Is There Money To Be Made In
'Mobile Homes' In Today's Market?
I am frequently asked if the market is still ripe for investing in old "Mobile Homes". The following post may give you some ideas and suggestions about the viability of investing in older homes.
Cheap does not always translate to a good deal. It's all about the 'PATH of PROGRESS & that's right LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Those looking for new or different ways to provide housing for your clientele or perhaps even enhance your own passive income portfolio may find this interesting.

mobile homes: What Does California Consider A Permanent Foundation On A Mfg. Home?
- 07/16/15 02:59 AM
What Does California Consider A
Permanent Foundation On A Mfg. Home?
The California Puzzle
What does California consider a permanent foundation?
In California an engineer's opinion alone is not enough to verify a foundation. A recorded "Notice of Installation" aka 433A is the recognized California stamp of approval for a permanent foundation.
Beyond proof of a permanent foundation, the 433A is also a title conversion document, verifying that the home and land are conjoined as real property.
So how does one acquire a 433? California has a number of stamped and approved engineered plans that carry the designation … (5 comments)

This is happening all over America in a very STEALTH sorta way. We're seeing prices tick up whence inventory is sorta building. Not sure exactly what to make of it. But it's certainly been a boon to the Manufactured Housing Industry.

In the past, we considered homes priced $200K and under to be affordable. Admittedly, that was always an approximation, an informal … (6 comments)

Today's
"FACTORY BUILT HOUSING TECHNOLOGY"
For Tomorrow
Blu Homes was founded with the goal of making better homes for American families—better built, better to live in and better to maintain. We began after funding a two-year graduate study on the future of housing with the Rhode Island School of Design that found prefabricated homes to be the best way to consistently build quality homes, with little impact on the environment. But our founders wanted to look beyond the traditional prefabricated home and applied aerospace technology from MIT to craft our homes in an entirely new way.
