https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/18/modular-housing-a-century-old-sustainable-housing-idea-is-struggling.htmlI dont know why, but I sort of have a soft spot for this industry and think it's pretty cool. Like the old Sears mail order houses.
I heard modular homes are a lot better than they used to be too. And cheaper. I dont really want to wage slave for 30 years to pay my mortgage. If I didnt have to pay mortgage every month, Id be able to save money, build up my homestead, and maybe even take a much needed yearly vacation.
I trusted my dad and step mom because theyre wealthy and have a better understanding of this shit, so instead of a modular home, I built a 3 bed 2 bath starter home on my 3 acres for 200k with all of my 50k down. So making payments on the remaining 150k.
If not a modular home, I could have gotten a really nice double wide mobile home for like 60k.
I just wish I had made a different choice so that Id have more expendable income to save or invest.

Modular home I found "on sale" for 78k.
Needs 10k down for finance.
Needs 40k for install and pad.
Then I have to pay out of my pocket for power and septic on my land.
After it's all done and financed it still will end up costing me a 150-200k dollar mortgage.
So what I did was buy a camper trailer for 128 Dollars per month.

You can skip out on a lot of taxes, but they’ll come down like a ton of bricks on property. They never overlook it. You’re going to wind up homeless.

A dumb or negligent company might fall for this, a smart one won't even engage and they'll just begin invoking (keyword) their legal rights (eg: put a lien on the property-- and so on). I have a hard time believing a judge would accept this, however, given the absolute dogshit unqualified diversity judges we have nowadays-- you plausibly could convince one to rule in your favor. If you try this, I would make the argument a clear and concise as possible to a judge, because you'll only piss (a smarter) one off trying the 'word salad' approach that niggers defending themselves often do.
The only case I know of about something like this, paraphrasing because I heard the story so long ago. Is that a bank (i believe) was trying to collect some debt a guy owed them. The guy wrote a new contract (I don't know if very small print at the bottom/looney toons style was used) regarding the debt mailed it to them and got either a clerk or middle manager to actually sign the new contract. Obviously, it went to court after the bank realized their error and the jewdge sided with the bank that the new contract was null and void, despite it being signed. The judge's reasoning is that the bank did not fully understand the new contract and therefore would have not reasonably agreed to it-- as both parties in a contract have to be fully appraised of what they're signing off on. (extreme irony given the circus tier predatory student loans, mortgages, etc.. we have nowadays)
Anyway, let us know how this goes @Maskless, as for nothing else I'd just be curious as to how it ultimately went. Regardless, win or lose, the blood from a stone approach fucks ZOG, which is good for all of us. Goodluck mang.

The modular housing trend is exploding in very expensive areas. Build off site, install in a 10th of the time. No parking issues for weeks from workers, dust and noise. Additionally the efficiency and quality of the structure is so much better.

God doesn’t like trailers. You ever seen what happens when a tornado goes threw a trailer park?

Buying repo and remodeling to custom saved him $26k+ on the square footage rates in the area.

The old town area right near the rail line is full of these houses. My house was built around the same time but further out from there, thank god. They look nice when people take care of them.
Mobile homes tend to fall apart. Then again, modern home building is a shitshow as well. It all depends on who you get building it, and the choices in building materials they use.
