So often young people will over-extend themselves when purchasing things that depreciate rapidly. Automobiles are the most notable example, but mobile homes also fall under this category. There are some factors to consider when purchasing, so that there are fewer hangups when time comes for selling a manufactured home.
While trailer parks often offer free move-in specials, having ones investment placed in such a location can make selling it more difficult later. If the plan is to keep the property as a rental, then having it in a park will not be as much of a hang-up. However, while in-between renters, one can expect to be paying the lot rent and maintaining lawns and structures on the property.
Subdivisions and neighborhoods with estate-sized lots of two to ten acres are preferred by anyone shopping for a used residence. Rural communities often boast a plethora of such communities, and many of them will only accept a double-wide or larger home. Having a 2,000 to 3,000 square foot manufactured house on two or more acres is a dream home for many.
In general, single-wide trailers are not going to have a high resale value, and their deterioration can be both unsightly and dangerous. These older single-wides are frequently the scene of devastating trailer fires. Some trailer parks will not even allow single-wide homes to be placed in their community because they do not wish to be held responsible for such events.
Central heat and air is a trait which helps any house maintain value for resale. Some of these homes have very thin walls and simply do not hold in heat or cold; especially from space heaters or window units. Window units can drip moisture in the window, causing damage, as well.
When making the initial purchase, getting a high quality dwelling is a key ingredient, and this means paying attention to the thickness of the walls. If the walls are only about three inches thick, then one can expect to spend a great deal on utilities and have a lower resale value. The expense on electric and natural gas may even make it more expensive to live in these, rather than the more substantially built, yet slightly more costly, places.
When buying it new, the customer is sometimes able to choose specific amenities which will help save on utilities such as a shingled roof, laminant wood flooring, and double-pane windows. Most of these dwellings to include a large garden-tub, but there are water-saver toilets as well as electronic on-demand water heaters available. Such touches increase the value and desirability of these homes.
It is not uncommon for a homeowner to upgrade their place by hanging sheetrock. This increases the value, as does a cinderblock with painted stucco skirting. In fact, once you have wood floors, a luxury bath, shingled roof, and expansive front and back decks overlooking a wooded acreage, there really would be no good reason to ever sell that house.
