Manufactured home 2 years later: sell or no

advice pls, to sell or not to sell 2 year home owner

Me and my S/O purchased a manufactured home in WA state for 390k, on its own land (not in a trailer park), about 2 years ago. He just med boarded out of the army after 6 years of serving, and we are now starting a new life in NC.

We are torn whether to rent it out for now and sell later, or sell now to avoid any potential future maintenance needing done. Unfortunately, we made a bad decision and already invested a wopping 20k due to all of the windows being improperly sealed and getting mold in them.

He's biggest fear is finding out more things wrong with it down the road and putting ourselves deeper into debt than we already have.

My fear is missing out on possibly making profit on it by waiting atheist 4 years to sell, so we can pay off the investment we made on it and maybe pocket something.

I've been doing research as well and is it true that mobile/manufactured homes depreciate in value, opposite to a traditional home that appreciates?

Also I should mention that the homes current estimated value is at 400k. Thank yoh

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
