Buying new mobile homes

[Jon Klaus]

 I’ve got some land parcels that I am considering putting new mobile homes on and selling them.  Any good sources to purchase new homes at wholesale?  What should I expect to pay for new Doublewide’s in the 2000 square-foot range?

 Why not deal with the manufacturers direct?

Your question of price is difficult because you have not addressed the quality of homes you want to buy, or, where you plan to place them. There are wind zone standards that can make a big difference, as well as insulation and snow load zones.

Several years ago, I bought a number of Muti section homes from a high-end at over $100 K. About the same time friends of mine were buying multi sections from Clayton for under $40K. It sort of depends on what kind of home your market research indicates you should be handling. 

FYI: There are at least three manufacturers building HUD homes that routinely end up retailing for well over $300K.
