We have been using Clayton for the majority of our new home infill. However, we are looking at purchasing a park in a cheaper market and it got us thinking about what is the most budget friendly home builder out there?
If you have any insight on Legacy, Champion, Skyline, etc I would be very interested.
We will have approximately 75 vacancies across our communities if we follow through with this purchase so we would like to establish a strong relationship with a builder.
Depends on location. Northeast for us it is Titan (champion)
Skyline has some cheap homes but you. Get what you pay for
I used Legacy for most of the infill in my park and I would NEVER use them again. I have one TRU home and have had no issues with that home at all. I am looking for a few more homes also.
I see that most of your parks are in Iowa. I wouldn’t buy new. Rather, have someone print out a bunch of flyers and go around dropping them off at all the parks owned by the large players who have raised their rates above fair market. Get conversations going with homeowners to buy their homes for cash or on good seller financing terms and then pull them out of those parks. Some of these vultures need to learn a good lesson, otherwise they’re bound to kill the golden goose.
