I’ve purchased several Tru Homes over the past few years. Good for the price. Bare bones product but they seem to move quickly in my parks. For some parks I own further from the Charlotte NC area, I have no choice but to fill empty lots with either used homes or Tru Homes because I can’t otherwise get the total rents high enough to have the tenant own a more expensive home in a reasonable time period. I just purchased a few homes from Legacy and they appear to be better built and nicer overall, but also $10k more expensive. I am putting those in my parks closer to Charlotte where I can charge higher rents.
Biggest problem with the Tru Homes is that almost without fail, they are delivered with 1/2 or more of the wall boards popped off the walls. Takes an experienced maintenance guy less than a day to repair and then you can’t tell, but it’s annoying. I learned the hard way it’s better not to vary exterior vinyl colors more than necessary because within 3 years there will be a hole somewhere in the vinyl on most of the homes (from rocks kicked up from mowing, etc.) Now I just have a supply of the vinyl from the company in my shop for repairs–all 4 colors. Ask them to deliver a few sticks of vinyl to keep under the home to make it easy to repair when that day comes.
I will continue to buy them…
