I tell everyone that wants to buy a Mobile home NEVER BUY one from a mobile home park. Instead find a piece land then but your mobile home . This so sad.
The waiting list is very long for senior housing. Also not cheap they charge you on how much you get from social security.Every year they raise your rent.
People on here passing judgment are a joke. I own my own home outright but i don't go looking down on others. Everyone has different circumstances and you have no clue what these people have been through. Do not judge. People only judge so they can feel better about doing nothing. In Canada new owners of trailer parks are restricted in how much they can raise pad rentals and must compensate residents if they sell. A friend of my husband's bought a mobile home for 60K, built onto it and received over 300K when the park sold. Contact your politicians and demand protection against predatory owners. Corporations are buying up all the land and jacking up rents.
This is the wonderful democracy for you, the same democratic government of the USA who is busily spending billions of taxpayers monies, yearly, to wage war on other countries to change from communism, billions more on the '''war on drugs'' yet cannot build low income housing for the working poor
@@derrickraccoon7370-- I lived in Jamaica for a number of years, they have a wonderful system dating from 1976. Every working adult pays 2% of gross salary, into the National Housing Trust. The government matches this by 3%. This 5% is used to build Low Income Housing for poor people. If you are not eligible for a house, being you have one already, then you start receiving your refund annually, with interest, after 10 years. In Jamaica, no homelessness. The Trust started with less than 1 million employees. Census is now almost 4 million. Additionally, they offer Build on Your Own Land, Home Improvement Loans, Starter Homes for the very poor, who are given a box-like structure, to complete as they can afford. This is easily done, as many better off people put doors, sinks windows etc., when renovating. A down payment is made, then monthly mortgage in relation to their salary. Just think what over 200 million employed US citizens could accomplish, with a system like this.
To call someone trash or undesirable just because they live a certain way is probably one of the most inhumane things you can do. No human is trash just because they're poor.
They are poor due to life choice: Having kids at a young age without good income. Being a “single” mom on welfare, etc, etc. Not saving for their future. How many of them are on welfare, WIC, Medicaid??
@@aydinl5757OH SO PEOPLE MADE A POOR LIFE CHOICE IF THEIR SPOUSE WALKS OUT ON THEM OR CHEATS ON THEM AFTER 12 YRS..and then abuses them when found out...and the other place you can afford without being homeless is a mobile home....after 12 YEARS OF MARRIAGE...it was a poor life choice for being married that long...and he damages you beyond repair after 12 years... THAT'S NOT THE WIFE WHO IS ABUSED AND NEGLECTED FAULT
I've always thought there was something fundamentally wrong with the way trailer parks are set up. Why "buy" the trailer if the actual owner of the land sets the terms of your land rental and that can change at any time? it makes no sense at all to "buy" a trailer unless you also OWN the land it's sitting on. I looked into buying one when I was 20 years old and quickly realized living in a trailer park was a seriously bad idea. Buy a minivan or RV, then rent a space to park it. The ability to leave at any time gives you way more leverage with the land owner.
Tooo Right! here in OZ we call RV's "Moterhomes", in Sydney NSW where I allso lived in my Moterhome on the streets, amazing the amount of people doing the same, don't notice that untill one lives in one, good life, like gypsy's we'd look after each other's back, one get's to know others, become friends and bonus, any money comes your way, goes into your own pocket, not some greedy A-hole's pocket, like yourself, I see those type of dwellings advertised but wouldn't buy one in a fit.
@@Codi892 My beat up ol' moterhome which I curse the day I got rid of it, was AUD $ 1,400 good ol' van built tough! heavy on fuel but one could live in it and in a strong squally wind, just turn her tail into the wind and she'll just rock you to sleep.
I sort of feel the same way, living in a house. My home is paid off, but, if I do not pay taxes, I lose my house. But, I agree with what you say. I realized that when my found someone giving away a mobile home and took it... then... one thing after another, she finally gave it away too.
dont buy a trailer park on land that isnt yours. pretty easy unless you dont understand the consequences. educate your self. other wise go ahead buy a trailer in a trailer park.
My mom got very lucky in the same situation, because her property was bought out by the port of Seattle in 2007. They paid her replacement cost, and for moving costs and other expenses. She paid 27,000 for her 1982 double wide, and the port paid her over 80,000. We moved down to Portland. We did buy another manufactured home, but much newer, a 1998 double wide on its own lot/property. Mom put 1/2 the cost down, and consequently, the mortgage is just a little over 700.00. My mom passed in 2014, and I am eternally grateful to her for leaving me my lovely home. I live here with my son, who is 38, and autistic. I will leave the house to him, by then it will be paid off. As I said, I'm so grateful.
Your mom got lucky and made the right decision the second time because if you don't own the land, then you don't have security in a mobile home, unless your mobile home ACTUALLY moves
ugh and now im in tears. only those who have experienced the uncertainty of not knowing where you are gonna go with your kids knows how heartbreaking this is. may GOD see us all through these situations.
I feel especially sorry for the seniors. Younger people can bounce back from things but seniors can't. This man broke my heart ❤️. At his age what can he do
@Miss F I don't empathize with perpetual victims. These women have had decades to develop a skill set. Instead, they chose to become generational Baby Mama's/Baby Grandmamas. They have the nerve to want a corporation to care about their kids, but not the father(s)? In addition to cheap lot rent, I'm quite sure these people have got welfare (or social security) for most, if not all, of their/their kids' lives. How much more do they think they're entitled to? 2nd Latino/as like this get on my nerves. The SW of the US doesn't belong to Mexico. English is this country's first language. Documents issued by a private company shouldn't have to be in Spanish to appease people that are lazy/unpatriotic to at least speak this lands language. 3rd. I don't like manipulative "parents." Just because you have kids it's not societies, job to take care of them. Having her overweight son speak on their behalf is wrong. Kids have no business in adult business. These women are used to using their kids as pawns to get what they want. I'm a 1980 girl, and as time marches on, people like me could care less about single mothers with kids. A lot of these women have r*ped the system long enough. That's why.
@@roshelltannen9698 actually you are 100 percent right. I was brought up poor and i was born in the 50s.. My mother did her best, my father was a drunk. We were catholic and no one ever divorced in our family. . I wanted kids but I knew that I couldn't give them a financially stable home. I wanted alot better than what I had for my kids. So I it ended up I didn't have any. I saw my mum work in a factory standing on hrr feet with swollen aching legs and feet trying to keep our home and food on the table. She took in borders. We where never on welfare. Back then it was really embarrassing. And I wasn't bringing kids up on welfare or seeing me always stressed for money. So I absolutely agree 100 percent with what you are saying
I understand the instinct to tell your patients to try not to stress but it also make very little sense. Stress has got to be one of the hardest things to control.

I live in a cooperative resident-owned community (ROC) in New Hampshire. Since 2010, the lot rent has gone down twice and has stayed steady at $365 a month for over a decade. No one is making a profit on that lot rent and everyone in the park has access to the financials that document how the lot rents are spent (taxes on the land, the water and sewer, trash pick up, road maintenance, etc.). I own my home and I own 1/100th of the entire park. New Hampshire developed the ROC model and the state helped out with the financing and guidance the residents needed to take the park from privately owned to resident-owned. The majority of parks in NH are now ROCs. No story on manufactured housing parks is complete without noting how successful NH has been in keeping this form of affordable housing truly affordable and its ownership stable.
The problem with this video as they stated is they want all the rentals out of the city center, it is prime real estate and they will buy it one way or another, sad to say these people are wasting their time, the big money can wait them out and just keep raising rent.

that seems extreme - the people who buy these mobile homes are adults - they know they are renting the land - they should be given a reasonable - maybe even a generous - amount of time - to move or sell their mobile home - realistically, if it can't be moved - it probably can't be sold either - unless the new park owner wants to buy it for some reason - sometimes space rents go up too high for current renter of the space - sometimes new park owner wants to be rid of the older models for safety and/or aesthetic reasons to update the park - it's definitely upsetting for people to move - but, life is change - nothing is permanent - older people or people with disabilities or language issues certainly need assistance - but, what happened to people relying on their families instead of the gubmint - and taxpayers & developers certainly shouldn't be constantly expected to pay for the decisions of short sighted people - maybe the amount of time given to sell the old mobile home could be based on how many years the person has been renting there - that way they're somewhat compensated for their rent loyalty to the park - similar if the mobile is too old to sell - the new owner might be involved in helping to pay for it's removal - which he'll have to do anyway because the people will ditch out & dump that cost on him no doubt - but, if there was a loyalty system in place - then maybe there would be less tension on that issue - but, ultimately, why on earth should the new owner be required to buy all the old worthless mobiles ???
Let me tell you about a very small Island in the Caribbean, called Jamaica. I lived there for over 15 years, and worked in the accounts dept., The country has a scheme called the National Housing Trust, started in 1976. Deductions of 2% of gross salary are made from every adult employee, which is matched by 3% by the government. This sum of 5% is used to build thousands of homes for the poor annually. If you are not eligible for a home, because you already own one, you start receiving your refund with interest yearly, after 10 years. A very good scheme
I have lived 6 months of every year for the last 15 years in Jamaica. Never heard of a homeowner being evicted for non payment of property taxes. The area where I live, is in front of the harbor. Many, many of my neighbors have not paid their property taxes for years. The tax amount for the house I live in is $12,500 JA, I guess, a little over US $100 every April. The government seems very lenient where property taxes are concerned, never even heard of a threat on the news
Mobile homes are actually evil. They tempt you with "affordable homes" then slowly bump up the cost. My boyfriend got suckered into one before we started dating. We were there one year before I convinced him to get out. By then, rent went up twice.

My son and I, along with my neighbors, are going through this right now. It's scary not knowing where we are going to end up. My neighbors have homes they can go to as their trailers are camps. But my son and I, this is our home, we have nowhere to go and I cannot not afford to rent an apartment. Very stressful and sad. I wish these people and all in this situation the best of luck.
Are you not able to have the trailer moved onto another piece of land or trailer park? Is there no others in the area or a piece of land to rent? In honesty I'm unaware of how things work in the US. In the UK land is at a premium and expensive, but there are still a number of fairly decently priced caravan parks that offer plots where you can live on. Although in some US States land is fairly cheap but I'm guessing in the better areas, its getting harder to find a trailer park as land gets snapped up by developers and going to another state could be hundreds of miles from where your friends or job is! Plus with a static home, you just can't pitch up and move, so need a lorry, which can costs thousands in transferring it onto another site. Anyway hope you find a solution to you and your son's housing issues.
Buy some land somewhere and then get a newer trailer yes you’ll have to struggle for a few years But during the struggle you’re going to know that you’re home and they can’t take it away from you nobody can once you own that trailer and that land you sitting on that is yours
This is exactly what I’m going through in Concord NC. I literally stay with my mom down the street but I own my home and the park owns the land that I lease they evicted me off the land but I can’t access the home. I have 3 small kids and this was the most hurtful thing in Oct.11th last year. I cried off this because I know exactly how this feels and I’m still dealing with it. They also leave you in a limbo even if you’re paying your mortgage. It’s like doomed if you don’t doomed if you do. This is gut wrenching still. I took this personal. Thank God for my mom and husband being able to go back and forth between hotels and here. I’m greatful
You still live with your mom with 3 kids? Where's your husband? You NC chicks are big on God/prayer, why don't you have a husband to help you? And please stop saying literally to empathize your point. You're using that word wrong. Y'all use Kardashian talk and wonder why your struggling in life.
GET A long long board and run it to your MH from you nearest neighbor and move your things out that way, don't put your feet on that lot.

Sadly you may be right. They actually regulate rents and so forth. Homelessness is increasing among the elderly due to their limited incomes and rising rents. Rents going up by $500. And more and more landlords are refusing Section 8 vouchers. Sad state of affairs in this country.
@@roshelltannen9698 Don’t presume to know what people know. To do so means you consider yourself an all knowing all seeing God - and because of your comment I assume you’re not.
But they can do that too with regular renters and even house owners if their governing body believes it’s land necessary for the greater good … like a highway. No one is safe in a capitalist society. Also, land can be considered useless in places like Flint, Michigan where the governing bodies actually poisoned the water. Who wants to buy that land? This situation is the “canary in the coal mine,” meaning, no matter how SAFE you thought you were … they may be coming for you next. No job, property or ANYTHING or ANYONE is safe or can feel safe in a capitalist system. The Jan. 6 insurrection were people who thought they’d be safe for the rest of their lives … but their jobs were shipped over seas (capitalism), no unions (capitalism), opioid epidemic (capitalist greed). The love of money is a highly addictive drug and it’s the ROOT of all that’s bad and awful in the world today.
Properties where people live should not be sold to investors who plan on uprooting them. There needs to be laws against those behaviors. The "richer" needs to stop abusing the "poorer", but rather help them, not hurt them.
We've been there, done that. We got forced out of our house from a person from California that bought the property. And we live in Idaho. We were forced to move because we couldn't afford to move our home which we had paid for years before. So we lost pretty much everything.
The three neighbors should all Rent one huge house and spilt the rent by three ways. God bless everyone that is struggling. I once was homeless at 14 years old and abandoned....it was the worst things I've experienced.
No,left homeless 50+ years and abandoned is the worst thing to experience young one. The situation is way more complicated than that, and we already have huge houses full of people paying rent. They're called ghettos and we have enough of those. I personally rather live in a nice quiet trailer park community than a ghetto any day.
I have never lived in a mobile home but I stayed in a apartment that was ran by slumlords. I lived there for 5 years. I was evicted and I 100% know how these people feel. It breaks my heart. My apartment was taken by a company out of New York who got their loan out of Dubai. It's a shame. Government doesnt care.

Government has no business in a contract between a landlord and a tenant. Is a business Iike any other. Look wha happened when they got involved, completely screwed landlords by forcing them to run their business without compensation. No other business had to. They all shut down. Meanwhile, landlords HAD to keep paying taxes, ins, upkeep and somehow rework mortgages while renters got off without paying a dime. Was that fair? No.

Our family is in a 2 bed 2 bath mobile home. Our landlords are honest people and they’ve owned the properties for years. Our home was built in 2017 so it’s newer, and the rent is very affordable. This is my worst nightmare 😢 Praying heavy for all these people affected!! It’s awful.

I've been looking to relocate but if i get a mobile home I will definitely need to own the land. Sad there are so many greedy people that don't care about all the hardships they inflict on others.
The reason why prices go up is because the government is allowing property owners to raise the prices with no rules or stipulations and they get greedy with no cap on rent numbers. This has to stop .
This exact situation happened to me in st Petersburg Florida... I bought a mobile when I 1st moved here in 2016. I paid cash for it, it was a 55+ development... developers bought the land & we had 6 months to lose it. In 2019 right before covid. It would have cost double to move it they wanted to cut my home in half without any insurance on how it got to the next location. It's been 3.5 years & I am still mentally going through it over the situation just as much as a financial burden since now rents are 4x what my rent for the lot was.
Nowadays there are 'investors' who will buy the park land for the residents and the residents form a coop to own the land and pay back the investors. It's a great thing and has been implemented all over the country.
@@sandrabentley8111 that's a great thing. At that time I knocked on every one of my neighbors doors to do a class action law suit to at least buy us some time or funds, not 1 person wanted to be involved.

I don't think I would at that age myself... so that's who they prey on
Sorry Jerry. The government has loans the investment companies can use to buy the parks, but doesn't loan when groups of owners want to own their park.
@sandrabentley8111 great thing? If the owners have first rights to bid on it and if they can afford to outbid the investor. Do you live in a mobile home park?

The american dream. i own a 50 year old mobile home (falling apart tin can). i dont even own the land it sits on. 1 in 20 live in a mobile home, dont know how many live in cars /vans, or on the street. THE AMERICAN DREAM
We live in a mobile home park in central FL the difference is we own the land as well but they are rare I think ours is the only one in our area like that
No one ever really owns their home they can be paid for but if you don’t pay the taxes or the space rent or something else that is associated with that particular structure you’ll find out who really owns it it’s not you!
In a modern country, NOBODY OWNS THEIR HOME! If you have to pay property tax to the government and they can eventually evict you if you stop paying taxes, then that basically means your government rents your home out to you, except you don't even get a landlord to fix your stuff. The land your house is on isn't yours, which means the house built on it isn't yours either! You'd have to go to some 3rd world place that's literally not on the map and maybe there you could live tax free.
I had to move to a mobile home in a park because my husband was dying of Alzheimer's and cancer... We needed a more user-friendly place to live to live. I've been here four years. I'm having nightmares about this. I still owe $70,000 on the house. And where do I go if somebody else buys the land and tells me I have to get out. There should be some kind of law prohibiting this.
We need to band together, put our money together, and buy these lands and keep them away from evil investors.. it should be criminal for someone to be evicted from a place they paid for. They need to be paid what they paid for the homes. Or no taxes
These companies should not be allowed to buy a mobile park and then use the land for a different purpose! This should be stipulated in local zoning laws! The local public officials s should have their feet held to the fire on these kind of travesties! And we wonder how people end up homeless?? 😡😡
"We need to band together, put our money together, and buy these lands" -Well then why haven't you done it? -In fact, if it's sooooooo easy why haven't you donut yourself? "keep them away from evil investors" -Dummy, if the "evil people" who originally invested in and created the trailer park in the first place... these people wouldn't have been able to live there DUH "it should be criminal for someone to be evicted from a place they paid for" -Except they didn't pay for it... they only rented it DUH "They need to be paid what they paid for the homes" -No one is stopping them from selling or moving their trailers off someone else's land and on to their own "Or no taxes" -Why shouldn't they have to pay taxes for the things they use?
The trailers are pretty much worthless. When you buy them without owning the land, you pretty much are setting yourself up for a bad situation. This is very misleading making it seem like these people are "home owners" when they are not. If you have to rent the land, you don't really own anything.
This is one reason why I never thought it was a good idea to buy a mobile home. I was afraid of this very problem happening, years ago, and here we are seeing it happen. It's sad.
@@VancouverCanucksRock Smart people can buy some land & put their mobile home on that. Getting land at a cheap price is hard now - but if you are willing to go to small, rural towns - you can find affordable land.
It’s just more ethical purchasing a home since it’s a fixed mortgage. Owning a mobile is like glorified rent and it goes up It’s no different then renting an apartment except some apartments pay their own utilities and maintenance.
I cannot believe I found this video. I'm from California, and I lived in a mobile home park for 15 years. I'm a single mom and I raised my sonthere. I owned my mobile home, I did all repairs and upkeep myself even though I am disabled. I had a beautiful yard that people came from all over town to see. It was a beautiful fairy garden. The guy who owned the mobile home park sold it to a guy in Los Angeles. At the time we paid $400 a month and I couldn't afford to pay anymore than that with utilities and phone. We had land lines back then. I couldn't afford a cellphone. One day I found an eviction notice on my front door. The reason for me and my son being evicted? Because my driveway wasn't swept. That's it. I had just successfully kept my mother from being evicted after she recieved a notice. Again it was for a made up reason. My mother had lived there for 34 years. I couldn't keep myself from being evicted. I think the reason was because of the new managers. I called the police when the woman and her kids tried repeatedly to steal my dog. They called the police on me saying that it was their dog but thankfully he was chipped and I had pictures from the first day I got him up to then. There were and still are a lot of immigrants living there, mostly illegal and making very little money. But that didn't stop the new owner from raising the space rent from $400 to $650. Most of the people that lived there couldn't afford that. And a lot of people were evicted for stupid reasons, slamming a door, tv too loud, work boots on front porches. It was ridiculous. We all recieved notices that the owner was going to fix up the trailer park and make it into a park like settling. That was 8 years ago and the last time I was in California I drove through the place and it is a bigger craphole than before. Now it's full of dirt heads and dope dealers. I'm sorry for what the people in Arizona went through. It is happening all over the country.
Generally, their strategy is to keep jacking up the lot rent, making hand over fist for as long as possible, until they reach a cutoff where nobody can afford the lot rent. Then they sell it to developers for another profit and the developers then bulldoze the place & build luxury homes. It’s all about the land, and the nicer the surrounding area is the more at risk the park is.
This is happening right now to us in Tampa Florida it is a nightmare we have lived here 16 years many of us are elderly and disabled retired and just wanna live our lives in peace new owners have came in and bought the property and throwing people out left and right homeless are everywhere .. those are are my friends and Neighbors..these people are monsters they only care about money , As a struggling single mom We don't know where we would go we would be homeless too just like everyone else. They are basically selling our homes out from in under us .ours is for sale now if someone buys it we're out just simple...homeless.. Meanwhile to make matters worse they raise our rent so we can't save any money and slapped us with all these fines and bills it's unimaginable chaos No wonder there is so much suicide I get it now.
We have a lot of mobile homes in Tampa. For many years, its been generally a rural city, but the county is trying very hard to gentrify it in favor of richer snowbirds and tech tourists... natives are being pushed out in favor of people from the West Coast ...
That happened to me in Canada, they sold the park and told us all to get out in a year, one guy was forced to upgrade his home by the park so he put 15g into upgrading then right after the company sold the park and he was still on hook for that loan but the home now it couldn't be moved and they just demolished it. We got nothing no monetary compensation for our troubles and the govt wouldnt even return our calls.
I’m a victim of Mobile Home University, R. Anderson. He does boot camps teaching people how to clear poor people out after rents and fees have eaten up their SSI and retirement checks. They had 20 rent paying tenants. Within three months there were only about three original tenants. There were five privately owned homes. They repoed their homes when they couldn’t afford the ridiculously inflated lot rents. It’s terrible.
Yea and then when more people are homeless or living in their cars if they have one the other residents will be bitching about it this is all about greed the rich making the middle and poor poorer
I don’t know why these communities don’t ban together open up a non profit society or corporation and purchase their own park so that each tenant has a equal owners share ownership. Using already due pad rents. Get a legal contract made with reasonable terms. Sometimes lower income families have tendency to be hoarders and that can attract rats to the park . They have to maintain rules like that and the committee would ban together . The able bodied residents would me responsible for grounds and such to keep cost down. I’ve seen some tiny home parks that operate like that on Church donated land . They own the tiny home and the park self manages. I’ve seen this done with a mill where the threat of sale the crew got together and bought out the company and any new hires pay into shares of the company in payments I think only one year. When a tenant feels more ownership than owners tend to have a different outlook on how they feel about where they live and conditions actually improve over time. Ideally you would go for the not for profit trustee over corporate because of the property tax advantages for non profit. They take time to establish so I have to do my research to see if you could transfer a Corp to non profit society? I know you can incorporate a non profit but not sure if you can take a corporation to non profit society? Need property lawyers on that one .
In America, you never actually own your home. Don’t pay property taxes? The government takes it. Government wants to put in a park or other public space? They use eminent domain.
I don't get why people 'buy' places where they don't own the land, you are essentially buying an RV that can't be moved from someone else's yard. This is better viewed as an elaborate scam, I think these people are just naive victims of greedy people.
Lessons to young people: Always read the contract like it was written by your enemy. Never assume your government will bail you out. Have a lifelong bugout plan.
This is so sad.I dream of buying a mobile home park.I would love to have ready made community who all know each other,have been there for years and likely to stay for life. I would love living there among my new "family".I pray for a miracle to buy one. Keep me in your prayers. If God grants my wish, whatever park I buy,rents will stay the same,we'll start a garden, a dog park area.a food and clothes exchange, and more. We will do it ourselves,no need to raise rent.

This happened in my city. Unfortunately at one time it was a trend for young people to buy mobile homes because they’d rent a lot and the communities were nice with kids of young couples newly weds starting out and land difficult to obtain. Too expensive. Now the trend is to buy out the parks to clean us out of the city. Where are we supposed to go?
There are cities with affordable homes that need a long work but are livable. Not in the Sunbelt however. I might be a good idea to look around because I don't think anything can be done about the situation you are in. Upgrades to the mobile would be like throwing good money after bad. The landlord can still evict you at any time.
People probably need to form collectives to get a BLM plot, but then they need to figure out some way to regularly bring water there and have sanitation services. (The cheapest ones are desert, but the geology often doesn't have much in the way of being able to drill a well.)
Don’t feel too sorry. Never get too comfortable despite the age. No one is exempt. Even home buyers. This maybe coming to a theater near you. For one thing…no one owns anything here on this globe. And these people who so called sold dreams of homeownership…knew this. Now…no matter what…they’re coming up with ways to foreclose just as well as evict.
I lived in a mobile home park with my paid off trailer for a few years. The thought always stayed in my mind that I was giving away money that I could be using to buy my own property. The owner of the park started getting stricker and sticker with us tenants. Like we were not allowed to have overnight guests. If a family member came from out of town to visit they couldn't stay overnight. They had to get a hotel room. My kids couldn't ride their bikes in the trailer park. They had to push them to the entrance and then ride from there. I couldn't work on my vehicle in the trailer park. The water pressure was horrible. At times the shower would only trickle water out. I understood the reasons behind his rules in place but eventually said why am I tolerating rules when I could be free of them 🤔. So I set out on a mission and took a ride outside of the city limits. I came across a lot that had no "for sale" sign up. I asked the neighbors who owned it. They didn't know because no one had lived on it since they had all been there. I went to the courthouse to see if I could find out who owned the lot. It belonged to the deceased father of a local judge. I went to talk to the judge. He and his siblings had forgotten about the one acre of land. As we talked he told us that we seemed like a good family and would like us to have it. Next thing I knew he was putting together the paperwork and sold me the acre for $2,500.00. It had no water meter. That cost me $500 to have installed. It had no electric pole. The neighbor gave me a spare one that he wasn't using. He was a hoarder 😂. So I got the electric pole up and the electric company connected to it. There was no septic tank. That cost me $1,600 to have one put it. I had some crushed rock road base brought in and put down for my driveway. That cost me $600. So for a total cost of $5,200 I had my own property that I could do as I pleased. I made this purchase at the age of 31 years old. I'm 61 now and haven't had to pay rent in 30 years. 😂. I have no idea what an acre of land like mine cost today and I so grateful I found my property at a young age. During the COVID-19 crisis I didn't have to worry about being evicted or the rent piling up.
This is happening everywhere! Not just trailer parks. People in my state had to evacuate whole buildings when they were sold to New Yorkers and investors from New Jersey. The whole PA state is doing this to the renters. These people can pick up and relocate their trailer home though. Dont pay the rent and use that money to relocate your mobile home.
This is so sad, it's a disgrace and so disgusting how these land owners not only make their money, but the abuse of their authority especially against the elderly on these mobile homes. God them.
CAN these people not read their mobile home CONTRACTS? The contract states that you DO NOT OWN THE LAND that your trailer sits on! PERIOD! But some people actually want to believe that they’re going to keep on paying $200-dollars a month for the rest of their lives, there something seriously wrong with their THINKING!
Have to agree 100%. Renting means just that, you are renting from an owner and subject to their lease terms. It is not a mortgage, you do not own it! And the irony in Arizona is that there's tons of endless amounts of desert property for super cheap that one can own and live on. Yet these boneheads don't want to bother, instead they want to blame everyone else for their problems. Meanwhile, many responsible folks are taking their time to read, study, and figure out how to survive on a budget. What an insult to these responsible individuals out there.
We literally got the news we're being evicted 2 days ago. My grandma works so hard getting very little sleep and pays all the bills on time. But they wanted us do to all these renovations we just couldn't do. I hope we'll be able to negotiate with the manager for the sake of my grandma, me, and my 3 other siblings. Just like they said in the video there are no other affordable places.
I’m so sorry you and your family are going through this. Please advice your grandma to look at some programs and other potential groups that could help in your area. Specially right now a lot of cities are still having special programs against evictions due to the pandemic. On a personal note, I understand growing in a highly stressful situation like this. I was in the same place growing up. But by concentrating on my personal plan and future now that I’m in my 30s I’ve been able to buy my own home, save for retirement and on my way to financial independence, help my mom with her own housing, help my siblings as needed and overall be able to be financially stable. No matter what, you have to help and protect yourself first in order to one day be able to help others. Good luck on everything. One day this will be just a bad memory.
In a world like this, we have no protections. It is akin to phk the poor, phk ‘em. I feel so sad that we can push someone who is 83 and has to leave their neighborhood.
I feel so sorry for uneducated investors. Mobile homes are the worst investment one can make. For the park owners, it is a license to steal. The rates always go up as the home value itself goes down. This is not a cheap way to live.
My trailer park friends were telling me how cheap it was in the early 90's. I looked into it being a HS dropout that barely made it out of general math. LoL The trailer living at that time was more then double my rent in an apartment. My apartment was only rent & electricity. The trailer park I would of had the trailer fee, the lot fee, water, garbage, gas, electricity & an extra fee to keep up the pool & playgrounds. Even I could figure out it was an awful investment 😆
@@royharper2003 I rented over 40 years. My husband passed in 2020 & I knew rents were only going up & mine was $1500. I definitely couldn't afford that on my Widows benefits. I just bought my first house a tiny bungalow at 61 years old in 2021. My mortgage is less then $400. It's all ready gone way up in value though I don't intend on moving. It's just nice to know so my children can sell it for more when I've passed on.
This is so sad. It should not be legal to make them leave. Greed is all this is about. People that have that kinda money to invest it should do so somewhere else, anywhere but here. And if your gonna buy it , don’t be evil. These are people’s lives we’re talking about. God please help them ❤
@@JohnBowl14690 Financially, it would probably be smarter to keep the park. If you had 100 mobile homes in your park at 500-600 dollars a month, you would probably be set for life. It's constant income, unlike a quick lump sum that you would get from selling the land.
@@JohnBowl14690 It's weird that you're so upset at my answer to your question about "What would you do with a trailer park you inherited if you really needed money"? Your reply back was really passive aggressive for such a basic response that I gave. Sorry if common sense seems condescending to you. Lol.
In the UK many people do not own the land their houses sit on, but your leasehold is fixed for a number of years and for a fixed price. You will find it almost impossible to get a mortgage on a house that has less than 75 years left on the lease. Recent legislation allows you to buy the freehold (the land your house sits on) or extend it to 999 years. There is a formula for working out how much it should cost.
@@dknowles60 So why are they paying $500 month rent? Someone is scamming these people! 1776? Really 🤣. You seem to be on the side of the royal crown. GIVE ME! GIVE ME!
It isn't that many.....A few......they are usually older properties built on or near church land ......Leasehold ....... Ive never known homeowners getting evicted when leases run out ......These houses are brick built usually terraced houses.....static home parks have strict rules too......they have a 25 year life.....you have to replace your static after that time .....its the rules.....to keep parks to a standard....
People do not move old trailers to another park. Parks only accept newer modular homes. Now parks will put new modular homes in these parks & sell them for over $200,000.00 + rent space over $1,000.00
This just happened to us at the turn of the year. Lived in our trailer for near a decade and had remodeled the interior etc and made it a decent place to live. At the beginning of January we got a packet with info saying the owners had sold the property to a company who was immediately raising the rent by $125 and to expect a handful of new additional bills i.e. water, plumbing, and trash which was all included before. And so the struggle begins... now I'm selling and looking elsewhere as the thought of them just being able to up and evict us for no reason or sell at any time in the future is ridiculous on top of the idea of paying like $500+/mo for literally a square of dirt..

We live in a mobile home community and we own our home. New people bought our park our lot rent is now $540 a month and these people are hard to deal with. I just want peace we are currently in a battle because they want us to cut our hitch off. My mobile home is a 1999 so not too terribly old I contacted the manufacturer about the hitch and they sent me a notarized letter in my favor not to remove the hitch. However the park doesn't care. I have until March to cut it or they won't let me sign a new lease I will be put on a month to month lease which is an extra $150 a month. Our central a/c has never worked we don't have a outside unit but we have a couple window units yea that's a problem to they want those removed as well. What I'm noticing is everyone that was here before this company bought the property has moved there's only me and one other family that's still here. As soon as people leave they tear down their homes and put brand new mobile homes in. The sad thing is non of the original homes were old and in disrepair. I'm so over it but rent right now is 1800 a month for a 2 bedroom where we live I can't afford that.

The way people and corporations invest in housing needs to be changed because this cannot continue. I think the housing crisis is the most important issue in the US right now.
The federal govt needs to step in and regulate these corporations where they cannot come in and just buy up mobile home parks with out providing vouchers and pay huge fees and additional taxes to have programs to relocated these people especially the elderly, veterans and the disabled. I bet ya they will start they own mobile home parks on undeveloped land somewhere or look some where else to invest this is a crime against the American people!

The lady in the beginning said "why should we go rent when we own our homes". She is right she owns her home but she does not own the land in which her home stands on. Its sad but its the truth. My mom is in a similar situation but she is working out a deal with the park owner to get hers sold to them. They are fixing up the mobile home park and will eventually raise the rent. It is not my moms primary home so she just wants to sell it, get something out of it and move on.
I managed one of these parks for a couple of months, until I figured out what the ‘company’ was doing. These people pay tens of thousands for these mobile homes, and then sign lease agreements that are subject to change when ‘renewal’ time arrives. This is a legal scam! It’s outrageous that no judge in our country has the courage to stay these evictions. That IS within their power!!!

The government matches this by 3%. This 5% is used to build Low Income Housing for poor people. If you are not eligible for a house, being you have one already, then you start receiving your refund annually, with interest, after 10 years. In Jamaica, no homelessness. The Trust started with less than 1 million employees. Census is now almost 4 million. Additionally, they offer Build on Your Own Land, Home Improvement Loans, Starter Homes for the very poor, who are given a box-like structure, to complete as they can afford. This is easily done, as many better off people put doors, sinks windows etc., when renovating. A down payment is made, then monthly mortgage in relation to their salary.

I've always thought there was something fundamentally wrong with the way trailer parks are set up. Why "buy" the trailer if the actual owner of the land sets the terms of your land rental and that can change at any time? it makes no sense at all to "buy" a trailer unless you also OWN the land it's sitting on. I looked into buying one when I was 20 years old and quickly realized living in a trailer park was a seriously bad idea. Buy a minivan or RV, then rent a space to park it. The ability to leave at any time gives you way more leverage with the land owner.
Tooo Right! here in OZ we call RV's "Moterhomes", in Sydney NSW where I allso lived in my Moterhome on the streets, amazing the amount of people doing the same, don't notice that untill one lives in one, good life, like gypsy's we'd look after each other's back, one get's to know others, become friends and bonus, any money comes your way, goes into your own pocket, not some greedy A-hole's pocket, like yourself, I see those type of dwellings advertised but wouldn't buy one in a fit.
Most trailer homes can be moved it just cost $5,000 to do so.

I sort of feel the same way, living in a house. My home is paid off, but, if I do not pay taxes, I lose my house. But, I agree with what you say. I realized that when my found someone giving away a mobile home and took it... then... one thing after another, she finally gave it away too.

My mom got very lucky in the same situation, because her property was bought out by the port of Seattle in 2007. They paid her replacement cost, and for moving costs and other expenses. She paid 27,000 for her 1982 double wide, and the port paid her over 80,000. We moved down to Portland. We did buy another manufactured home, but much newer, a 1998 double wide on its own lot/property. Mom put 1/2 the cost down, and consequently, the mortgage is just a little over 700.00. My mom passed in 2014, and I am eternally grateful to her for leaving me my lovely home. I live here with my son, who is 38, and autistic. I will leave the house to him, by then it will be paid off. As I said, I'm so grateful.

I live in a cooperative resident-owned community (ROC) in New Hampshire. Since 2010, the lot rent has gone down twice and has stayed steady at $365 a month for over a decade. No one is making a profit on that lot rent and everyone in the park has access to the financials that document how the lot rents are spent (taxes on the land, the water and sewer, trash pick up, road maintenance, etc.). I own my home and I own 1/100th of the entire park. New Hampshire developed the ROC model and the state helped out with the financing and guidance the residents needed to take the park from privately owned to resident-owned. The majority of parks in NH are now ROCs. No story on manufactured housing parks is complete without noting how successful NH has been in keeping this form of affordable housing truly affordable and its ownership stable.

that seems extreme - the people who buy these mobile homes are adults - they know they are renting the land - they should be given a reasonable - maybe even a generous - amount of time - to move or sell their mobile home - realistically, if it can't be moved - it probably can't be sold either - unless the new park owner wants to buy it for some reason - sometimes space rents go up too high for current renter of the space - sometimes new park owner wants to be rid of the older models for safety and/or aesthetic reasons to update the park - it's definitely upsetting for people to move - but, life is change - nothing is permanent - older people or people with disabilities or language issues certainly need assistance - but, what happened to people relying on their families instead of the gubmint - and taxpayers & developers certainly shouldn't be constantly expected to pay for the decisions of short sighted people - maybe the amount of time given to sell the old mobile home could be based on how many years the person has been renting there - that way they're somewhat compensated for their rent loyalty to the park - similar if the mobile is too old to sell - the new owner might be involved in helping to pay for it's removal - which he'll have to do anyway because the people will ditch out & dump that cost on him no doubt - but, if there was a loyalty system in place - then maybe there would be less tension on that issue - but, ultimately, why on earth should the new owner be required to buy all the old worthless mobiles ???
What’s the market rate for garbage?
Bad news: you can “own” a paid off, traditional-build home and be evicted for as little as a few thousand dollars of delinquent property taxes.
Let me tell you about a very small Island in the Caribbean, called Jamaica. I lived there for over 15 years, and worked in the accounts dept., The country has a scheme called the National Housing Trust, started in 1976. Deductions of 2% of gross salary are made from every adult employee, which is matched by 3% by the government. This sum of 5% is used to build thousands of homes for the poor annually. If you are not eligible for a home, because you already own one, you start receiving your refund with interest yearly, after 10 years. A very good scheme
I had a doctor tell me that, I said easy for you, to say, you ain't going through it.
@@jannettsnow You have lost me here Jannett, what did the doctor tell you?
I have lived 6 months of every year for the last 15 years in Jamaica. Never heard of a homeowner being evicted for non payment of property taxes. The area where I live, is in front of the harbor. Many, many of my neighbors have not paid their property taxes for years. The tax amount for the house I live in is $12,500 JA, I guess, a little over US $100 every April. The government seems very lenient where property taxes are concerned, never even heard of a threat on the news
@@deidradahl2802 omg that sounds like such a wonderful plan...america would never stand for helping someone like that sadly
Mobile homes are actually evil. They tempt you with "affordable homes" then slowly bump up the cost. My boyfriend got suckered into one before we started dating. We were there one year before I convinced him to get out. By then, rent went up twice.

My son and I, along with my neighbors, are going through this right now. It's scary not knowing where we are going to end up. My neighbors have homes they can go to as their trailers are camps. But my son and I, this is our home, we have nowhere to go and I cannot not afford to rent an apartment. Very stressful and sad. I wish these people and all in this situation the best of luck.
Are you not able to have the trailer moved onto another piece of land or trailer park? Is there no others in the area or a piece of land to rent? In honesty I'm unaware of how things work in the US. In the UK land is at a premium and expensive, but there are still a number of fairly decently priced caravan parks that offer plots where you can live on. Although in some US States land is fairly cheap but I'm guessing in the better areas, its getting harder to find a trailer park as land gets snapped up by developers and going to another state could be hundreds of miles from where your friends or job is! Plus with a static home, you just can't pitch up and move, so need a lorry, which can costs thousands in transferring it onto another site. Anyway hope you find a solution to you and your son's housing issues.
Buy some land somewhere and then get a newer trailer yes you’ll have to struggle for a few years But during the struggle you’re going to know that you’re home and they can’t take it away from you nobody can once you own that trailer and that land you sitting on that is yours
This is exactly what I’m going through in Concord NC. I literally stay with my mom down the street but I own my home and the park owns the land that I lease they evicted me off the land but I can’t access the home. I have 3 small kids and this was the most hurtful thing in Oct.11th last year. I cried off this because I know exactly how this feels and I’m still dealing with it. They also leave you in a limbo even if you’re paying your mortgage. It’s like doomed if you don’t doomed if you do. This is gut wrenching still. I took this personal. Thank God for my mom and husband being able to go back and forth between hotels and here. I’m greatful
You still live with your mom with 3 kids? Where's your husband? You NC chicks are big on God/prayer, why don't you have a husband to help you? And please stop saying literally to empathize your point. You're using that word wrong. Y'all use Kardashian talk and wonder why your struggling in life.
GET A long long board and run it to your MH from you nearest neighbor and move your things out that way, don't put your feet on that lot.

Maybe Canada or Mexico?
Agree! If you have the means, go check out other countries, you may be surprised.
Sadly you may be right. They actually regulate rents and so forth. Homelessness is increasing among the elderly due to their limited incomes and rising rents. Rents going up by $500. And more and more landlords are refusing Section 8 vouchers. Sad state of affairs in this country.
I'm not sure about Mexico, but the rents are much worse in Canada.
Most countries dont allow ex-pats to buy property but you can certainly rent!
The sad thing is that if you don't own the land they can evict at any time.
People who try and build their homes have found out this too.
They knew that when they bought their mobile homes. Mobile homes are only a good investment WHEN YOU OWN THE LAND.
@@roshelltannen9698 Don’t presume to know what people know. To do so means you consider yourself an all knowing all seeing God - and because of your comment I assume you’re not.
But they can do that too with regular renters and even house owners if their governing body believes it’s land necessary for the greater good … like a highway. No one is safe in a capitalist society.
Also, land can be considered useless in places like Flint, Michigan where the governing bodies actually poisoned the water. Who wants to buy that land?
This situation is the “canary in the coal mine,” meaning, no matter how SAFE you thought you were … they may be coming for you next. No job, property or ANYTHING or ANYONE is safe or can feel safe in a capitalist system.

Properties where people live should not be sold to investors who plan on uprooting them. There needs to be laws against those behaviors. The "richer" needs to stop abusing the "poorer", but rather help them, not hurt them.
We've been there, done that. We got forced out of our house from a person from California that bought the property. And we live in Idaho. We were forced to move because we couldn't afford to move our home which we had paid for years before. So we lost pretty much everything.

Save money because if anything happens to your landlords you will be moving too.
Buy a lot/ some land and move while you can, your landlord may be nice, but will not live forever. At that point, things will change.

The reason why prices go up is because the government is allowing property owners to raise the prices with no rules or stipulations and they get greedy with no cap on rent numbers. This has to stop .
This exact situation happened to me in st Petersburg Florida...
I bought a mobile when I 1st moved here in 2016. I paid cash for it, it was a 55+ development... developers bought the land & we had 6 months to lose it. In 2019 right before covid. It would have cost double to move it they wanted to cut my home in half without any insurance on how it got to the next location.
It's been 3.5 years & I am still mentally going through it over the situation just as much as a financial burden since now rents are 4x what my rent for the lot was.
Nowadays there are 'investors' who will buy the park land for the residents and the residents form a coop to own the land and pay back the investors. It's a great thing and has been implemented all over the country.
@@sandrabentley8111 that's a great thing.
At that time I knocked on every one of my neighbors doors to do a class action law suit to at least buy us some time or funds, not 1 person wanted to be involved. For the developers it's a easy win win. Elders & low income 😪
I was ready to fight for mine but I am not 75 or 85 yrs old either... I don't think I would at that age myself... so that's who they prey on
Sorry Jerry. The government has loans the investment companies can use to buy the parks, but doesn't loan when groups of owners want to own their park.
@sandrabentley8111 great thing? If the owners have first rights to bid on it and if they can afford to outbid the investor. Do you live in a mobile home park?

@@ChatBloom most of these ppl are elderly, kids grown up or have no kids at all or middle aged with no kids , don’t blame others actions on them , even if they “pop out kids they can’t afford” they own the house and pay the lot , mobile homes are cheaper investments for families who can’t afford homes with the increasing housing market across the most populated states in the U.S , yes it is greed , land of the free all right where you get ridiculed for owning a house when poor

You may own the home/trailer, but if you don't own the land it is on you are in no way guaranteed you can stay forever.
No one ever really owns their home they can be paid for but if you don’t pay the taxes or the space rent or something else that is associated with that particular structure you’ll find out who really owns it it’s not you!
Yes but paying a couple of thousand dollars in taxes yearly is better than paying a few thousand dollars of rent monthly.
Pretty stupid move to buy a house on land you don't own
In a modern country, NOBODY OWNS THEIR HOME! If you have to pay property tax to the government and they can eventually evict you if you stop paying taxes, then that basically means your government rents your home out to you, except you don't even get a landlord to fix your stuff. The land your house is on isn't yours, which means the house built on it isn't yours either! You'd have to go to some 3rd world place that's literally not on the map and maybe there you could live tax free.
I had to move to a mobile home in a park because my husband was dying of Alzheimer's and cancer... We needed a more user-friendly place to live to live. I've been here four years. I'm having nightmares about this. I still owe $70,000 on the house. And where do I go if somebody else buys the land and tells me I have to get out. There should be some kind of law prohibiting this.
You were foolish buying a $70,000 home on land you don't own.

I cannot believe I found this video. I'm from California, and I lived in a mobile home park for 15 years. I'm a single mom and I raised my sonthere. I owned my mobile home, I did all repairs and upkeep myself even though I am disabled. I had a beautiful yard that people came from all over town to see. It was a beautiful fairy garden. The guy who owned the mobile home park sold it to a guy in Los Angeles. At the time we paid $400 a month and I couldn't afford to pay anymore than that with utilities and phone. We had land lines back then. I couldn't afford a cellphone. One day I found an eviction notice on my front door. The reason for me and my son being evicted? Because my driveway wasn't swept. That's it. I had just successfully kept my mother from being evicted after she recieved a notice. Again it was for a made up reason. My mother had lived there for 34 years. I couldn't keep myself from being evicted. I think the reason was because of the new managers. I called the police when the woman and her kids tried repeatedly to steal my dog. They called the police on me saying that it was their dog but thankfully he was chipped and I had pictures from the first day I got him up to then. There were and still are a lot of immigrants living there, mostly illegal and making very little money. But that didn't stop the new owner from raising the space rent from $400 to $650. Most of the people that lived there couldn't afford that. And a lot of people were evicted for stupid reasons, slamming a door, tv too loud, work boots on front porches. It was ridiculous. We all recieved notices that the owner was going to fix up the trailer park and make it into a park like settling. That was 8 years ago and the last time I was in California I drove through the place and it is a bigger craphole than before. Now it's full of dirt heads and dope dealers. I'm sorry for what the people in Arizona went through. It is happening all over the country.
Now you non blacks know what gentrification feels like. Reap what you have sown. Capitalism 🤌🏾😆
Generally, their strategy is to keep jacking up the lot rent, making hand over fist for as long as possible, until they reach a cutoff where nobody can afford the lot rent. Then they sell it to developers for another profit and the developers then bulldoze the place & build luxury homes. It’s all about the land, and the nicer the surrounding area is the more at risk the park is.
This is happening right now to us in Tampa Florida it is a nightmare we have lived here 16 years many of us are elderly and disabled retired and just wanna live our lives in peace new owners have came in and bought the property and throwing people out left and right homeless are everywhere .. those are are my friends and Neighbors..these people are monsters they only care about money , As a struggling single mom We don't know where we would go we would be homeless too just like everyone else. They are basically selling our homes out from in under us .ours is for sale now if someone buys it we're out just simple...homeless.. Meanwhile to make matters worse they raise our rent so we can't save any money and slapped us with all these fines and bills it's unimaginable chaos No wonder there is so much suicide I get it now.
We have a lot of mobile homes in Tampa. For many years, its been generally a rural city, but the county is trying very hard to gentrify it in favor of richer snowbirds and tech tourists... natives are being pushed out in favor of people from the West Coast ...

Always a bad idea to buy a mobile home in a park .
This happened to us, we finally found somewhere to move right before Christmas. The park was in Michigan, we had to just walk away.
Sad times we are going thru
That happened to me in Canada, they sold the park and told us all to get out in a year, one guy was forced to upgrade his home by the park so he put 15g into upgrading then right after the company sold the park and he was still on hook for that loan but the home now it couldn't be moved and they just demolished it. We got nothing no monetary compensation for our troubles and the govt wouldnt even return our calls.

@@Delimon007 the fine print in the lease protects the owners, good luck
I’m a victim of Mobile Home University, R. Anderson. He does boot camps teaching people how to clear poor people out after rents and fees have eaten up their SSI and retirement checks. They had 20 rent paying tenants. Within three months there were only about three original tenants. There were five privately owned homes. They repoed their homes when they couldn’t afford the ridiculously inflated lot rents. It’s terrible.
At 4:30 she says they pay the property tax. Why doesn't the land owner they pay rental fees to pay this?
Maybe it's property tax on the value of her trailer. When I owned cars, I paid property taxes on them.

Yea and then when more people are homeless or living in their cars if they have one the other residents will be bitching about it this is all about greed the rich making the middle and poor poorer
It’s sad, but “owning” a mobile home isn’t real ownership.. if you don’t own the land, you essentially own a useless box.
I don’t know why these communities don’t ban together open up a non profit society or corporation and purchase their own park so that each tenant has a equal owners share ownership. Using already due pad rents. Get a legal contract made with reasonable terms. Sometimes lower income families have tendency to be hoarders and that can attract rats to the park . They have to maintain rules like that and the committee would ban together . The able bodied residents would me responsible for grounds and such to keep cost down. I’ve seen some tiny home parks that operate like that on Church donated land . They own the tiny home and the park self manages. I’ve seen this done with a mill where the threat of sale the crew got together and bought out the company and any new hires pay into shares of the company in payments I think only one year.
When a tenant feels more ownership than owners tend to have a different outlook on how they feel about where they live and conditions actually improve over time. Ideally you would go for the not for profit trustee over corporate because of the property tax advantages for non profit. They take time to establish so I have to do my research to see if you could transfer a Corp to non profit society? I know you can incorporate a non profit but not sure if you can take a corporation to non profit society? Need property lawyers on that one .

This is better viewed as an elaborate scam, I think these people are just naive victims of greedy people.
Lessons to young people: Always read the contract like it was written by your enemy. Never assume your government will bail you out. Have a lifelong bugout plan.
This is so sad.I dream of buying a mobile home park.I would love to have ready made community who all know each other,have been there for years and likely to stay for life.
I would love living there among my new "family".I pray for a miracle to buy one. Keep me in your prayers. If God grants my wish, whatever park I buy,rents will stay the same,we'll start a garden, a dog park area.a food and clothes exchange, and more.
We will do it ourselves,no need to raise rent.
PattiAnne what state are you in?
@@lindseyaucoin4798 in filthy,corrupt, crime and drug infested, saccharine city,New Jersey.I have been window shopping land at the bottom of Georgia and a few places in Eastern PA, lower down where it's not so cold as my older bones can't take the cold.I keep researching for the best semi rural areas where I can bring my rescue hospice pets and live in peace. So far, too many places with cattle next door or up the street, and hunting areas. I can't deal with hearing animals murdered. I will keep looking and praying. At least I will know what areas are normal by then, if my miracle is granted, I will know where to look to move.
@@pattiannepascualawww bless you. You are a good soul. I'm in the uk and looking for land in spain to one day relocate and have the same plan to save animals. Warmer weather is always better too. Im here in cold and expensive UK with my anxiety riddled german shepherd and 2 pet rats. God bless you and hope it all works out well for you and them beautiful souls x
I’m glad I never bought a mobile home. You have better protections in an apartment.
This happened in my city. Unfortunately at one time it was a trend for young people to buy mobile homes because they’d rent a lot and the communities were nice with kids of young couples newly weds starting out and land difficult to obtain. Too expensive. Now the trend is to buy out the parks to clean us out of the city. Where are we supposed to go?
There are cities with affordable homes that need a long work but are livable. Not in the Sunbelt however. I might be a good idea to look around because I don't think anything can be done about the situation you are in. Upgrades to the mobile would be like throwing good money after bad. The landlord can still evict you at any time.
I agree they can evict anytime or just keep raising rent.
People probably need to form collectives to get a BLM plot, but then they need to figure out some way to regularly bring water there and have sanitation services. (The cheapest ones are desert, but the geology often doesn't have much in the way of being able to drill a well.)
Some towns are buying up mobile home parks to keep it affordable for the people who live in the parks.
It was hard enough when I was young. I really feel for people trying to acquire a home these days who are just starting out or starting over.
Don’t feel too sorry. Never get too comfortable despite the age. No one is exempt. Even home buyers. This maybe coming to a theater near you. For one thing…no one owns anything here on this globe. And these people who so called sold dreams of homeownership…knew this. Now…no matter what…they’re coming up with ways to foreclose just as well as evict.
I lived in a mobile home park with my paid off trailer for a few years. The thought always stayed in my mind that I was giving away money that I could be using to buy my own property. The owner of the park started getting stricker and sticker with us tenants. Like we were not allowed to have overnight guests. If a family member came from out of town to visit they couldn't stay overnight. They had to get a hotel room. My kids couldn't ride their bikes in the trailer park. They had to push them to the entrance and then ride from there. I couldn't work on my vehicle in the trailer park. The water pressure was horrible. At times the shower would only trickle water out. I understood the reasons behind his rules in place but eventually said why am I tolerating rules when I could be free of them 🤔. So I set out on a mission and took a ride outside of the city limits. I came across a lot that had no "for sale" sign up. I asked the neighbors who owned it. They didn't know because no one had lived on it since they had all been there. I went to the courthouse to see if I could find out who owned the lot. It belonged to the deceased father of a local judge. I went to talk to the judge. He and his siblings had forgotten about the one acre of land. As we talked he told us that we seemed like a good family and would like us to have it. Next thing I knew he was putting together the paperwork and sold me the acre for $2,500.00. It had no water meter. That cost me $500 to have installed. It had no electric pole. The neighbor gave me a spare one that he wasn't using. He was a hoarder 😂. So I got the electric pole up and the electric company connected to it. There was no septic tank. That cost me $1,600 to have one put it. I had some crushed rock road base brought in and put down for my driveway. That cost me $600. So for a total cost of $5,200 I had my own property that I could do as I pleased. I made this purchase at the age of 31 years old. I'm 61 now and haven't had to pay rent in 30 years. 😂. I have no idea what an acre of land like mine cost today and I so grateful I found my property at a young age. During the COVID-19 crisis I didn't have to worry about being evicted or the rent piling up.
You are a lucky and smart man.
Just smart. Smart people make their own luck.
Congratulations, you've done well!
Did you get title insurance?
Very smart move 😊
This is happening everywhere! Not just trailer parks. People in my state had to evacuate whole buildings when they were sold to New Yorkers and investors from New Jersey. The whole PA state is doing this to the renters. These people can pick up and relocate their trailer home though. Dont pay the rent and use that money to relocate your mobile home.
Many mobile homes are to dilapidated to move and moving cost is also a factor.
Unfortunately there’s nowhere for them to move those mobile homes.
Most mobile home parks i have herad of closing in the phoenix area have given a 6 monthes to a years FREE rent while they move.
This is so sad, it's a disgrace and so
disgusting how these land owners not
only make their money, but the abuse
of their authority especially against the
elderly on these mobile homes. God
them.
CAN these people not read their mobile home CONTRACTS? The contract states that you DO NOT OWN THE LAND that your trailer sits on! PERIOD! But some people actually want to believe that they’re going to keep on paying $200-dollars a month for the rest of their lives, there something seriously wrong with their THINKING!
Have to agree 100%. Renting means just that, you are renting from an owner and subject to their lease terms. It is not a mortgage, you do not own it! And the irony in Arizona is that there's tons of endless amounts of desert property for super cheap that one can own and live on. Yet these boneheads don't want to bother, instead they want to blame everyone else for their problems. Meanwhile, many responsible folks are taking their time to read, study, and figure out how to survive on a budget. What an insult to these responsible individuals out there.
We literally got the news we're being evicted 2 days ago. My grandma works so hard getting very little sleep and pays all the bills on time. But they wanted us do to all these renovations we just couldn't do. I hope we'll be able to negotiate with the manager for the sake of my grandma, me, and my 3 other siblings. Just like they said in the video there are no other affordable places.
I hope everything works out for you guys,God bless
Where are your parents then? If you have 3 siblings then all of you have jobs right? Even something basic like a paper route.
I’m so sorry you and your family are going through this. Please advice your grandma to look at some programs and other potential groups that could help in your area. Specially right now a lot of cities are still having special programs against evictions due to the pandemic. On a personal note, I understand growing in a highly stressful situation like this. I was in the same place growing up. But by concentrating on my personal plan and future now that I’m in my 30s I’ve been able to buy my own home, save for retirement and on my way to financial independence, help my mom with her own housing, help my siblings as needed and overall be able to be financially stable. No matter what, you have to help and protect yourself first in order to one day be able to help others. Good luck on everything. One day this will be just a bad memory.
Please, please, please stop say literally to emphasize a point. Stop that Kardashian talk. It's stupid. Where are your parents, and how old are you?
If your grandmother is working so hard and paying all the bills on time then how are you being evicted?
In a world like this, we have no protections. It is akin to phk the poor, phk ‘em.
I feel so sad that we can push someone who is 83 and has to leave their neighborhood.
I feel so sorry for uneducated investors. Mobile homes are the worst investment one can make. For the park owners, it is a license to steal. The rates always go up as the home value itself goes down. This is not a cheap way to live.
It's not stealing, it's called investing in real estate
My trailer park friends were telling me how cheap it was in the early 90's. I looked into it being a HS dropout that barely made it out of general math. LoL
The trailer living at that time was more then double my rent in an apartment. My apartment was only rent & electricity. The trailer park I would of had the trailer fee, the lot fee, water, garbage, gas, electricity & an extra fee to keep up the pool & playgrounds.
Even I could figure out it was an awful investment 😆
@@royharper2003 I rented over 40 years. My husband passed in 2020 & I knew rents were only going up & mine was $1500. I definitely couldn't afford that on my Widows benefits.
I just bought my first house a tiny bungalow at 61 years old in 2021. My mortgage is less then $400. It's all ready gone way up in value though I don't intend on moving. It's just nice to know so my children can sell it for more when I've passed on.
@@annahgibbus8 Good for you. Where is the bungalow?
This is so sad. It should not be legal to make them leave. Greed is all this is about. People that have that kinda money to invest it should do so somewhere else, anywhere but here. And if your gonna buy it , don’t be evil. These are people’s lives we’re talking about. God please help them ❤
@@JohnBowl14690 It's 100% greed, this is happening to trailer parks all over the country. These investors are always looking for ways.
@@JohnBowl14690 Financially, it would probably be smarter to keep the park. If you had 100 mobile homes in your park at 500-600 dollars a month, you would probably be set for life. It's constant income, unlike a quick lump sum that you would get from selling the land.
@@JohnBowl14690 It's weird that you're so upset at my answer to your question about "What would you do with a trailer park you inherited if you really needed money"? Your reply back was really passive aggressive for such a basic response that I gave. Sorry if common sense seems condescending to you. Lol.
We must help these people.
In the UK many people do not own the land their houses sit on, but your leasehold is fixed for a number of years and for a fixed price. You will find it almost impossible to get a mortgage on a house that has less than 75 years left on the lease. Recent legislation allows you to buy the freehold (the land your house sits on) or extend it to 999 years. There is a formula for working out how much it should cost.
now i know why the Us had 7/4/1776
@@dknowles60 so they can throw people out of their homes?
@@oyaami1874 any place in the world can throw you out of your home if you dont pay property taxes
@@dknowles60
So why are they paying $500 month rent? Someone is scamming these people!
1776? Really 🤣. You seem to be on the side of the royal crown.
GIVE ME! GIVE ME!
It isn't that many.....A few......they are usually older properties built on or near church land ......Leasehold ....... Ive never known homeowners getting evicted when leases run out ......These houses are brick built usually terraced houses.....static home parks have strict rules too......they have a 25 year life.....you have to replace your static after that time .....its the rules.....to keep parks to a standard....
People do not move old trailers to another park. Parks only accept newer modular homes. Now parks will put new modular homes in these parks & sell them for over $200,000.00 + rent space over $1,000.00
This just happened to us at the turn of the year. Lived in our trailer for near a decade and had remodeled the interior etc and made it a decent place to live. At the beginning of January we got a packet with info saying the owners had sold the property to a company who was immediately raising the rent by $125 and to expect a handful of new additional bills i.e. water, plumbing, and trash which was all included before. And so the struggle begins... now I'm selling and looking elsewhere as the thought of them just being able to up and evict us for no reason or sell at any time in the future is ridiculous on top of the idea of paying like $500+/mo for literally a square of dirt..
You CHOSE to live there...stop complaining.
@@allengregory69 What other choice do poor people have? Is the government spending some of that wasted billions on the war '''on terror, and the drug war''' to build low income housing for working people in need?
@@allengregory69 as opposed to living on a street corner. Yes the chose to live there.
We live in a mobile home community and we own our home. New people bought our park our lot rent is now $540 a month and these people are hard to deal with. I just want peace we are currently in a battle because they want us to cut our hitch off. My mobile home is a 1999 so not too terribly old I contacted the manufacturer about the hitch and they sent me a notarized letter in my favor not to remove the hitch. However the park doesn't care. I have until March to cut it or they won't let me sign a new lease I will be put on a month to month lease which is an extra $150 a month. Our central a/c has never worked we don't have a outside unit but we have a couple window units yea that's a problem to they want those removed as well. What I'm noticing is everyone that was here before this company bought the property has moved there's only me and one other family that's still here. As soon as people leave they tear down their homes and put brand new mobile homes in. The sad thing is non of the original homes were old and in disrepair. I'm so over it but rent right now is 1800 a month for a 2 bedroom where we live I can't afford that.
@@allengregory69 I did. At a reasonable price initially. Cap gonna do what cap gonna do. Everything on the market whether rent or sale within the past two years has doubled in price for no reason beyond greed. I made a good profit on my stay I wouldn't say otherwise but the state of the market is unreasonable nevertheless. To say otherwise is nepotism at it's best one can assume from a comfortable position hmm?
The way people and corporations invest in housing needs to be changed because this cannot continue. I think the housing crisis is the most important issue in the US right now.
The federal govt needs to step in and regulate these corporations where they cannot come in and just buy up mobile home parks with out providing vouchers and pay huge fees and additional taxes to have programs to relocated these people especially the elderly, veterans and the disabled. I bet ya they will start they own mobile home parks on undeveloped land somewhere or look some where else to invest this is a crime against the American people!
This is so sad.. wish everyone had affordable housing.
Um, did she just blame someone for not providing her information in Spanish? That’s an assimilation issue. I can’t imagine moving to Mexico or China or Africa and demanding they serve me notices in my own preferred language. Where would that end? Everyone has to be served notices in every country in every language? This is a strange thought process.
The lady in the beginning said "why should we go rent when we own our homes". She is right she owns her home but she does not own the land in which her home stands on. Its sad but its the truth. My mom is in a similar situation but she is working out a deal with the park owner to get hers sold to them. They are fixing up the mobile home park and will eventually raise the rent. It is not my moms primary home so she just wants to sell it, get something out of it and move on.
I managed one of these parks for a couple of months, until I figured out what the ‘company’ was doing. These people pay tens of thousands for these mobile homes, and then sign lease agreements that are subject to change when ‘renewal’ time arrives. This is a legal scam! It’s outrageous that no judge in our country has the courage to stay these evictions. That IS within their power!!!
It’s not a scam. It’s a contract they agree to. They don’t have to agree with it.
