I love your videos and I feel you. I just turned 54 years old and I have been looking around at different places to retire at. I'm sure I'm like everyone else, just trying to get the most for my dollar. I have to say that $900 a month for lot rent is just crazy!! Hell that's more then what I'm paying on my home now. I have the same amount of space but I have 3 bed rooms and 2 full baths. Plus, that's what I payed for my house to back in 2005. Not to mention it seems that the lot rent is going up and up every year. You buy a place there and at some point can't afford your lot rent, then you are screwed. It just doesn't make any sense to look at places like these because you don't own the land the home is on. I still love your video's though. Keep up the great work.
First impression of female receptionist: •Unwelcoming; and appears genuinely comfortable with her low quality customer service- and appearance. Overall impression of mobile home compound: •Costly; mobile home unit, and *lot rent* •Cheap appliances, sink, doors, floors, countertops, shelving, shower doors, ceiling fans, windows, and light fixtures. ✌🏼
That my friend is critical thinking Of which there is such a lack From what I understand that woman's attitude is the new normal and topical HOA GESTAPO aka secret police show me your paper
OH BOY !...They better hire a new receptionist. TACKY !..and RUDE !..😠...Bet they have an HOA that'll drive you up one of those palm trees and back ! ,....🙄
To be honest, that's where all the lot rent is headed. I pay $940 at the moment in MN, but it's worth it because we have front and backyards and the setting is just like a regular neighborhood city street. Swimming pool, teen center,golf course, basketball courts multiple parks including a dog park. It's allowed me to save thousands compared to an apartment.
As you know since Covid the price of any housing has skyrocketed. Based on where rents are now, for something decent and moderately safe $1000, is where most start whether it's the lot fee or the rent. This has been my experience 🤷
I wished my rent was that amount. I live in Hawaii and for this studio apartment I'm renting is $1,350. Utilities not included. Only water and sewer. Yes Hawaii is expensive. What prevents me from moving to AZ, it is too hot and all my relatives and family lives here on Oahu, Hawaii.
My first mobile home park purchase was in 1998. I paid $62k for a nice 1500 sq foot and lot rent was $250. By the time I left it was close To $600 a month. One nearly never makes a profit on a mobile. The greed in America is overwhelming! But 1k for this place is ridiculous! The amenities were not even nice!
Nice home, terrible lot rent. For a $100K more you could buy a condo in Sun City and only have to pay HOA fees. You would have a lot more amenities as well.
You must also add property taxes and home insurance to that $1000 a month plus home maintenance ! I know because I own one of these! I’m fortunate in that I own my home free and clear but if a person must also have to finance the home then it it is indeed expensive!
Thank you for your video. $125k is a reasonable price for this mobile home in 2024. The lot rent is average when considering lot prices have skyrocketed in California. I pay $950 space rent in Southern California but have lived in my park for 24 years. When I moved in 24 years ago it was $650. I know the space rents in California average around $1500 and up if you are new residents. Keep the videos coming because my husband and I are considering moving to Arizona in the next 3 to 5 years to be closer to our daughter.
As someone who's lived in a 55+ MHP community in the fairly recent past I can say they are usually kept nice and are relatively quiet. That said, there is an issue sweeping the country where large corporations are buying up these retiree mobile home communities and then jacking up the space rent to an amount they know most folks won't be able to afford on a fixed income. They are not making improvements to justify the increases and there are no laws in place to prevent it. This community's space rent may be so high because they've already been through a purchase. The folks living in these communities are either forced to take a lowball offer for their home from the buyers of the community or they lose their home altogether (or have to pay the massively increased rent). The new owners then turn around and sell the homes for an exhorbinate amount or demolish them to make room for another mobile home. Mobile homes aren't really mobile once they've been placed on a lot so it's not like the folks who actually own their home can just relocate it and especially not after it's been in a spot for many years. The cost to move one is also extremely prohibitive. It is unfathomable this is allowed but it is and it's happening all across the country.
I like that this is a newer manufactured home and it is ground set. Also, the floor air vents are in all the right places, as opposed to older mobile homes that have them randomly placed in the rooms.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Here's a suggestion, when you're in Phoenix, AZ you should consider wearing a hat with a large brim, if you're going to be outside in that part of the country during the summer. Moreover, the lot should be way lower in order to attract senior citizens, otherwise no one in a fix income would consider moving there.
You crack me up! 2000 years later, and your gonna make me work for it? I love it your comeback. I’m watching this video as I am almost 59 and thinking about retirement years. Well, this isn’t cheap at all! Yikes! I feel very fortunate to have purchased our home 5 years ago here in AZ. Imagine was thinking we’d take the equity and pay cash. However, at this point we would be better off staying put. Lot rents are crazy and they will always go up! Thanks for your videos.
This was one of nicer ones and park. Sad though the investment companies are snatching these properties up and jacking up rates on fixed income people in the process. I'm 59 if things were ready, I'd be there!
The double wide is nice but only 2 bedrooms. There needs to be at least 3 bedrooms in that spacious home. And wow lot rent being 1k no way that’s ridiculous I remember it being half that price but yes times are changed but no way. Stay cool out there I live in Avondale az and do everyone early in the morning and stay in all day I don’t come out during this heat. Been here for 11 years this July from nyc and I have learned summer time is time to stay indoors 😊. Thank you for taking the heat for us to give us this tour.
I live in a 55 plus community here in AZ in the valley since 2017. I own my home, but it's on a leased lot. The rent goes up EVERY SINGLE YEAR without fail. Electric, water, garbage are additional. A big corporation from California owns the park. There is no end in sight to the rent raises. We get less services for more money. I wish I could move, but where to go?
Thank you Big Sup for showing these 55+ properties. I am also approaching 51 soon in July. Thank you for showing the options our there for our age that is affordable. :)
Good Good Morning Big Super 🙏 that office receptionist wasn't trying to encourage you to seek residency there huh ? Speaks loudly to who is the preferred customer there. The park itself was well appointed but that lot rental was awful steep. Keep Up the Good Work and make us AZ Strong !
C'mon if she can point at the wall and say everything is on the wall, then she can say so herself like she did. That's not stepping 9n sales toes giving out basic lot rental info, unless they charge different rates depending on location or worse "who you are". Red Lining does still exist but in more subtle ways. Sad but True.
@@chrisllang8055 yes, she was probably being lazy as well. After all, did you see the "ring bell for service"? That's for lazy people who do not want to be attentive towards visitors.
@@chrisllang8055. She wasn’t ‘redlining’ our favorite Arizona🌵 Utuber extraordinaire. Super - it is frustrating for us retirees to have to deal with rents going up every year. I saw one lady who had to move after almost 20 years in the same mobile home park. She had her friends & support system there but her family wasn’t willing to keep subsidizing the rent payment as it kept increasing. I felt so sorry for her.
Janet Andrews hello from Virginia: My parents moved to Goodyear AZ back in 1994 in the Pebble Creek 55 plus community they moved from long island NY my dad drove the subway train for 34 years my mom was a retired school teacher but when they purchase their home it was only $156,000 thousand dollars now fast forward to 2024 it is worth around close to $600,000 my mom also says if they had waited they would not have been able to retire there. Of course, this community is not somewhere you can live that's affordable unless you have the cash flow. I just wanted to say that man how the economy has changed !!
A beautiful piece of property for a $1000 lot rent and a $125000 for sale. You can't beat that. However, I could never live there because this is Arizona and it's way too hot. Someone living in Arizona, who is used to the weather and can afford the property. They cannot beat it if they try, it's beautiful.
Hey Big Super, The Home is extremely nice, But paying $1000.00, plus the Utilities is absolutely crazy. It would been nice, If they included the Utilities. Even fixed income for Senior Citizens is really expensive. And then adding an extra $100. A year, crazy. Love your Videos😊
I love mobile homes I love that we still have affordable housing in the valley . Very cool, simple living , don’t be slave to debt but only in a co-op situation or land otherwise nope. This is clearly geared towards seniors/snowbirds selling off properties and buying outright looking to downsize. Your paying for location
Everything is subjective but i would guess that this isn't "cheap/affordable" for many. Lot rent $1000+mortgage$1000 (assuming 20% down on a $127k home sale) + property taxes + insurance + electric + WST.....Let's assume an average of $2200-2400/month for a home on land that isn't yours with zero control over lot rents increases. DON"T get yourself stuck into these types of communities....
Exactly, it's a scam and a deep grave to try and climb out of if you don't have the full amount to purchase the home to begin with. Even then, it's still expensive to live there. I agree with you.
Wow a buck and a quarter plus 1000 a month space. If you look at most parks in So Cal the home would be twice that. The space rent is about average depending on the location, location, location👍
If 2 seniors who can't afford that much rent individually were to join forces, they would have a nice home for around $60,000+ each and $500/month rent. That's what it has come to.
100 a year. Whew! That's why I left the bay area and moved to AZ 20 years ago. At that time AZ was cheap. Now its crazy! We are in the cool NC mountains where is WAS cheap we got in just in time.
I live in a mobile home park in MA and the lot rent has increased since 2021 when i moved in. It was 425 and now its 500 a month. There is 1 single wide mobile home for sale on my street for 150k. Since we are within commuting distance to Boston or Providence, we have a really desirable location, and also across the street from a golf course. Its not a 55 plus but i am interested in moving to one down south some day :)
Big Super I reside in Oregon in the same setup. I have a newer 3/2 bath double wide. Our home is completely paid for but space rent $813. Goes up $50.00. Per year. Owner pays ALL utilities. We are in a retirement community someone has to be 55 in the home. Space rents have skyrocketed here because of the fires in 2020. That is the new normal.
100 a year. Whew! That's why I left the bay area and moved to AZ 20 years ago. At that time AZ was cheap. Now its crazy! We are in the cool NC mountains where is WAS cheap we got in just in time. That's one of the things that scared me in my 20s, watching my grandma get the rent raised on a fixed income. I saved and scraped to buy a home so that did not happen to me.
Janet Andrews hello from Virginia: Big Super I thought for sure you were going to say $240,000 that is real nice lot fee is high but if you can pay cash for the trailer and have your debt to income low not bad but again if you are just getting SSI and pension can be very tight financially. Not many seniors have a lot saved in there 401k because as you know life be lifeing!
Wow my husband and I could not afford the lot rent on something like this. We pay a little over 500.a month lot rent which includes trash and our water sewer.
Right and no fans, plus some other things that place is missing, but they want 125k for it and 1k lot rent that goes up every year. Nope, they can keep that bs.
the lot rent will ALWAYS go up. We lived in CA in a park. Bought in 2001 and lot rentwas $410. when we left in 2021 it had just gone up to $1000/mo. We went through many managers and at least three park sales. That is NOT including other epenses like sewage, insurance, trash, water, electricity, gas. the newer homes are beautiful. And parks want to encourage newer home purchases so they discourage the older homes from being resold. BUT, if you can get into an old mobile you should be able tobuy it outright. That's the only way to keep your monthly expenses down is by owning the home and not paying a mortgage on top of all the other expenses. We had little to no maintenance. The taxes were minimal at $72/yr. Worst problem I had in 20+ years was when I went to sell it. I had to sell it to only an approved buyer (according to the park owners). This took me 9 months and 5 cash offers.
If it’s hot like that through out the day, what’s the point of outdoor activity amenities, if it ain’t a pool I’m not tryna do it, is it cooler in the winter months, like Florida
Only look for a MH Park where home and lot land, can be purchased and then are owned by the buyer. Or consider a CONDO 2-3 bedroom, clean, well run place with good financial reserves. A realtor should be able to help you find either one of these alternatives.
If you have a 125K yes 1K lot rent is reasonable but raising a 100 a year isn't especially if like me on SSDI 1800 a month after mandatory insurance my rent is 900 a month then all my utilities and depending on the weather my power could be 400 I am lucky if I have 200 for groceries a month but it all depends, I might have a 100-200 left maybe Plus if I need to go somewhere a Cab is going to be 70-80 round trip and that's cold hard cash or extra charge to use credit/debit card, I was living here before my Stroke so I am stuck and my credit is now in the toilet. That place looks good if you get 3 Grand a month or more but property taxes going up also so next year they could raise the rent up 200 or more. The what If's pricing me out QUICK.
When you said you don’t know how to change the lot rent, the people that live in the park would have to get together and buy the park, they would have to Co-Op it. They would control the rent and HOA FEES. And that’s cheap 1,000 is great compared to rent prices.
I was checking out your different channels looking to see if you did off grid living videos I desperately need a chunk of land I can live in my motorhome I am 64 and have spent as much money on this MH as a house cost when I was in my 20s LoL and I want to live in it and take to seasonal jobs I want my own pad with awning and septic There has got to be some where I can do this As you can see I am getting desperate If you know something please spill it 🙏🙏💯💪💕
They are stopping owners from doing that That means they are stopping them from having you needing to make 3 times the rent. Which will prevent a lot of homelessness
He is right about investors buying up parks and raising the rents by enormous amounts. In our town, lot rentals went from $200 a month to over $600. Since mobile homes are usually the housing of last resorts, they are occupied by people with very limited incomes. Lot of elderly and single moms lost their homes and had no place to go. It was one of the saddest things to see but put human greed on full display. Management had not sympathy for the families affected.
The cheapest mobile home in a 55 plus community in my county coasts $59K. $850 a month lot rent. 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 480 sqft. It looks bad from the pictures and not in a good area. California.
It is unfortunate that mobile home communities are facing challenges due to rising lot prices and rent increases. This situation can lead to individuals losing their trailers and homes, which can have a significant impact on their lives.
I live in a 55+ community in Tempe. Was able to pay cash for my Cavco home back in 2020. Lot fees run abt $900 plus electric. I only have lot fee pymt plus yearly prop tax for the land that the mfgd house sits on. The rest of the property tax is factored into rent fee. We enjoy living here and use all amenities available. My place is abt 1250 sq ft 2/2 w/carport & shed. would not be able to afford an apmt or house this same size.
I love your videos and I feel you. I just turned 54 years old and I have been looking around at different places to retire at. I'm sure I'm like everyone else, just trying to get the most for my dollar. I have to say that $900 a month for lot rent is just crazy!! Hell that's more then what I'm paying on my home now. I have the same amount of space but I have 3 bed rooms and 2 full baths. Plus, that's what I payed for my house to back in 2005. Not to mention it seems that the lot rent is going up and up every year. You buy a place there and at some point can't afford your lot rent, then you are screwed. It just doesn't make any sense to look at places like these because you don't own the land the home is on. I still love your video's though. Keep up the great work.
Yup, that's why if you are going to purchase a mobile home, make sure you buy it in a neighborhood so you don't have to worry about lot rent.
Great place, you have to figure the lot rent and mortgage plus any extras. Many seniors have to return to the workforce because SS isn't enough.
You better buy your land honey Because they're a Price gouging. With no conscience. I remember Renting a trailer spotfor Sixty dollars
First impression of female receptionist:

That my friend is critical thinking
Of which there is such a lack
From what I understand that woman's attitude is the new normal and topical HOA
GESTAPO aka secret police show me your paper
It looks fancy for a mobile home park, but that's only cause you paying the luxury price tag
You’re just broke
@@Yntstax
LoL 🤣 yup
OH BOY !...They better hire a new receptionist. TACKY !..and RUDE !..😠...Bet they have an HOA that'll drive you up one of those palm trees and back ! ,....🙄
It's nice for the price but the lot rent starting at $1k is too much.
That's not affordable. I would only have 430 after I pay rent. No thank you.
Not too much if the place is filled up with people paying that price.
To be honest, that's where all the lot rent is headed. I pay $940 at the moment in MN, but it's worth it because we have front and backyards and the setting is just like a regular neighborhood city street.

NO WAY IN HELL I WOULD PAY $1000 for a lot to rent on TOP of all the other utilities
Exactly
Agreed that is ridiculous. You could buy the land over time at 12k a year.
I wished my rent was that amount. I live in Hawaii and for this studio apartment I'm renting is $1,350. Utilities not included. Only water and sewer. Yes Hawaii is expensive. What prevents me from moving to AZ, it is too hot and all my relatives and family lives here on Oahu, Hawaii.
And the payment for the trailer shit is crazy 💀

Right
Big Super get you sunglasses out the car before they melt!! It’s freaking hot here!! 🌵
I'm a senior and I couldn't afford to live there on just my social security.
Neither could I!
@@marywalters1181 I might, but it would be a tight squeeze!
Work - don't collect handouts!
Nice home, terrible lot rent. For a $100K more you could buy a condo in Sun City and only have to pay HOA fees. You would have a lot more amenities as well.
You must also add property taxes and home insurance to that $1000 a month plus home maintenance ! I know because I own one of these! I’m fortunate in that I own my home free and clear but if a person must also have to finance the home then it it is indeed expensive!

She is likely part of management, not sales. Only the sales team, due to licensing, can get into much detail on home sales/rentals.

Very nice. 1000 is low many parks are up to 1500 . That’s cheap. Thanks for showing us this mobile.
Mine is in the 500 dollar range in a different area of Arizona.
The 1k is just starting out. It goes up every year. That is ridiculous
Where are you in Arizona? Im looking for my mom but $1000 lot rent is crazy@@Fishouta

If 2 seniors who can't afford that much rent individually were to join forces, they would have a nice home for around $60,000+ each and $500/month rent. That's what it has come to.
Thank you, it's beautiful 🤗
Hey Big Super great to see you back on the scene once again, how's the family blessings🤗
100 a year. Whew! That's why I left the bay area and moved to AZ 20 years ago. At that time AZ was cheap. Now its crazy! We are in the cool NC mountains where is WAS cheap we got in just in time.
I live in a mobile home park in MA and the lot rent has increased since 2021 when i moved in. It was 425 and now its 500 a month. There is 1 single wide mobile home for sale on my street for 150k. Since we are within commuting distance to Boston or Providence, we have a really desirable location, and also across the street from a golf course. Its not a 55 plus but i am interested in moving to one down south some day :)
Name & location of this park in MA please :)

Big Super I reside in Oregon in the same setup. I have a newer 3/2 bath double wide. Our home is completely paid for but space rent $813. Goes up $50.00. Per year. Owner pays ALL utilities. We are in a retirement community someone has to be 55 in the home. Space rents have skyrocketed here because of the fires in 2020. That is the new normal.
This is absolutely beautiful, the land rent is a bit high, but it’s still a great buy.
Great video, thanks for sharing.

That's one of the things that scared me in my 20s, watching my grandma get the rent raised on a fixed income. I saved and scraped to buy a home so that did not happen to me.
GM big super and family 🥰😍
Good morning Jeanette!
That is a nice house but the lot rent. I think you can get a nice freestanding house probably nicer.😮
Exactly, and you can.
Nice! Great investment or home another great video sup
What are y'all gonna do when Mead dries up and there is no water?
I like it. Thinking about moving to Arizona 9 months. To be close to family.
As a man you don’t consider what we a like. A double sink in a bathroom is very useful. Please see the bigger picture!!!❤
U r awesome
Janet Andrews hello from Virginia: Big Super I thought for sure you were going to say $240,000 that is real nice lot fee is high but if you can pay cash for the trailer and have your debt to income low not bad but again if you are just getting SSI and pension can be very tight financially. Not many seniors have a lot saved in there 401k because as you know life be lifeing!
Exactly
Wow. Expensive & lot rent will b always raised
Exactly, that's a no-go.
Big Super you should get one of those minature fans that sprays water.
Looking good..... thanks for the info😍🏳🌈
Big super...have you done anything in the Payson area... looking at leaving California and retiring in Payson.
I haven't But there is a 1st time for everything. message me, Get me involved.
Hi super, love that mobile home, looks like a house.watching you from hemet, ca.😊
Thank you for sharing.
Wow my husband and I could not afford the lot rent on something like this. We pay a little over 500.a month lot rent which includes trash and our water sewer.
No bath tub in the master? Dealt with that same attitude from that office staff lady at some places I looked at, and refuse to live around that.
Right and no fans, plus some other things that place is missing, but they want 125k for it and 1k lot rent that goes up every year. Nope, they can keep that bs.
@@313MartinLooks like the bedrooms are prewired for ceiling fans. You just have to install them. What else is missing? Just curious.
I remember the summer heat when I lived in AZ. Lot rent is too high.
Its nice and not a bad price
Hey, soak the towel in water and around the neck or forehead. Helps.
Villa Carmel park owner raises the rent every year; this year $82/mo increase plus water. Most lots will be over $800/mo. by October
the lot rent will ALWAYS go up. We lived in CA in a park. Bought in 2001 and lot rentwas $410. when we left in 2021 it had just gone up to $1000/mo. We went through many managers and at least three park sales. That is NOT including other epenses like sewage, insurance, trash, water, electricity, gas. the newer homes are beautiful. And parks want to encourage newer home purchases so they discourage the older homes from being resold. BUT, if you can get into an old mobile you should be able tobuy it outright. That's the only way to keep your monthly expenses down is by owning the home and not paying a mortgage on top of all the other expenses. We had little to no maintenance. The taxes were minimal at $72/yr. Worst problem I had in 20+ years was when I went to sell it. I had to sell it to only an approved buyer (according to the park owners). This took me 9 months and 5 cash offers.
If it’s hot like that through out the day, what’s the point of outdoor activity amenities, if it ain’t a pool I’m not tryna do it, is it cooler in the winter months, like Florida
Only look for a MH Park where home and lot land, can be purchased and then are owned by the buyer.
Or consider a CONDO 2-3 bedroom, clean, well run place with good financial reserves. A realtor should be able to help you find either one of these alternatives.
Are there any mobile home communities that are not 55 plus in or around PHX?
If you have a 125K yes 1K lot rent is reasonable but raising a 100 a year isn't especially if like me on SSDI 1800 a month after mandatory insurance my rent is 900 a month then all my utilities and depending on the weather my power could be 400 I am lucky if I have 200 for groceries a month but it all depends, I might have a 100-200 left maybe Plus if I need to go somewhere a Cab is going to be 70-80 round trip and that's cold hard cash or extra charge to use credit/debit card, I was living here before my Stroke so I am stuck and my credit is now in the toilet. That place looks good if you get 3 Grand a month or more but property taxes going up also so next year they could raise the rent up 200 or more. The what If's pricing me out QUICK.
Yup
When you said you don’t know how to change the lot rent, the people that live in the park would have to get together and buy the park, they would have to Co-Op it. They would control the rent and HOA FEES. And that’s cheap 1,000 is great compared to rent prices.
I was checking out your different channels looking to see if you did off grid living videos
I desperately need a chunk of land I can live in my motorhome
I am 64 and have spent as much money on this MH as a house cost when I was in my 20s LoL and I want to live in it and take to seasonal jobs
I want my own pad with awning and septic
There has got to be some where I can do this
As you can see I am getting desperate
If you know something please spill it 🙏🙏💯💪💕

Hey Big super ❤
They are stopping owners from doing that That means they are stopping them from having you needing to make 3 times the rent. Which will prevent a lot of homelessness
When is it going into effect because I still see it everywhere?
They need to stop it!!, I hate that!!
Nice❤❤ great price
I'm outside of Palm Springs and live in a mobile where I own the lot, no rent but we have an HOA $220 per month.
You can test the soft close without slamming them. Maybe treat these places like they aren't yours since they aren't...
We had 108 in Ocala, fl today
GM ur so funny I really like the homes but do you have other places like in GA thank you
He is right about investors buying up parks and raising the rents by enormous amounts. In our town, lot rentals went from $200 a month to over $600. Since mobile homes are usually the housing of last resorts, they are occupied by people with very limited incomes. Lot of elderly and single moms lost their homes and had no place to go. It was one of the saddest things to see but put human greed on full display. Management had not sympathy for the families affected.
If that is customer service now I wouldnt want to be there 😢
Thats not cheap, I live in Arizona 14 years nothing is cheap there 😢😢
Awesome video
The cheapest mobile home in a 55 plus community in my county coasts $59K. $850 a month lot rent. 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 480 sqft. It looks bad from the pictures and not in a good area. California.
It is unfortunate that mobile home communities are facing challenges due to rising lot prices and rent increases. This situation can lead to individuals losing their trailers and homes, which can have a significant impact on their lives.
I live in a 55+ community in Tempe. Was able to pay cash for my Cavco home back in 2020. Lot fees run abt $900 plus electric. I only have lot fee pymt plus yearly prop tax for the land that the mfgd house sits on. The rest of the property tax is factored into rent fee. We enjoy living here and use all amenities available. My place is abt 1250 sq ft 2/2 w/carport & shed. would not be able to afford an apmt or house this same size.
Very nice place ❤
Beautiful home I’d rather buy one of type homes and put it on my on property l feel like that lot rent is a deal breaker.
Most definitely
