🏡 Could Manufactured Homes Be an Affordable Housing Alternative?

I recently worked on two manufactured homes being purchased with FHA financing, and they’re a great reminder that buyers may have more options than they realize.

📍 Riverside
• 4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms
• Approx. 1,450 sq. ft.
• Huge 10,000 sq. ft. lot
• Completely remodeled
💰 Purchase price: $580,000

📍 Corona – 55+ Community
• 3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms
• Approx. 1,400 sq. ft.
• Approx. 3,500 sq. ft. lot
• Built in 2016
💰 Purchase price: $499,000

And here’s the important part: both are being financed with FHA loans.

With traditional home prices still challenging for many buyers, a manufactured home—especially one on its own land or in the right community—can be an alternative path to affordable homeownership.

As both an appraiser and real estate professional, I’m seeing buyers explore options they may not have considered before.

Don’t automatically rule out manufactured housing. It might be the opportunity your buyer has been looking for.

Have a buyer struggling to find something affordable? Let’s talk about the options.

We’re looking forward to many more face-to-face meetings, conversations, and collaborations at our new office.

🏡 MONDAY APPRAISAL MINUTE

From an appraiser’s standpoint, what improvements should you make BEFORE putting your home on the market?

In today’s more competitive market, homes are staying on the market longer and buyers have more choices. That means condition matters more than ever.

Not every improvement gives you a return. The key is knowing where to spend your money—and where NOT to spend it.

With over 30 years of appraisal experience, I look at homes every day and see firsthand which improvements can add value, improve marketability, and help a property stand out from the competition.

Before that FOR SALE sign goes up, let’s make sure your home is ready to compete.

🏠 Let’s make your property stand out.
💰 Let’s spend your improvement dollars wisely.
⚡ Let’s make your home a shoe-in to sell faster.

Thinking about selling? Message me before you start making improvements, and I’ll tell you what I would do from an appraiser’s standpoint.

🏡 FSBO — For Sale By Owner… Has My Opinion Changed?

A few years ago, I would tell homeowners: If you have the time, knowledge, and patience, selling your home yourself might be worth considering if you want to save a few bucks.

But today? My opinion has changed.

The market has changed. Homes are taking longer to sell, buyers have more choices, and prices are starting to teeter in some areas. Pricing, presentation, marketing, negotiation, and follow-up matter more than ever.

Right now, I believe having an experienced real estate professional in your corner can make a significant difference.

Someone who is out there 24/7, understands what buyers are doing, knows how to position and price your property, manages the showings, follows up with agents, negotiates on your behalf—and keeps random people from showing up at your house at all hours.

Saving a few dollars on commission doesn’t necessarily mean you’re saving money if your home sits too long or sells for less than it could have.

In this market, experience matters.

Thinking about selling? Before you decide to go FSBO, let’s talk. I’ll give you my opinion on pricing and strategy—and then you can decide what makes the most sense for you.

🏡 MONDAY APPRAISAL

I’m seeing more FHA appraisal assignments, which means it’s a good time for agents, buyers, and sellers to understand how an FHA appraisal differs from a conventional appraisal.

There are additional FHA property requirements and potential repair items that can impact the appraisal—and ultimately the transaction.

Knowing what to look for before the appraiser arrives can help prevent surprises and keep your transaction moving.

💰 DOES THIS ONE MAKE SENSE?

Here’s another potential flip in the South Coast Plaza / Metro area.

🏠 Purchase Price: $1,818,000
🔥 Multiple offers
🔨 Condition: Totally original — needs kitchen, baths, paint, flooring, windows, doors…the works.
💵 Fixed-up comps: Around $2,150,000

That gives us roughly $332,000 between the purchase price and potential resale value—and that’s BEFORE renovation costs, carrying costs, property taxes, commissions, escrow/title fees and financing.

The margins get tight pretty quickly.

Could there be money here? Maybe. But at $1.818M with multiple offers, I’d be very careful about chasing the deal and overpaying.

Would you do this one? 🤔
Flip it or PASS?

Sometimes the best investment is the one you don’t buy.

📲 Send me a property you’re considering and I’ll help you run the numbers.
