@@GHarris-h5e I am 5 years to retirement at 67. I will have a partial State Pension and not a huge amount in SS, due to being out of the workforce for 20 years raising children.
Of course I will continue to work part time for as long as possible. But my post retirement expenses are heavy on my mind.
I have a great income as a Union State employee, but I am partially supporting my adult children.
I am aiming for no debt within 5 years. That isn't as simple as it would be if I only had myself to support.

When we wanted to move from our mobile home park, we wanted to move our trailer to a piece of land. We were told that because we had a pitched roof it couldnt be moved. Also our park didnt want our older trailer left in their park despite how nice it was upgraded. So we ended up having to demo the trailer. But we saved everything that we could...windows, siding, heater, etc. We really wished we could have moved it or sold it to someone who needed housing at the very least.

I had a 1967 King that was 12' x 50'....
I sure do wish that I never sold it.
It was built like a brick sh*t house!
The subfloor was 3/4" marine plywood, the frame was 1/2" steel U channel.
Of course it was framed in 2" x 2", but there was A LOT of it.
The home was in excellent original condition, it was owned by the same person since new, he sold it to me.
The interior was completely lined in either mahogany or birch paneling... There was a built-in Intercom with AM/FM radio, that went from the front door all through each room in the trailer.
Not enough insulation by today's standards, but the electrical system in that unit was actually ABOVE modern code... Every outlet and switch was commercial grade Lutron and all the wiring was 12 or 14G copper.
I should have held onto it. I always wanted to find a second one and "mate" the two of them together into a double wide.

Nice place on my parents property certain yards away from their house (about 100 years old). Planning to put up a two car awning garage and add porch on to front and rear entrances. Looks good and will be kept well. 150,000 for set up and hook ups. Taking a bit longer than planned due to utility hook ups. There is a nice trailer on my grandparents property that family member lives in. She hasn’t kept it nice and clean but only one person lives in it. 40 years old. Been there from brand new.

I love these guys. I came for the pinball and Ronnie talking trash, but I really love this side of things. Donnie's old school to the max, and if you can read a guy like that, you're in for a good time. Plus, who doesn't love a real estate video? You could have a knitting channel and go off on a real estate tangent and you'd probably gain viewers...just ask Louis Rossmann. ;)
Great video, though. A study in flooring. Notice the older laminates always swell at the seems over time. The linoleum is probably tacky to do a whole house in, but it looks like it held up alright. Traffic is hard on floors. And pets are always going to be having accidents, and a lot of times it gets out of hand. When you love animals and consider them family...
Now they make waterproof laminates that I would assume helps mitigate damage from moisture exposure (traffic, spills, humidity, pets, etc...), but it's not cheap. Typically around $4 a square foot. Linoleum is a about a quarter of that. And the wood patterns are far better than traditional linoleum, which was usually some floral pattern your Grandma would have thought was nice. ;)
No offense, Grandma. We love you always. Being guilty of a dated styling choice is not a moral failing...shag green carpet was all the rage in the 70s. And burnt orange in the 80s. I still have a thing for avocado green appliances, but good luck designing a modern kitchen around one. ;)

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Yeah, we have tried some of the water proof flooring does not hold up that well unless the subfloor is perfectly flat and when you’re patching floors it’s not always perfect so if you have a 32 of an inch difference the plastic will snap when you step on it. Yes, it is waterproof corners break real easy you set the box down on one edge you will break every corner in the box. Ask me how I know.

Fun! On my birthday my mom and I tour all the new and used homes at the 2 main local dealerships. My favorite. I like that you can see what you are getting with a pre-existing home. Some of the ones on our local dealerships are absolutely terrible. Like moldy, bio hazard, and repos and trade ins. They used to have a trailer junk yard. Some homes were used to store extra parts in. Like one would have bathtubs, another furnaces, and so on. But many have been hauled off and scrapped, I’m guessing they might have had to pay taxes on them but idk. Many were worthless and not able to rehab

Out here in the West Coast area we see used mobile homes everywhere on private land mobile home parks etc everywhere for really cheap that need to be moved out of the park because they're either aging them out etc anything before 1972 cannot be on private property and certainly mobile home parks won't take older units in. I've seen him as Laura was $3,000 and they're not in that bad of condition. If you're going to put them in a mobile home park the newer the better but a lot of parks are aging units out and don't want anything older than 10 to 15 years but if you're going to put it in private property then you can really improve that property and get a pretty penny for it. Also stay away from water damage anything that has water damage from the roof or the floor is going to be a real problem.

[@karentuttle9146]

Love seeing these would love to see more !

[@mybrotherdonnie]

We’ll see what we can do

[@SummerSunB]

It' not even OSB, it's like sawdust. 🤣🤣🤣

[@mybrotherdonnie]

It’s the truth it’s like MDF

[@WinnerWinnerEmmaDinner]

I love to buy one of these and make it my home. Here in the UK our planning laws are ridiculous and not for the common man, it's all geared towards big companies and a lot of dodgy under the table stuff. I was looking into a shipping container home/Tiny House so I could just not do the people thing, not have to listen to screaming children etc and it's so difficult to find a small piece of land to put a small place on.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Here in some places it’s hard to do like in the cities you cannot really do it but you get it out in the outskirts. It’s pretty relaxed.

Bought a 3bedroom trailer 10 yrs ago for 700bucks.. also around the same time got a 2 story house in north dakota for 10k.. some folks think you cant get a home unless youre a millionaire 😂

[@mybrotherdonnie]

Deals are still out there. You can get them relatively cheap it’s getting harder what 10,000 10 years ago is about like 50,000 now so yes I’ve seen some houses for under 50,000

[@MontyRoyal963]

Do the double... You're worth it.

[@mybrotherdonnie]

[@michellefalk5825]

@@mybrotherdonnie the stuff i used takes all scent away and cleans the oils in animal urine, cheap!! peroxide, the 90 something alcohol, a tad of dawn plat. dish soap mixed with water in a sprayer. it dont just cover the smell, it eats it up!! thats a tip for ya! the lady dont think ever let her 6 little dogs out, it was so bad the heat ducts were rusted through. from animal urine. flexible ducts are a good way to go and csst gas lines as well
