Los Angeles from 1947-1956! We were a family of 4 living in a one room trailer, with a public payphone, a trailer park bathroom with showers, a laundry room with clotheslines, and a central garden. Thankfully, the land owners recognized their responsibility to tenants, and conscientiously took care of maintenance, as well as kept the grounds clean & free of excess clutter. My parents often spoke of the necessity of home ownership, as well as making certain there was land that was "included," when buying a home. Apparently, during those years, there began "land speculation," where property was often used as investment opportunities for the future. It became increasingly clearer that this was a heartless "game," for many ppl, who had no concern for people, who often bought condos, which did not include the land underneath. I know in our Capitalist society, it is an unpopular idea, but I always felt that there should be limits on "profit" for housing, which to me is a necessity for living. Just as water, air, & food are part of our limited resources, so is land, And, truthfully, when contemplating other resources, like oil, metals, minerals, & such publicly sourced products like gas or electricity , our govt. assumes certain use as " part of the public's need," and taxes, funds, or regulates "public value," thus limiting the allowable profit. Property is in reality no different. The fact that most ALL US Land was either stolen or part of Land Grants based on "Discovery" by intruders, should rest as a heavy responsibility on those claiming "ownership." And, since Landlords of property have shown no conscious self regulation, even in the face of homelessness, Climate change, and problems with population density & displacement, it is high time that we place limits or create stable environments for future generations. Otherwise, we will soon find that "this Land is My Land," is no longer a "song" for the ages, but a Mantra for the Money Makers, who may be US investors or even more likely, investors from far away lands, who have bought the benefits of ownership, without ever having paid in Taxes or Military Service or generations of US Labor forces that served in the building of this Nation and the preservation of its strength as a sovereign Land!

@@dianamorris1647 speech speech👍

@@dianamorris1647 Thanks well said!

I live in WA state and agree with you, been trying to get to a 55+ park, rents and the mfg homes are too expensive now. And apt rents keep going up 20% a year.

Not to mention that on the majority of mobile homes, the towing tongue has been cut off & the road axles removed & the road lighting wires & taillights removed, plus you have to have the trailer inspected to see if it's even still roadworthy. There's also the small matter of the mobile home still being licensed to be allowed on the road at all. Most people assume that their "mobile home" won't be going anywhere ever again & let their trailer license lapse or have the title converted so that the trailer is registered as a permanent structure.

Oh this makes me so happy! That was the point, to show these communities for what they are. Thank you for watching and thank you for being so open about this topic.

I get people like skiing but it’s decimating our state. These towns only want rich people who will spend hundreds or thousands for a night of lodging. We need to reduce our focus on skiing and realize we don’t need to decimate the state to have boutique ski towns for rich people.

Well the globalist's goal is feudalism. "It's 2030 and YOU OWN NOTHING...." They aren't kidding when they say that. And that means THEY OWN IT ALL. They can't control everyone unless everyone is destitute. Then you'll have to take your poison shot if you want to eat.

I am very happy when contracts are enforced and the law is followed. 🇺🇸

Me too, but not at the expense of the people who own things and the tax payers who pay their way.

My sister and her husband bought a mobile home here in Florida turnkey for $15,000. Now those homes are $125,000. Not kidding. I worry too about the land not being theirs. I would hate to see the rug pulled out from under them. It’s a gigantic park.

@@IrishAnnie , Have they considered selling that mobile home and buying something that is on owned ground

@@debbieframpton3857 What about property taxes? I have seen some people say that's the same thing as renting.

@@swallowedinthesea11 , With the senior discount my real estate taxes this year are $939 for the year much cheaper then lot rent. Not the same

Like "buying" a condominium

No developer will build them anyway....

@@wayneroberts6642 Why not? They are economically viable.

That's why you ALWAYS buy title insurance to see if all is well and clear, obviously he didn't do this- now he's paying the price,sad to say

Your friend obviously assumed the land came with the home. Many people have no idea how it works. I'm sorry your friend found out the hard way. If he can't prove they told him the land came with the home, then he may not win. People can say anything, but if it's not recorded somehow, then there's no proof. : (

When you buy a house it should describe the lot of terrain where it is located and constructed on, its measure, the boundaries etc... and then the complete description of the house etc... To be sure about what you are buying you must go first to the appropriate governmental offices to check if the property has any debt with the government or any other compromise upon it. Once it’s officially cleared, you may buy it if you are still interested and from then on you pay your property taxes religiously and from time to time you ask for a clear again. Personally I don’t like to even having to think about that theme. I pay and I get a clear. Interests are high and will be higher until Gods know when. So no, having our house in the safe side is better if we could.

@@adyarym You Don't Get It...they are under NO OBLIGATION to give you any truthful answers...it's not in their "Job Description" ...really, I have been told to write letters to Florida Judges and found out later they throw them away as they are under no obligation to read any letters...so they don't ...not even required to log any letter received....CORRUPTION is not a strong enough word when describing the USA.

Should have read the small print

Rents were already $1000 for the land under mobile homes in Virginia five years ago.

Still a deal!

@@dcg590 Depends on what part of the country one lives in.

I am currently buying 41.2 acres in Las animas county for $15k. Out in the middle of no where just the way I like it.

Most of these people can’t afford that. That’s why they are renting

@@Starfish2145 I paid $4,000 for my 1/2 acre 27 years ago. We paid for it with my husband's back pay when he qualified for disability. Here in Texas quite a few people use their earned income credit refund to get the land, like my daughter is doing. I purchased the home I live in now with the last earned income credit we qualified for, $2,500+.

@@jeanbaker2087 well goodie for you, but we are talking about the here and now, 2022. And in places that are not Texas, lot prices and housing prices are thru the roof.

Or stupidity (on the part of the "home" owner)

@@MDAdams72668 Not necessarily. In the past real estate speculators didn't prey on them like these days. Wasn't always an issue.

@@yixnorb5971 My point is that hoping someone else does not increase your costs is foolish

Probably due to earthquakes in your State, insurance would be too high for mobile home parks today.

@@sandrabentley8111I'm a 4th generation Californian and never felt a earthquake. It's due to the price of property now days more than likely

There was one mobile home in Villa Rica for $130k.

The Chinese are doubtless buying up the parks. Other countries have rules against foreigners buying land; we should, too.

@@spiritmatter1553 What Chinese companies, specifically? Is this based on actual information? Or just anti-Chinese propaganda?

Thank you! I will definitely have more to come :)

Government not protecting the people, its always about the $$$ and humans suffer.

How is $100 a bad deal? My property taxes went up 1k last year? Try owning land.

@@dcg590 One hundred extra per month on top of the old monthly space rent. That would be 1,200 extra per year plus the rest of the space cost as before so about 8,400 per year now. Being a home owner is much better.

Rifle is a rural community with very few jobs and dial up internet. Try to make more money from nothing.

@@Melinda_Ross My SSI is $904, that is why many expats live here in Costa Rica where they can survive.

Well, in the USA that may be the case. In other parts of the World, where tenants are protected by their country's laws, long term security for tenants is not only a possibility, but quite often a regularity.

@@Dahrenhorst Laws protect the tenants, but not the property owners, sounds like Communism to me.

@@davidking4779 Of course there also laws to protect property owners. They just can't rip off tenants or rob them from their home at will like in the US. That this is claimed communism by a US citizen proofs the archetypal worldwide recognition of US people as to have no idea at all what communism (or socialism) actually is.

@@Dahrenhorst Please let me know what Communism really is, what I see of it I don't like. I was raised where there was a modicum of freedom on both sides of a contract, I see that freedom going away bit by bit. I am Libertarian who believes in free market Capitalism and personal freedom and responsibility on both sides of a contract are important to us.

When was this?

@@sandrabentley8111 last year

The primer the area the more risk you are of this happening to you making all of your upgrades worthless when the corporate entities come a calling. What city are you located in and does it have any mobile home protection in place?

Get together with some others and buy an acre of land, move your mobile homes there, the bottom line is you have to own the land not just the MH.

EXACTLY!!!

Question. I live on the east coast and have heard that west of the Mississippi, about 30% of the land is owned by the federal government, decreasing the available housing opportunities. True? If so… madness!

That's nice and all, but for some people a mobile home is all they will ever be able to afford. Did you notice the old lady in this video who was being priced out?

@@ColonelKlink100 yes I did, and what the people are doing ... pricing people out should be against the law. It's shocking and heart breaking that it's not. Particularly the way they are doing it. That being said, the land is being rented by the tenants. They don't own it. They need to realize that going in. If they are on a fixed income, a mobile home is not in their best interest. This isn't something to get into and then worry about the rent fees later...

@@grlygirl1264 So if one cannot afford rent, other than broken down, filthy, infested areas, they should not at least try to find something livable? One of our problems,is the inability for many to understand living on minimum wage, paycheck to paycheck, and chose to believe they are at fault. most do the best they can with what little they have. while being treated like 3rd class citizens or just plain worthless,.Being taken advantage of by greedy, already deep deep pockets. One can get up so many times, before just giving up. the weight of struggles for many do create the massive homeless situations this country now has> Laws, regulations, and greed. push people to the edge and over. add to that so many with medical issues, that are never addressed due to the medical care in this country being used as a weapon against those with little.Again the rules that come with help are used for control of the masses, and it is ignored, blown off, and the term "lazy" is a political buzz word.

I don't think people buy into a mfg home park and think their rents won't go up, but let's face it, rents going up $200+ a month once or twice a year is absurd! Where is the justification? Just greed doesn't cut it. Especially for an economic group of people who have no other places to go other than the streets. It wouldn't be so bad if these people had alternative places to live. But if you can't afford $1000 a month rent on top of a mortgage of $75K for your home, then you SURE can't afford a stick built house

@@elliecobb2734 Correct. Letting these companies to charge obscene rents will to cause a lot of homelessness. Colorado shouldn't allow it but people want to blame the poor people for being poor so nothing will be done.

Downtown Denver Colorado is beginning to look like San Francisco. Drug addict and mentally ill homeless. The California companies coming into Colorado to buy the land the trailer parks are built on is a problem.

Wasn’t Colorado the state that offered “welfare for millionaires” some years ago?

@@spiritmatter1553 I’m not familiar with that.

who paid $125 million for a mobile home? I missed that in the video. There are some very very nice mfg homes in the 3000 sq ft range that cost over $250K.

Plus, you don’t always have to buy new.

Insurance prohibits this...

Ok.

No you’re not.

They're selling 40-year-old mobile homes for $35,000 That doesn't sound like any car that I've ever heard of 😂
