MN STR Cabin Manufactured Home (Mobile)?

Hello BP!

I'm looking at getting a STR in northern MN (Brainard area or just North of there). There are several cabin options that are much cheaper because they are manufactured homes. Some after obviously a manufactured home and some you wouldn't be able to tell if you weren't familiar with them.

Does anyone have experience whether these would rent similar to other traditionally built cabins with similar beds/amenities? They are not in mobile home parks.

The only comparables I found in the forums were people over in the Carolina's, and they said they still worked.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks!

Richard

Also, My primary home is a manufactured home on a permanent concrete basement, so I'm familiar with them and can see this as being a niche for me.

    Thanks for that info @Patricia Taveras! I am running my numbers at 1/2 the rental cost AND occupancy that AirDNA lists for my area and I would still cover my costs and be able to use the place with my family, just in case the manufactured aspect demands a lower rental rate.
