Hi, John. 

   I went to a plant in south Georgia where they make these houses.  The houses are constructed inside of buildings the size of aircraft hangars.  Strict quality control. 

      That tour changed my mind about "manufactured houses".

I've talked to you a number of times about these types of properties when I have had questions - you are a terrific resource, my friend!

Perhaps you should form a new AR Group? Since we are just down the road from you; we would join.

I will bookmark this post.

We deal with quite a few manufactured homes in my area. This is interesting. I've written some posts on this topic. 

John, if one of those questions ever pops up I know your number.

It is a niche i got in and my largest community i sold was 149 manufactured homes. Now with the re-sales i am seeing these changes, now just to find loan officers that know the changes too John DL Arendsen 

Thank you for the offer John!  Much appreciated!  I don't deal with this type of property, nor do I desire to.  If I do have any questions or know someone who does, I'll send them your way.

Since there are many Factory and Manufactured Homes built here in Elkhart County, Indiana, there are a lot of people buying them here, so most of the lenders and agents are familiar with the information buyers need to be aware of, when thinking about purchasing one.

It's good that you and Janis can also provide information in your area. Buyers need to be informed before they make a costly decision. Have a great week.

Duly noted.  Thank you for being the excellent resources that you are. 

John,

We had a friend who was involved in the luxury end of the manufactured home, and he did very well and sold the company.  I have also heard that banks do not like to loan on them.  Yes, I would be interested in checking out a factory that builds them, just because I am interested!  A

Yes. I have.

There is little demand for these houses and to get into a listing often promise terrible loss in income.  

It's alwasy a benefit to have additional information for all types of propertes. I would join even though I don't do alot of these, but I do refer them out

John, your post this morning offered your services as the source! I'm in!

I know enough about the subject to contact you with any questions or when I need information.   

I love reading about prefab homes.... I prefer them over stick built.... 

i get calls for financing on these from time to time.

i just direct them to a manufacturer to see if they can get a list of lenders

It is always great to have a local source to go to when there are real estate questions.

parked and reading...

Not needed. Use your blogs.

I don't follow that market.  However, Warren Buffet has investments in that buisness.
