Granted, the hustle can't be as perfect with houses as it is cars, because the design of the house is not dictated by the home warranty people, as the design of the car is dictated by the same people who sell you manufacturer's service, but that's how it works.

It depends what manufacturer you use.

For example, there are areas of SD where you can find a completely updated or new 3+ bedroom manufactured for $150,000 in a zip code where HUD will pay you $4,500+ a month GUARANTEED.

Hi guys. What are your experiences with having  a mobile home? Are they worth it/profitable? Key thins? K

If rent to own or seller financing in your area with stick built homes have the same deposits and monthly payments, no reason one would want to purchase a manufactured home that loses value over time.

Most manufacturers will work well for that application but there are standards for each model which usually can be found online that will show what the exact recommendations and limitations are. 

Our joists were engineered in Iowa, so we had our contractor send in pictures to the manufacturer to see how it would get fixed.

Seems like the average cost would be about $600 per year and might save some time / headache in repairing or replacing some of the older appliances and especially with some of the older systems.American Home Shield actually let's me select which appliance to cover, so that if I update a kitchen and put in new stainless appliances (with manufacturer warranties), I can take those off the list at AHS and my rate comes down.Or is it better to let the appliance break down, replace them with new ones, and then go with the manufacturer's warranty?

Areas like Vegas (gambling), Florida (tourism), and Detroit (manufacturing) fared the worst in the last recession, and I predict will do the same in the next one.
