In 1980 I paid $5,570 for my mobile home and one acre of land in the country. I still live in the same place today. I have kept up on all the maintenance throughout the years and everything works as it should 😊. If you do that math it averages out to be $10 a month I have paid to have a place to live so far 😊. No restrictions, no landlord asking for money, no one telling me what I can't do. I had no worries when COVID-19 hit on how I was going to pay rent or eviction. God forbid If anything ever happens to my trailer (fire or tornado) I have the acre of land to move a tiny home on it if I want as a backup plan.
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!
In fairness, this cost them a LOT more than $1. I think they will still be better off money wise than if they had built from scratch. Though, I suspect that this house will always have issues popping up... but what old house doesn't?
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!
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.
Agree. The one bad thing, however, is that this type of house probably will just go down in value over time. However, if they don't ever plan to move then it should work just fine for them.
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.
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.
@@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 🏊🎊
@truthteller9154 it depends where you live. But most likely you always have a landlord, whether its the bank, the city or a private landlord. The point was about finances, when renting you are always losing all of your money on rent. If you cant pay taxes any more you can still sell your land have capital left. When renting you will be booted out and have NO capital.
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 😊
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.
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
@@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.
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!
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 🍀!! 😊
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!
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,
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.
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!
Used mobile homes are not hard to find. What is hard to find is cheap land to put it on. Finding land that is not restricted against mobile homes is the hard part
What sort of personal protective wear is needed for this? Wouldn't there be gases you'd need to make sure you didn't breathe in? It sounds risky for a novice. I reckon you'd need a professional to do a job like this so they have all the right protective gear. Am I worrying too much?
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.
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...
It's not even that bad 😲 score. I see peeps selling gutted shacks asking multiple tens of thousands for them. I'll have to watch more to learn how your full adventure came to be with this house.
Yeah plus you either have to move it or it's on a rented lot. I always think to myself who's even buying that stuff? The not as struggling ppl hiking up rents? Or buying a forest for wever build? That's craaaaazzzyy! Ppl talking about ,"well in the 80s"... Yeah, well it was actually kind of the same some yrs back. Till COVID happened. But all those warnings, I thought yeah right! Same thought tho. Who even buys stuff like that? For that price? I guess at this pt., I guess it's a good thing I'm a single mom. .
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,
Nobody else could have bought that for a dollar and done anything with it like you did.. you were totally set up with all the equipment and knowledge to be able to move that thing.. congratulations
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 !
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. 😁
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 😎 👍👍
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!
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
When we were first married (57 yrs ago) we bought a house trailer. Paid more for it than you and it was smaller but we lived in it for 7 years and had 2 kids before we could afford a house. Great memories.
Obviously, the move is the expensive part but. . .you're homeowners for reasonable money. Congratulations. I've subscribed and excited to watch your adventure unfold.
I just started looking into mobile homes. While I don’t know much I wish you guys luck in getting it up to code. Whatever work it needs, getting it for $1 makes it waay worth it 💪🏻
Just discovered you guys today. Binge watched a load of episodes out of sync. Amazing work team. I am sure I would have been up for this 30 years ago. You guys are good. Bart is aersome too.
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!!!👍
I have had a few mobile homes moved in my time. Next time, put more support on it so you don't have so much movement. You got a great deal, and I'm sure you will make it a wonderful home.
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.
@@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.
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.
@jasonmax5759 Wow! You have no pride to make necessary improvements to get the most years out of your home 😐🤔? I bet your parents are proud to have a lazy son 😂
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.
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,
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!!!
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!
That wood stove is at least $2500 here in California so you got a good start right there,good luck,moving that beast required guts ,best wishes for your future !
@@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.

I would do this in a heartbeat (except I’m not talented but my son is.) I hope it’s a great home for them!
Thumbs down.
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

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
A dollar is a good start well done
Congratulations on your new place 🎉
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
Lovely doggo 😊 great helper
I have had a few mobile homes moved in my time. Next time, put more support on it so you don't have so much movement. You got a great deal, and I'm sure you will make it a wonderful home.
Wonderful! So happy for you! Great deal!
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 😂
God is so Amazing!!! All I can say is WOW! New subscriber great video.thanks for sharing. Blessings 🙏🏽😇
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.
I like the cereal bowl hot tub.
Love your project!
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.
Looking forward to seeing more content on your salvage of the old trailer queen 😉
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.
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
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!
@jasonmax5759 Wow! You have no pride to make necessary improvements to get the most years out of your home 😐🤔? I bet your parents are proud to have a lazy son 😂
Wow an amazing find
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.
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.
Would it be preferable for just to buy a new one. Cause you have a woranty.
We don’t have much money, but the way I build things, I am my own warranty
right on bro.. thatr will make a good home when you done i bet....
Even without the additions, you still got a hellofa bargain- goodonya!!
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.
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,
plexiglass is higher priced than glass these days
$1.00 and still looks this good JACK POT!!!!!!
I love to see renovations looking forward to the end result new subscriber ❤❤❤❤
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!
That wood stove is at least $2500 here in California so you got a good start right there,good luck,moving that beast required guts ,best wishes for your future !
Yup, just got the wood pellet stove fired up, still works good and heats the place nicely, I’ll show that in the next video I’m about to post
Not bad for a $1...!!!, God is good!!!only the moving expenses,do you have to move it?
Yes we paid a few grand to move it into place, still looking better on cash
New subscriber looking forward to watching you guys
A house is a house till you make it a home.😊
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
the wife and I have lived in an all original 1966 model singlewide for 9 years now. we feel your pain
Been living in our 1966 single wide too for 30 years.. 12 x 60.. a little cramped but almost zero value on the property taxes :)
What a deal!! I would love this!!
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.
I plan on doing this in South CO so i can love off the grid with my kids
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.
Great deal and job
I would buy it too.
best wishes
Great job and loved the video 😘👍🏻💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
What breed of doggy is Bart, i love him
Poodle, English shepherd mix
