Plenty. I bought my home for $80,000 bucks fully equipped, kitchen had dishwasher stove and refer agerater, and a pantry all brand new. size 24x54, way to big for 2 people. 15 years ago.
Bed room has a walk in closet.
2 baths full, the master has a tub, garden and a full separate shower. 2 sinks and stained glass windowes.
Living room has a big field stone fireplace, the family room is good and big.
As we chose to get a free flowing home, the dining room has glass sliders to the deck
Back of the house has 2 bedrooms, a full bath and a big laundry room.
We also got wool carpets that wear like iron and the only reason I want to replace the linoleum in the kitchen is I am tired of it.
Windows are those drop down to clean and so far have held up well the kind with 2 pains with some kind of gas inside to insulate them.
When we bought the home 15 years ago the cost for a standing structure or new built was 4 times the price. This was for a used home that may have problems or just the home with nothing but the structure, one had to expend money for kitchens, baths etc.
Today to buy comparable for our home in a new built is over $300.000 thousand.
The home is almost paid off , yippie a mortgage burning party in the near future.
This is much cheaper then buying a condo, all park fees go to improving the area. We got a lock down contract that allowed dogs an cats. We are able to have pets regardless of any rule changes--Grandfathered in.
All depends on where you want to move, a manufactured home is taxed on a auto rate in this state, the land is not taxed because it is not yours. Out town taxes were not that we were a Donner town would be about $800.00 a year.
Yes I know no one wants to live in a trailer park until one finds one like I found, good size lots, I have 3/4 acre of land but then I got here first.
The best thing about these manufactured homes is the Law of 18 months. Any and all problems with the home must be fixed within that time limit. Doors don't shut properly, drafts coming in or believe it or not if the appliances that came with the home burn out, washer dryer, stove hot water heater of furnance--they have to fix or you can call in your own contracters and electricians and send them the bill.
