All this 12 wide issue talk is interesting, however, a 12 wide trailer cost at least $40,000.00 and the average selling price of properties with trailers is much less then that. Anyone who is considering their property at LA an investment is sadly mistaken. These are RV which depreciates as rapidly as an automobile. Don't get me wrong, I love LA and always will but as far as an investment I have never considered getting back what I have put into my place. So before you consider spending a lot of money on a new 12 wide trailer remember it is for enjoyment not investment.

I am sorry to hear that I guess I wont make my millions and be the new donald trump of trailer parks I was looking forward to being on jerry springer
ReplyDeleteGood point. I didn't buy property to make a monetary winfall but invested in a place that will be fun for the family but that won't continue if the appeal is gone if old, rusted and abandon trailers increase. People selling their lots with a trailer can't even get back the money they paid for their lot 10 years ago which may not be the case at some other communities. My neighbor said she would give her lot away for free just to get rid of the dues and taxes and it's still on the for sale by owner list. I know I'm not going to make money when I try to sell my lot, my thought is I don't want any abandon trailers in my neighborhood so I don't have to consider selling sooner than planned. We need new housing whether it be 12' wides or 8.5' wides but I hear many are waiting for 12' wides and the longer they wait the older and less appealing the neighborhoods appear to prospective buyers. In looking at new trailers the cost of a tipout was only slightly less than a 12' wide. Right now the dealers have a lot of '07 and '08 stock of 12' wides and are offering good discounts on them while the 8.5' still have to be special ordered at full price. The park models do depreciate quickly but for about the same money you get a better built home. If you check the specs of 8.5 vs a 12' you'd notice just about everything is upgraded on the 12'er making it more energy efficient for both heating and air conditioning.
