Michelle (or anyone)-I was presented with a manufactured home on land to purchase as a rental here in southern california.

Warren Buffet owns 15 of the manufacturing plants and 3 of the major loan companies that hold loans against just the mobile home without any land attached.

I did similar to what Sue Copening did, I bought a manufactured home including the deeded property for a couple there in Florida that rented from me for 2 years.

Double wides never had wheels and are on cement block foundations so can be argued they are manufactured homes, not mentoined in Dodd Frank like mobile homes are (specificaly called out as out lawed for owners to finance just like Builders can no longer finance their spec homes) so we can do 3 financings per year per person using a Licensed Mortgage Originator and qualifying to 43% DTI etc all mentioned in Dodd Frank.  

I have an offer on 2008 manufactured home (3 bed, 2 bath) on .27 acres.

Part of the problem is the whole manufactured housing industry is a niche industry, and the volume of prospective buyers for anything is far lower than what one would expect in the mass market, so the need to charge more per customer is greater.If I were qualified to write a book on buying and owning apartment complexes - which I am not - I might expect to sell 50,000 copies.

I spoke with a homeowner that is selling her mobile/manufacture home.

With the increased issues relating to Fair Housing, it becomes even more important as almost every set of park rules and leases need revising in order to protect the community in certain issues related to Fair Housing and SACRA.The Iowa Manufactured Housing Association is planning to tackle this issue yet this year as the fines, penalties, and lawsuits against manufactured housing land lease communities continue to mount.

When I sold them (I'm carrying the financing on all of them), I used a MLO, who also is a Manufactured Home dealer to work up the note and transact the sale.
