    The built-in in the dining room is a 'China cabinet' and refrigerators didn't used to be the size of a small barn so that one space in the kitchen is where the fridge would go😊

      Lol your refrigerator line was so good and very true, I do remember China cabinets from when I was younger, I had never seen one built into a mobile home, I didn’t add it up when I first seen it but now it makes sense, thanks for pointing that out.😀

    I like the wall dividing the kitchen and living room. It gives character. Also the utility room location is cool, unlike just sticking it in the bathroom like most older mobile homes.

    YES, $3500 was too much. But $2500 is a fair price. I would keep that outside doorway off from the dining room and build a utility room off from it. You can put the washer and dryer in it, a freezer and it can act as a mudroom too. The "entertainment center" in the dinning/kitchen area is a buffet. I would keep that---Just spruce it up. Yes---you can fix that area on the exterior back where the vent is. Good luck. This can be a nice home.

    Hutch for dishes. Buy a small refrigerator where the door hinges can be on either side. With the hinges on the left side, the refrigerator will conveniently open for food preparation because kitchen is laid out to the right of the room. I'd leave the built ins, because removing them might make the roof less secure if they're at all weight bearing. The dark paneling has got to go. It looked like crap in the 60s -70s and still does. Just makes an interior too dark and emphasizes the limited size.

  • @americanrambler4972
    @americanrambler4972 5 місяців тому

    Wow! This home is a time capsule! 1960’s at it’s finest! The greens yellow, dark walnut paneling, all the built ins scattered around the interior. The only things missing are the avacodo green carpets, gold curtains, orange upholstery on the living room furniture. This home had it all. The his and her bedroom closet, the fake marble shower walls, the goofy sinks, the dresser drawers and counter with a mirror, the kitchen wall pass through between the living room and kitchen, the l shaped kitchen backing up to the dining room with a fancy built in China hutch. And the hidden washer and dryer right next to the back entry door. Perfectly lined up with the huge trunk on your sleek new Chevrolet Biscayne parked in the lengthways carport beside the home.
    This house looks like it has great bones and while lived in, is still in remarkably good condition both inside and out. I just think the buttresses and carriage light on the front of the home give it a great look.
    I am willing to bet if the outside of this house was soft washed, scrubbed, cleaned and wiped down, it would actually look pretty darn good overall even with the faded paint. Many a buff and wax would even restore quite a bit of its luster. And the damaged siding by the kitchen? That siding pattern is still available from RV siding vendors. Replace those outside doors with some new doors with appropriate windows and trim, you will have something really neat to look at.
    The interior layout is still something you can work with. I would probably replace most of the interior paneling with drywall, but I would really be tempted to keep all the period built ins.
    This would be a cool home to use for a bed and breakfast inn for the retro experience!

    If it had a title and I had a mover on stand by. I would of offered $1k for it. No title I would of told them I will haul it away. Good thing about that trailer is it has never been touched inside. Maybe put $5k into it rewiring and coating the roof. Then a cosmetic refresh inside. I would update the windows if not to cost prohibitive.Want it really nice I would say $10k to get it. Should make a good rental if you have a lot. Or rent to own. NC where I am renovated with some fresh paint outside maybe $25k to $30k for a rent to own if it is on a lot already. You have to keep the payments competive with rent prices. For example I can find a lot for $200 a month then I can probably get $500 a month for the trailer. With interest rates now the payments might be higher since a bad credit situation should be 15% to 20% interest. Perfect fridge for a rental is 10.7 cu ft. Never have complaints with the small fridges.

    I don’t think it was worth $3,500 or $2,500 i used to own a trailer home and lived there for for 6 years and it wears out pretty fast and you have to be replacing stuff on it and fixing stuff you have to be on it in order for it not to break down on you. I bought another trailer and then sold it because i couldn’t do anything to repaired it and it broke down in 2 pieces right in the middle of the street. The floors on trailer home wear off pretty quickly, the trailer home i had was just as good as that one and I sold it for $800. and it had brand new skirting on it, the one i had looked better than that one.

      If it was for me I would probably agree with you, but it will be a rental that needs to compete with others on the market and I like to attract the best tenants possible, it is in great condition for being mostly original like it is though. 😀

      I think it’s early 70’s and I’m pretty sure it’s 14 wide, I try to only get 14 wide homes, I think you probably got the length correct though it’s either 60 or 65, thanks for stopping by.😀

    U'd have to pay me to take that dump, not worth renovating..

      Yeah it most definitely is worth renovating, everyone has their own ideas though and you are certainly entitled to your own, they are just not the same as mine. 😀

      I have owned lots of single family homes duplexes and up to 4 unit apartments in the past, I still own 2 single family homes that I use as rentals, I make way more cash flow on mobile homes because I own the mobile home park. Yes you are correct that a home holds value and is a much more solid asset, I’m well aware of all the pros and cons, thanks for stopping by.😀
