Manufactured home on property- yes or no and why?

Title says the bottom line question.

Not a modular- axles were removed and it's tied down.

Looking for any and all advice, experience, knowledge. TIA

Details:

26 y/o, rural town in California. Relocating isn't possible as our business is here. Looking to buy first home. Looking to either make it a rental in the future, or improve & resell.

Stick-builts are a hard market. Options 350k or less all need major upgrades/repairs to be comfortable.

There is a manufactured for sale on 5 acres w/creek, permanent foundation (crawl space), with a 1b1b ADU.

Manufactured was placed in 2001 by the contractor who lived there, and has lived there since.

Well maintained, doesn't look its age. Needs some TLC. It has a gabled roof, ensuite bath, small walk in closet, added deck, and spaced well enough away from ADU.

Am I crazy to consider this?

What would reselling look like in 10 to 40 years? Would financing be possible once it's over 30 years? Would renting the MFG and ADU separately be possible? What is the realistic lifespan of a MFG?

It being essentially a 20 y/o trailer makes me nervous.

I want to make an investment, a place to live now but not be our forever home.

I read conflicting advice online, and had trouble finding answers to some of my questions, so please share your experience, advice, knowledge, etc. Genuine input needed!

Thank you 🙏

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
