We bought a house for $1

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Found a one dollar mobile home on craigslist. It’s a 1980 model. We had to remove the addition and get hauled over to our place which did end up costing a little bit of money but overall we’re gonna be in less than a conventional house build

When we were first married,any home besides renting would of been a dream come true 40 yrs. ago.when you're young getting a home even one that needs tons of work is better than nothing.good luck!
Thanks
Absolutely!
Yeah we moved a 1977 Schultz mobile home 200 miles to our 20 acre property we were up on a hill so the tow truck couldn’t move it any farther so they used a bull dozer to move it to the pad. It was much easier
Mobile homes are great, first home I owned was an older mobile home that was pretty much move in ready that I bought at 19 when I was pregnant with my oldest child. It was great, easy to do repairs and upkeep. Wish it was liveable, we still have it on the property but roof went so it's going to be stripped and burned. We now live in a 1700 square foot house built pre 1900 on the same farm but boy it needs so much work. Something is always going wrong floors falling, floor beams breaking, foundation work needs done and more. . It does make me miss living in the old mobile home wish we would have realized roof needed coated. Did a trade with someone for it 13 years ago and he was suppose to move it but never heard from them again. Tried to give it away for years long before roof was bad but no one would move it.
Heck the wood stove is worth more than $1! I think you did good!
Pretty sure that's a pellet stove and worth even more than a wood stove
@DaleGribble-q3c I can't believe you actually said that....... who can afford to heat their home with gas these days?
@DaleGribble-q3c 60 years old and I have a pellet stove. I've never used the heater. Pellets and wood are much cheaper than gas in any state.
@DaleGribble-q3c what kind of dipshit buys wood from the store? I live in Colorado I just go across the street and cut it. It's free
Proud momma right here! If anyone can fix this $1 trailer up my son Kelby and daughter in law Olivia can do it! They are amazing young adults and aren't afraid to do anything, good job kids! It'll be a great place to raise my sweet little granddaughters! Love you guys!
You got yourself a fixer upper $1 plus moving expenses is way better than a forty year mortgage,all you need is time and money and your gonna have a great home.
Amen!
a mortgage is better than renting. With mortgage you lose some money, but renting you lose ALL money.
@@ChrisWijtmansI m 60,I do not want the property tax, repair cost, unexpected expense of a house, not to mention yard work. For me renting is great. I have time to party at the pool with the new friends I have 🏊🎊
@@reglook1 guess what, when you rent you ARE paying property tax. Renting does not absolve you from repair or yard work either.
@@ChrisWijtmans It's all perspective. With a home and land, sure, you may own the home one day if you live long enough after paying off a 30-40 year mortgage but you'll never own the land since you'll pay property taxes on it till the day you die. Fall behind on it and miss a few payments on your property tax you'll get booted out of your own home. What good is owning a home if you can never own the dirt your home is on? Seems like a scam
And when we first were first married, some 52 years ago, we thought that by paying $1800 for a 1962 Fleetwood 10'x50' mobile home that had been used by migrant workers and a city mobile home lot for $3000 was a good deal. Lots of work but as bad a deal as that probably was, it proved to be a heck of lot better than renting. Good luck to you young folks.
SHIIIIIDDDD You guys got a hell of a deal. The wood stove ALONE is well worth it. I've seen people remod, do awesome jobs, drastically increased the value and lasted them for years.
Awesome deal for $1 plus appliences, hot tub and a nice wood stove. Its going to be great watching you guys turn it into your home!
Love it! Blessings 😊
Absolutely
Appliances, not "Appleinces".
looks like my first house 42 years ago dude you did good. hope the best for you
Having lived in mobile homes, if you're going to build an addition on it I highly recommend putting a roof over the whole thing plus the addition to make it leak proof. Good luck! New subscriber.
That’s what we plan on doing! Thanks
Just found u this a.m congratulations! I need a 1$ mobile home and a place to put it and remodeling job too!😂😂❤
get a 5 gallon bucket of liquid aluminum heat it up stir it up and paint the roof with it .
I live in a big triple-wide, 17 years old. I can't imagine doing what you did, but it was sure entertaining watching you do it! What an adventureI don't know if there were meltdowns behind the scenes, I'm sure there was frustration, but if you kept it together half as well as you showed on the video, I salute you! I have great admiration for those who, when things go wrong, just say, "OK, now how do we fix this & move forward?" instead of having temper tantrums. You have quite a project there, but I somehow think you'll succeed in the end.
It was a challenging day but meltdown or tantrums don’t do anything to help the situation. So none of that from me. I did say a few prayers. Going to be a fun project that we are very grateful for
What got me was when you stepped on your dog, obviously it got hurt, but you were too fixed on a $1 eye sore instead.... 😮
He’s a drama queen, little bump and he cry’s
@@koacres cries
@@Michael-zv8cl Dog was fine, needs to learn to stay out of the way. Why don't you go troll someone else if you are so offended by someone trying to make a home for his family & keeping a couple of tons of waste out of the landfill.
I bought a mobile home when I was in the Navy. It was on base. Paid 3k for it, modified it a little at no expense and sold it for 10k a year later.
30 men and a keg of beer we turned that rig around 👍👍🤣🤣
Beer gives you powers frl😂
great price! I paid 2500 for mine and then another 3800 to move it. 3 years later still working on finishing it LOL
How far out did you move it?
Whew, bet your glad that is over with. She took a beating but hey for a dollar in my opinion worth it. Make her stronger where you can. Blessing to you in your new home and may you not run into to many more problems. Peace!
Clyde owes you part of his fees back......just saying.....it was a tight area but ending up off the road was just operator error.
You’ll do GREAT with this ! You’re not a lazy person and you have lots of good bones to start with 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊 all these naysayers and folks that aren’t used to working for what they have can kick rocks 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️! MUCH luck 🍀!! 😊
Ain’t that the truth 👍🏻
Good for you......what makes this work is if you can get help from family and friends.but for many they must do their homework on what your area allows with their bylaws....is it even able to move.....you sound like you know what to do and you have lots of help...what a blessing....blocks and wood from your deck can be reused.....I send you good wishes,
I owned a Trucking Company that transported and set these units up. If you can raise it up by the Tongue' you can pull out all blocks as well as hook up the axels. I know yu most likely will not even see this But when the axels with tires is on that makes it easier to remove everything behind the axels. You can then lower the front. When towing an open unit, It is extremal dangerous in a cross wind. They roll over sideways very easy. Do not pull tis with a Truck not designed to tow such units, They can Jackknife the smaller trucks extremely easy. Good Luck,
Amazing! You are not falling for the trap that Banks and Mortgage companies want, to keep you trapped for 30 years. Young people have it going on. Best of luck to you in your endeavor.
osb at the ground will wick moisture. If you have the budget, get your new addition built then build a truss roof over everything. It keeps the unit cooler in the summer and no worries about leaks!
I loved Bart the dog.
I love Bart too, but worry that he's allowed to be under the building when it's being maneuvered.
My husband and i lived in a tiny house when we hot married almost 42 years ago. It needed some scrubbing...his dad had worked honey iñ there (he kept bees.) I would go back and do it again. I lost him 2 1/2 years ago. Best of everything to you...
That’s one hell of a project Kelby! Beautiful lot you got there. Excited to see the next video. Tell Bart I say hi 👋 😄
Thanks man!
I think y’all will do great can’t wait to follow along as you renovate your new home
I am really enjoying your mobile home makeover. My husband and I bought a piece of property adjacent to our house that has a 2002 model mobile home on it. It was in much rougher shape than yours. We first thought we would fix up and rent it but eventually decided to sell it after we did most of the structural repairs. A sweet young couple bought it and are preparing to move it. You are doing a great job!
Pay a “mortgage” to yourself… just put the money away in a separate account, and let it grow. That way one day you can upgrade and remain debt free.
Wow! I admire you for taking something like this on. Just watching it made me a nervous wreck! lol Going to be fun watching you make this a home.
That loose dog was pushing my anxiety levels to the limits. Great find and a nice new project.
Me too, I was so stressed lol
Be nice to have most homes these days as cheap as a dollar then we wouldn't have so many homeless around
Wow- I was just breezing through RUclips and your headline of “$1 home” grabbed my attention….and now I’m hooked! It is so awesome to see a couple find a project home for so cheap and be able to afford the rebuild! You sound like you have a working knowledge of construction, mechanics and common sense along with a group of hardworking people. Good luck - we can’t wait to see your finished home. Bart is a curious, patient little guy- I know he’ll be thrilled to romp around his new home!
Thats why the pros make the big bucks ! We would take 2x4's and diagonally inside on the walls open all the windows screw all the doors shut and 2x6's across the roof plus remove all the appliances but you didn't know , ive done 100's of them , and we used skates to move them sideways but nice job !
Yea that would’ve helped a bunch. But this company was cheaper… so get what ya pay for haha
Lucky it made it. I’ve seen some on the side of the freeway. Not all are meant to be moved. Good luck. Keep all the usable scraps for other projects.
And we always have projects going on, going to reuse the old metal side for a goat/chicken coop
I am currently watching DIYfferent do up a single wide mobile home. Really pleased to land on your channel by chance. Have subscribed.
Me too
Bart 🐶 is adorable. Looks like he came straight out of a PIXAR movie 🎥.
Yeah adorable how they didn't give a shit about him being hurt while the trailer was coming in.
It cost you couple thousand to move it & set up! In most cases, you're doing the former owners a big fav and saving them money, instead of them paying someone haul these ole mobile off and depose of it! ...
It will be nice, can't believe it is so nice and big
I would live there as is. Even with the roof leak. Wouldn’t bother me. All you need is shelter at night to lay your head down.
That’s right for the price can’t beat it!
What a solid frame! Wow!
My boss left a newer office trailer we used on a job site. Just left it after the project was over. He should have sold it. Your idea is a work in progress. But a cool project. 👍👍. Plexiglass works for cheaper windows,
You should invest in a mule, if you move trailers in or out of there. It has been a lifesaver for shedhappens and other movers.
Good luck guys 🤗. Can’t wait to see what you do with the place 🥳
I saw so many "free" ones over the years that I kept my eye out for land that i could put my 5th wheel on and just search for a free one. I ended up buying a nice doublewide for 10 thousand just down the road. What process but well worth it. Its the ultimate budget house hack to live rent free and no mortgage.
That’s how you gotta do it nowa days!
@@koacres the reason I bought one instead of the many free ones Iooked at is because living on my own land in a 5th wheel let us save up and wait for the perfect home. Getting the land is the first move.
This is a great buy. Will subscribe to see how you transform this house into a home. 😊
I think I would have fond some one. Else to move that trailer because they suck lol😮
Just found you and subscribed ...This is going to be a great adventure .
$1.00 and still looks this good JACK POT!!!!!!
I know you wont have to for a long time, but I would definitely find another transport service next time 😂
Thrashing a 20,000 lb trailer around corners like its a nascar speedway, shouldve kicked him out of his seat 😂
I bought mine for 5K and than bought property on the river and now 14years later still chillen and no renting
So glad to hear you were planning on redoing a lot of it anyways, sad to see the damage though. I am looking forward to future videos.
Yea that’s what I kept telling myself, we were remodeling anyways…. And it was only a $1 😂
Wow! That's the first time I've ever seen that done! I'm UK, so no surprise lol. Well done! I look forward to your next videos, with yourselves and Bart, works manager haha. 😁
AWESOMESAUCE...Looking forward to your next vid...
God is so Amazing!!! All I can say is WOW! New subscriber great video.thanks for sharing. Blessings 🙏🏽😇
Thats great..now the move oh boy..dismantal deck..big job ahead
Looks about right for yall. $1 and 12 kids later, yall will have a high quality youtube channel followed by a CYS vist. Good luck cousins.
That was a juggling act moving that thing for sure. But in the end, completely worth the effort. Im looking forward to seeing your renovation process. And end results. I think it will be Amazing. Nice score for 1 dollar. Super cool 😎 👍👍
New subscriber. Looking forward to your future vids.
That wood stove is worth more than 1$
It’s a nice pellet stove. Should keep us warm this winter
It looks like a wreck holy moly
Poor doggy
He’s ok
Lot of work but great deal. Surprised those living room mirrors did not crack during the move. We couldn't place that here in my city. Mobile homes need to be 2006 or newer to place on a lot. Unless it stays in the original lot, then gets grandfathered in and can repo it on site. Size matters also, looks pretty big so that one may have met the minimum here. Used to own the biggest single wide they made. Most people thought it was a double. Still, besides the master, bedrooms were kinda small. Yours look decent. Good luck.
11:24 insert Homer Simpson saying/yelling "BART!" ...that is such a doggy behaviour to lay in the most inconvenient and or dangerous place possible... Edit also 16:27- 16:29 ish that heh heh has the same energy as Ralph wiggum saying "i am in danger"
You so remind me of a friend that we had that could do anything. I moved (with help) a trailer years ago, but it was much smaller than yours. It was scary.
Love Bart ❤🐶 and I hope your going to video fixing up the mobile home 😁
I am, few more days and I’ll drop another video of the progress
this literally makes me want to cry. the house ive lived in the llast 7 years is 1/3rd this size and in SUCH WORSE shape. but the cheapest houses we can find are wayyy outside our budget. you either know the right people, or you hit the jackpot
I am impressed that you got that manufactured home exactly where you wanted it to go..you will be replacing them anyways so no problem...
the drywall
Wow, you should have taken the refrigerator and stove out first, the heavy things.
I have just subscribed to your channel I love watching these renovation I think your lucky I know there's a ton of work but if you can do most of the work I imagine you will have a fab home wishing you a.l the luck from Scunthorpe England xx
Never seen a single wide........that wide, and that is very long, looks over 60 ft. in length. Damn, you did it, congratulations ! I could Live there, what a View.
14’x66’ thanks
I paid $24,000 for mine bran new and that was 1993 .It's not a bad looking Mobile home .
I've been moving trailers all my life and I've never done nothing like that before. I could have moved that trailer with no problem down to where it was going, I seen, which I had to go through and I could have done that down too. There was no problem, not even got it stuck once I.
Dang I shoulda hired you!
Looking forward to seeing more content on your salvage of the old trailer queen 😉
Great video. Been there and done that twice now. It isn't easy but it is sooooo worth it.
With your home set so close to the trees as our both have been in the PNW trees everywhere in the forest area. Suggest you think about anything that could come down and hit the home and perhaps remove it. We have been here 50 years and one did come down on our first single wide and totally compressed the top plate and roof. Fixed it , not too bad of a job.
You have an open book there so don't short yourself, sit down with pad and paper as you have so many options of building on building out etc etc......endless and you have the space. I think you will do a great job and It will be fun to watch your progress!
Best of luck and enjoy. Do it right the first time and try not to skimp if you can and you will have one heck of a solid building. If you build a deck at a later date do NOT attach it to the home proper....but it up close as if you attach it, it will settle through the years and start to work the weight of the deck onto your home floor where attached. I am loving the idea of getting to watch your journey....best of luck. Looks like a lot of work but a lot of fun too.........Bravo for that find!!!
Thanks for the info! Yes we were planning on doing a deck that’s not attached but really close. For that reason
Perfect!!! Ours is 12 x 63 feet long, lots of deck but it's our entertainment place and our garden area in containers as the deer eat the garden otherwise. LOL Ours is trex deck and nothing to sand from splintering and it looks brand new after 13 years. Scrubs up clean and tidy with the pressure washer. Excited to see what you come up with......exciting times, don't get discouraged with this project....it's huge but it's worth it in the long run!!! Happy 4th of July!! Also making it close but not attached leaves any water seeping off the deck rather than having moisture and leaves etc. stack up against the side of the deck and mobile........you're on it! Happy for you all!
Sounds like you know what you're doing. 👍🏼👋🏼
A dollar is a good start well done
You're not wrong for buying this trailer
That's a really good sized living space. I think you guys got a great deal even after all the exrta work and expense.
I agree, for what it is it’s going to work well
@@koacresA $15 rivet gun and a drill will fix up those alumuminum corner walls like new too. If you've never used a rivet gun before they are super easy and you can get them in a craft store. Just put little beads of silicone around the rivets to waterproof it.
You did get your dollars worth. It isn't near as bad as I thought it would be before we went in. Looks like it can be something good.
Stay tuned
Just added your Channel to my other Favorites to Watch...!
Looking forward to Learning more from You...! 😊
A house is a house till you make it a home.😊
I love to see renovations looking forward to the end result new subscriber ❤❤❤❤
I plan on doing this in South CO so i can love off the grid with my kids
So does that come with the property or did you pay 75,000 for the property and one dollar for the trailer?
Oh no, I bought raw land last year, 7.4 acres.
Love your project!
Congratulations on your new place 🎉
right on bro.. thatr will make a good home when you done i bet....
You needed a small cat! Very expensive fiasco! Showing us the cracks, look down the pretzil of a frame!
The sheet metal is worth more than a dollar and frame 😊 theirs value in it❤.
New subscriber here! After watching what you all had to go through getting her there, I gotta!!! That had me on pins n needles,lol, but im sure you guys felt that in real life! Beautiful place, cant wait to see what all you do!!!👍
It was an eventful day for sure! Thanks
Wonderful! So happy for you! Great deal!
Wish I could buy an RV for $1000 as long as I'm off the streets
Who or what sells a house for one dollar ?
It is still true~ "you get just what you paid for".
Yes get what you pay for
Should have hired a better transport company they would have got the trailer off the pad and pushed it down that road
I could’ve but they were months out and twice the price. Had to do it
Bart is beautiful!
Im just in shock man
Only one available, we had a deadline so no choice
1 Dollar 🏠👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Greetings from Brandenburg 🇩🇪
What a deal!! I would love this!!
That should be condemned and torn down, you gonna try and move it 😂 free aint always free
We didn’t just try, we did it
Looking forward to see How is going, good work😊❤ 19:34
I would buy it too.
best wishes
Great job and loved the video 😘👍🏻💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
