Mobile home park residents are facing mass evictions as investors buy up their parks across the U.S. These individuals in Phoneix own their mobile homes but could still be forced to abandon them for little to no compensation. In many cases, there are no affordable housing options left and many residents fear being forced into homelessness.

  • I tell everyone that wants to buy a Mobile home NEVER BUY one from a mobile home park. Instead find a piece land then but your mobile home . This so sad.
  • As a realtor in my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
  • The current rent / housing situation in the US is a societal blight.

    My mom got very lucky in the same situation, because her property was bought out by the port of Seattle in 2007. They paid her replacement cost, and for moving costs and other expenses. She paid 27,000 for her 1982 double wide, and the port paid her over 80,000. We moved down to Portland. We did buy another manufactured home, but much newer, a 1998 double wide on its own lot/property. Mom put 1/2 the cost down, and consequently, the mortgage is just a little over 700.00. My mom passed in 2014, and I am eternally grateful to her for leaving me my lovely home. I live here with my son, who is 38, and autistic. I will leave the house to him, by then it will be paid off. As I said, I'm so grateful.
  • Whoever buys the park should be forced to purchase every trailer at market value or dont buy them.
  • 83 years old and he's being pushed out his home?? God please help us seniors 😨😢😥😥
  • To call someone trash or undesirable just because they live a certain way is probably one of the most inhumane things you can do. No human is trash just because they're poor.

    Corporations should not have their hands in Residential housing! This will eventually concern us all!
  • @Teddy31976
    Yup. My friend was evicted from her trailer and it couldn't be moved because of the age so she became homeless.😢

    I feel especially sorry for the seniors. Younger people can bounce back from things but seniors can't. This man broke my heart ❤️. At his age what can he do
  • I've always thought there was something fundamentally wrong with the way trailer parks are set up. Why "buy" the trailer if the actual owner of the land sets the terms of your land rental and that can change at any time? it makes no sense at all to "buy" a trailer unless you also OWN the land it's sitting on. I looked into buying one when I was 20 years old and quickly realized living in a trailer park was a seriously bad idea. Buy a minivan or RV, then rent a space to park it. The ability to leave at any time gives you way more leverage with the land owner.

    People on here passing judgment are a joke. I own my own home outright but i don't go looking down on others. Everyone has different circumstances and you have no clue what these people have been through. Do not judge. People only judge so they can feel better about doing nothing. In Canada new owners of trailer parks are restricted in how much they can raise pad rentals and must compensate residents if they sell. A friend of my husband's bought a mobile home for 60K, built onto it and received over 300K when the park sold. Contact your politicians and demand protection against predatory owners. Corporations are buying up all the land and jacking up rents.

    It is very inhumane and sad to treat people like that. 😔 😟 😢
  • Buying a home and paying lot rent in perpetuity is a huge financial mistake!!!!!!!!!
  • Bad news: you can “own” a paid off, traditional-build home and be evicted for as little as a few thousand dollars of delinquent property taxes.
  • @boxerchick702
    It’s sad, but “owning” a mobile home isn’t real ownership.. if you don’t own the land, you essentially own a useless box.
