Jesus, mobile homes for half a million

Traditionally, living in a mobile home has meant renting space for it. In exclusive beachfront parks such as Paradise Cove in Malibu, used mobile homes sell for as much as $650,000. But those price tags cover only the coach and the right to lease the space. An owner still has to pay rent, which can be as much as $2,000 a month.




These are like $50k (brand new, used are about 5-30k) in the midwest and lot rent is $119. What the fuck?

Some of them must have household incomes of 130k or more to live in these trailor parks. You can get a 4000 sq foot 6 bedroom w/indoor pool in the midwest for less than these trailor parks are going for.

Believe it or not, there are 2 bedrooms, 2 baths trailers (not even double wides) going for $400K out here in South Florida. And - get this - they are about 25 miles from the beach and civilization (amenities). It is all snowbirds that are buying this. Fucking weird.

There are mobile home parks throughout L.A. They're the only affordable homes.
