Highlights/Topics:
- What is Glenn’s take on investing in real estate, specifically single-family homes? Buy manufactured homes and follow the same strategy.
- What are mobile and manufactured homes? Real estate, not trailers. Homes go on concrete runners and tied into concrete. Many are wood-frame or vinyl construction. Siding and skirting options vary.
- Do mobile/manufactured homes qualify for financing? Yes, the same FHA financing as a single-family house is possible.
- Are construction standards associated with mobile/manufactured homes? Homes built since 1990 meet construction standards.
- What do most people not understand about mobile/manufactured homes? Homes that meet construction standards are built just as strong or better than other homes.
- Why are these homes cash cows and gold mines? They're built in a factory, they come out at a better price, and they cost less.
- What do these homes offer investors and tenants? They get more square footage for the dollar, whether they buy or lease them.
- Are these homes listed on MLS, as manufactured and/or mobile homes? Yes.
- Is there much competition from companies considering manufacturing/mobile homes? No, they skip that designation because they view it as inferior.
- Do mobile/manufactured homes depreciate? A personal property mobile home will depreciate. When on land, it goes up/down with single-family house business.
- When you remodel a manufactured home, is there anything you have to know? It's much easier because permits don’t need to be pulled, and the process is completed sooner.
- How much do mobile/manufactured vs. traditional homes cost? $80,000-$90,000 vs. $250,000-$275,000.
