Where in country are 5-15 year old singlewides cheap?

[Greg Purvis]

I am in the market for used smaller singlewide or perhaps park model home/s in decent condition, fixers ok, under 15-20 years old, cheap, to be moved off site. Can be in park-(not always allowed to move), sitting on dealer lot, or on private land. Temporary worker housing situations etc seem like an ideal candidate for what I am searching for.

I have looked into quotes for transport and even a 1500-2000 mile move might make sense given the prices of the lower end mobile home market in the Northwest & on most of the West coast. (This has to do with housing availability and prices of anything lower end in general on the market here).

I've talked to a lot of the regional dealers & mobile home lots, etc, and for anything "newer" worth fixing up, they always want too much- it would typically make more sense to go with a budget new singlewide than to pay the price they are asking for the (equivalent) used ones. 

The strategy of talking to movers, park managers, etc & scouring Facebook marketplace (craigslist use seems to be dying off) locally could / does eventually pay off, but again I am wondering if I can find better deals by broadening my search.

I wonder if anyone has insight as to where in the country real deals (sub 10k? 15k? Etc) might be able to be found regularly on "newer" used mobIle homes, or sites/auctions/etc where park closing or temporary housing get listed.

Thanks for your input

@Greg Purvis When buying used mobile homes, it's best to go local. Start with your own area and go from there. The mobile home dealerships and parks are people to talk with. They deal with people selling used mobile homes all the time. You'll need to establish relationships in order to get the best deals for the long term. Good luck!
