- A retired Sacramento resident is frustrated and confused as to why it’s taken nearly three years for her home to be built and has spent over $30K in unexpected costs
Thank you for exposing Statewide Mobile Home Sales for either not knowing what the heck they're doing, or just being crooks. She should sue them for reimbursement for every month after she purchased the home that she couldn't live in it plus attorney and court costs.
@@timtebowfan628 that’s terrible.
Sounds like it's the fault of the bureaucracy of HCD, not the mobile home manufacturer.
This is horrible so sorry this has happened to her. Contractors and builders can be such crooks. These people should be prosecuted!
$1000.00 a month to lease a space???? Worse than an HOA. NO WAY I WOULD EVER. Poor Stephanie. I wish she had gotten grief counseling and stayed in her home she shared with her late husband.
It's in California....$$$$
That’s what a lot of mobile home parks are charging. Becoming a problem for seniors 55 years and over
Mobile homes seem cheap until you look into space rentals
@@MarkBraggs Yep! That's why people should put them on their OWN land!
That’s why you want to buy the land the home sits on. There are parks where you buy the land and, in that, the HOAs are much lower. It pretty much boils down to how the property taxes are being paid, through you directly via your mortgage payment when you own the land, or through the HOA when a corp owns the land.
An the law protects CRIMINALS
This is ridiculous she needs to sue for millions.
I hope she Sues and wins Big Money. I have worked for mobile home factories for many years. Most anything to do with a mobile home is a scam.
Thats too bad bc with climate chg this could be the answer!
Yep that’s right especially when you have to pay rent on the land it sit on
Millions of people live in them. They all got scammed?
@@wanaraz either get scammed by mobile home park rules or setup, or the mobile home itself. These mobile homes nowadays are so overly expensive. I know what went into them and I would never ever pay that high dollar price. Mobile homes guaranteed to slowly start deteriorating throughout the years. And mobile homes do not go well together with children in the bathroom. Because water and mobile homes do not mix either. The list goes on. And there's not one out there worth $85,000 more or less
@@stevesloan56 How do you get scammed by mobile park rules or setup? Are they a secret? A mobile home comes with or you can buy a warranty right? You also have insurance right? Are people just too dumb to take care of themselves?
It’s sickening that ppl don’t do their jobs & don’t care！ The widow is not asking for sympathy or any special treatments, she just needs & asked for what she’s paid for. She does not deserve all that stress & financial loss.
Personally, I don't care that they don't care. But they need to do their jobs. Otherwise they need to be fired.
This is so wrong. She needs her home and she’s getting jacked around. Seniors need all the help for their living situation not the lack of care she is receiving !! Come on!!
I have heard many other stories similar to this one. It’s sad that our seniors are being scammed out of their money. Something must be done to protect them.
Totally unfair starting with the building company unprofessional and incomprensible ignorant of city or county policy to build . Hope she gets the help to fix this nightmare.
This is so wrong and it seems like the elderly are fair game for these hucksters and our local code and permitting and planning offices seem to support these scams
Why the heck did the company put the new house down in a foundation that was not the right size?!?!? They had to have gone to the property to make sure it was going to be ready to receive the house, foundation big enough. I would sue their pants off. Shame on them!
Shame on the builder for this woman's outcome!
She was trying to make an easy transition after the loss of her husband. This company not only added much stress, she has also lost considerable amount of money that could of made her life a little more comfortable. This company is liable for much more then correcting her home.
A nice person a friend and I met her at her friend's yard sale so sad and unfair I believe her to be a great person
Keep us posted
How is she ? 😢
This yard sale maybe 6+ months ago n I rvise nice person not needing great was perfect thanks for your comment and consideration
keep us posted , wishing her the best
This is so sad, please someone help her
As seniors we are often targets for the unscrupulous or uncaring sellers, vendors, and officials out there. Even when the sales team has been nice to you, I strongly suggest engaging the services of a real estate attorney in the purchase of any home, including mobile or manufactured homes. Most of the time home purchases are completed with few or just minor issues, but if things go sideways the nominal expense of having retained an attorney will prove to be money well spent.
Substandard! Aren’t there companies out there that do things right anymore? Seems unbelievable!
A disgrace to human kind.
6:51 they "lost money" on the project because they waited 2 years to finish everything and lumber prices went up beyond what was quoted 2 years ago.
I can't watch this, my head wants to explode from fury. California is just sick. Listen to that woman's voice.
I so agree. HCD doesn’t serve with any empathy. Not our problem. Zoom calls could have been used in lieu of counter services. Use your head HCD! Mobile Home builders shouldn’t be paid in full until everything is 100% correct. Very sorry she was taken advantage of.
This is so maddening! But it is not just California
What a terrible mess ! God Bless this lady , I hope she gets some much deserved restitution asap !! I would not want to live there after all of this turmoil.
I am so sorry you’re going through this Stephanie I really pray that you get what you deserve. I will sue everyone involved.
How do you know she is right?
Just heartbreaking.
They need to be put out of business . How dare they act like you're the victim .😡
I think you meant to write, "how dare they act like they are the victims"? 😊 I would agree, so sad to see these injustices get away with no penalties. Poor woman. 😟
I use to work in a permit center & mobile home permits were the easiest to process. Especially when it's already on an existing build able approved lot. I hope she is able to end this nightmare soon.
When a government entity that was designed to protect homeowners actually harms them by having burdensome regulations and non-responsive staff.
They should have been sued many times over
Some probono lawyers need to help. Thanks for reporting
It's somebody's else's fault NOT OURS; as we did what we were told to do!!
Man, I have got to use that line in my next coming customer service job interview!!
Just too sad
Right now the company says it repaired all the problems and it's ready for her to move in and they paid some of her back rent. They are waiting for her to sign the papers. I guess they were worried about a lawsuit and that might be in the papers that she cannot sue.
YEAH GO AHEAD AND BLAME IT ON THE HOMEOWNER..... BECAUSE SHE DEFINITELY IS AT FAULT FOR YALL BUILDING HER HOME WRONG...
SINCE SHE IS A BUILDER AND PROJECT MANAGER RIGHT????? OH... SHE ISN'T..... HMM... BUT YOU SAID IT WAS HER RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE SHE REPORTS IF HER STUFF IS BUILT WRONG. #SMHWP
Statewide lost money? Too fn bad, they can soak it up and write it off. They don't belong in the business if they can't make money during an alleged housing shortage. Also, I bet they SOLD the old house and pocketed that money, while charging the customer disposal fees.
‘State Laziness’ written all over this story.
Time to see who to vote out n get an attorney
Who cares if Statewide has loss money 💰 too! That should’ve even come out of theirs mouths. 🙄 Where is the empathy?
She should have stayed in her paid off home. This is ridiculous
She could have taken the money and did a total remodel...
In hindsight she probably wishes she would have. She made this decision because she was distraught over losing her husband.
She said that,it was too painful to live in that home after the death of her husband.
Honestly, this is why every home I've lived in has been an existing structure on whatever spot it's located on. You avoid nightmares like what this poor woman has been going through.
Govt bureaucracy at its finest. This poor woman has been through so much and they can't lift a finger to help for all the red tape. HCD and the home builder should be sued for her 39k plus damages.
They lost money due to their own incompetence. I hope she sues and wins.
Will she get her deposit back? This is discrimination
I'm only seeing African Americans going through this. so sad. I hope she has a case with this.
*Occupy, refuse to move out, and make it their problem.*
I nearly was in this position ...luck..no God changed circumstances so i didnt go through with selling my house due to similar red tape delays and council increasing costly demands that keep appearing. In the end i gave up...something that was quoted as $20000 was blowing out to over $90000 with no end in sight.
Another thing is mobile home parks are a scam. If you don't own the land underneath you, you are always in limbo. They can raise the rent and make you move.
Inteligenge high on both sedes...plus the company is a robber
First thing never build a house on some one else’s property or land
Government employees could not care less.
😥makes me tired and I'm 36.
What is this program ?
Statewide Mobile Home Sales must right this wrong. This is a tragedy.
Ridiculous.
Woooooooooooooow! She should file a complaint with the BBB! That way no else can be burned by this company! She should also contact, the states Attorney General on this, and housing in Washington! Tired of hearing people being taken for a ride! So sad!
Poor lady. This lady didn’t know any better to stay away from manufactured housing. From poor construction to poorly used materials in construction, the problem goes on and on. There’s a lot of glue being used to make manufactured houses that it is not healthy to live in one.
okay abc give us an update please
.ugh..it kills me that this woman got screwed
SO Sad...
This is wrong in so many ways. 🙏🙏🙏
Companies in America are something else....smh
So HCD California Department of Housing & Community Development
. is there to help comsumers? Oversee situations like this? Terrible situation.
What a nightmare for this poor woman. It is just too risky buying a home to be completed. These home builders don't seam to care leaving the homeowners to fight the battle. And good luck taking these people to court which costs a fortune because lawyers don't care either while they too drain bank accounts.
This is terrible just looked @there site yesterday we surely won't be using them & I hope she gets some resolution 😭😭😭😭
Sue HCD. The Health Order had ended. There was no reason for them to keep their counter closed.
She is an elderly and should NOT have gone through so much stress.
That’s Horrible how she was given such a run around 😡😡😡😡
This is disgusting!! State farm and housing are so neglect. I feel for this woman
You should have gone down to the city and ask for the builders from the builders stuff the person that comes out to inspect you have to call that person and ask Wiz to permit they will tell you if there's one or not the city should have one also in their files and if they don't have it that's a lawsuit
So sad.
They should be sued out of business
She should have stayed in her old house and got a new man......smh............ GRIM
It’s not HCD that’s at fault. It’s clearly Statewide.
Why would yiu edit the ending that way ? That's just ridiculous
This is dreadful.
Tiny home and she could purchase her lot in a community in Texas. Mobile home community isn’t what it used to be. The company lost money due to their incompetence, do things half way it’ll cost you. I hope she gets this resolved such a shame
Taking advantage of the lady . Right from the start
She needs to sue
How is any of this fiasco the fault of the homeowner Stephanie. She’s not a builder. She just expected you idiots to do your job! She needs to sue for back pay. These idiots are going to sit around and let this poor lady be penniless!
I want to sell my house and buy a new house but reason and scams like this is why I am going to stay in house I own and payed for because contractors will screw you over just like a auto mechanic
her lease for the land is $1,000 a month. that should be the only red flag she needed. in Texas she could own a decent property with that much.
I hope she sues them
Why didn’t she just move into one that was already built? F the dumb stuff.
Apparently these days it is no guarantee that the property will be built and
ready to move into.
How sad, someone should have helped her.
That’s sad they got her money and just disappeared on her that’s crazy
Where was your attorney?🤔
I don't know what went wrong here. Did she hire a contractor? Is the contractor responsible for reading the plans and permits? Is she responsible for the builder and the permits because you can be your own contractor in California. Is the builder of the home responsible for the contractor? Did the proper foundation plans get delivered. She needs a real estate lawyer now and if they are at fault sue for lawyer fees and all the money you are out and pain and suffering.
This wasn't even worth it. I hope they at least reimburse her for what she lost.
They should've lost money and paid out of pocket cost for her...
I wouldn't want to live in Limbo either. Too many Limbs.
Unacceptable, This is Americas greed at its best SMDH
She should of got an @Boxable and had less trouble!
The problem isn’t what she bought it is with the agency she has to work with.
3 to 4 year wait for a boxable
Petty officials
This woman would have been better off moving to Mexico and renting a studio apartment for just a few hundred dollars.
You gotta love the "Permiting Process" in California.
sell up and leave ca
@@nicholasthompson7690 thinking about it... not gonna lie man.
They took advantage of this sista her tragedy and her sweet heart. If God allowed it, I’d love to be the one who punished them for her but that’s not my job.
Okay I see, well she should have looked at multiple properties in the park and pick the
one that is acceptable for her taste to move into, don’t settle for garbage. She didn’t
realize what she was getting into when having something like that setup. Lord have mercy.
I’m just saying, she should have known better.
It could have been no other available units. The issue was not about her taste but it wasn’t fit to live in and was told this was the cheaper option. She was conned but let’s not be judgmental about what she should have known.
Too STRESSFUL to even finish watching this video... SMH!!!
#Corporations #Governments #PatriarchySystem
Why sell your house without ensuring you have secured another house without issues (in general, mobile homes are never a good choice). While it is understandable wanting a new start after a death/loss which I experienced myself but I would never sell my house because of it, especially in the current housing market.
No one wants to do there job.
