You could put a line in your lease about “the landlord understands the inconvenience of broken appliances and will attempt to repair them as quickly as is reasonably.”

This is important as you understand where you want to be.

That trend stopped after the 70's but manufactured housing was a major contributor towards creating stable affordable housing.If we want to tackle our housing shortage we need to get serious about it.Here is a quick summary of the HUD changes: HUD Actions for Manufactured Homes and Communities:HUD announces a comprehensive set of actions to increase availability and affordability of manufactured homes.These actions are part of the Biden-Harris Administration's Housing Supply Action Plan.Manufactured housing is a key component in the strategy to boost housing supply and reduce costs.Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE) Program:HUD launches the PRICE Program, a $225 million competitive grant opportunity.The program aims to preserve and revitalize manufactured housing and communities.Funding supports repairs, rehabilitation, replacement of units, infrastructure upgrades, and community resilience.Available to states, local jurisdictions, tribes, nonprofits, community development finance institutions, and other eligible entities.FHA Draft Policy for Manufactured Home Communities:FHA posts a draft policy to solicit public feedback.The policy aims to promote stability and affordability for individuals and families in existing manufactured home communities.Allows resident-owned cooperatives and mission-oriented borrowers to access FHA-insured financing for purchasing or refinancing.Updates to FHA's Title I Manufactured Home Loan Program:HUD announces updates to FHA's Title I Manufactured Home Loan Program.New methodologies for calculating loan limits to align with current market pricing.Expects the new loan limits to incentivize more lenders to participate and expand program usage by buyers of manufactured housing.Annual Recalculation of Title I Loan Program Limits:FHA will recalculate Title I loan limits annually to keep pace with home price changes over time.This ensures that the loan limits remain aligned with market conditions.Ginnie Mae's Title I Loan Securitization Program:Ginnie Mae takes steps to reinvigorate its Title I Loan Securitization program.Revisions to financial eligibility requirements for Title I Issuers to reduce barriers and increase lender participation.HUD's Ongoing Support for Manufactured Housing:These actions build on HUD's continuous efforts to support manufactured housing.Earlier actions include a proposed rule for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program emphasizing the needs of manufactured housing communities.Recent Updates to CDBG Notice:HUD updated the CDBG in Support of Housing Activities notice to allow the use of funds for acquisition of manufactured housing units, services to homeowners, and investments in infrastructure and resilience for manufactured housing communities.

It was free the first year (or not free since their poor service and my lack of understanding cost me my tenants), but I refuse to pay for them again. 

From what I understand, equity on a property is the amount of money a property is worth minus the amount of money owed on the mortgage on the property.At least one article has said that the principal remaining on the mortgage is the only component of the mortgage that is accounted for when determining the amount of money owed on the property’s mortgage when calculating the equity one has on a property.I am not sold on just factoring a mortgage’s principal into the amount owed on a mortgage because if interest is also owed on the mortgage for the property, the interest should be accounted for in determining the amount of money owed on a mortgage, correct?

Whether it's financing, finding the right property, understanding the market, overthinking the process, or something else, I am interested to hear your experiences and challenges.

I read about it but do not fully understand it yet.

I agree with Konstantin.I am not sure about CA laws (they are not very favorable to landlords from what I understand).

We don’t fully understand why it hasn't dropped more."
