Is it thread consensus that a purchase in a mobile home complex is a dumb poo poo move, even if it's possibly more affordable than anything else (even after space rental), including condos/townhomes in the same area.

The investors are snapping them up en masse and jacking up the lot rent with the explicit intent of evicting tenants and seizing their homes, which they can then rent out. https://www.penncapital-star.com/dc-bureau/pa-man-says-mobile-home-residents-are-sitting-on-a-time-bomb-in-red-hot-housing-market/

Incredible, thank you. Love to see the Dems fighting back with..... 60 day notices? I'm in commie kkkalifornia so we have slightly better renter protections but not enough to make me feel comfortable.

PoundSand posted:It is a college town and on the boarder with another college town in Moscow, nothing fancy there but there’s some decent bars/restaurants and it’s pretty bikeable/walkable. I dunno where you’d really have a job if not at one of the two universities but if you can work remotely there are worse places to live. Schweitzer Engineering (SEL) is a major employer here too.

MickeyFinn posted:The good news is they have lower pay scales for people working remote, so you can continue to marvel at the price of housing from Minnesota. If you are a professor, Stanford will kick in a bunch of money and/or sell you one of their properties. yeah I'm remote in MN it's just funny

When I was looking, anything in a complex was either 55+ or meth central or almost as expensive as a house. It may be just fine as long as the complex doesn't sell out, or otherwise jack up rates to insane degrees.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:in nyc there's a contract with almost every real estate transaction. hence the attorney. nyc is just weird because of how much money is there and almost everyone who is rich enough to live there but isn't independently wealthy work in some professional services capacity. NYC is also the only place in the us that it is routine for renters to pay 10-15% upfront of the total annual lease to a rental broker who is the only person legally allowed to show the property

Contingent for nearly a half million  I am no structural engineer but my understanding is that those plates are for keeping the brick facade of your building from falling off

They’re used to rectify bowing walls so the brick had already started separating at some point. https://inspectapedia.com/structure/Brick_Wall_Repairs.php Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud has issued a correction as of 04:10 on Jun 1, 2023 |

Incorrect, it’s a retrofitted reinforcement to protect against shear forces from seismic or high wind events. If the wall was bowing it would have to be rebuilt, a couple of dinky metal plates and rebar wouldn’t hold it together

There was a big to-do a few years back here about using the same exact plates to rein in bowing on a community center building

I think some higher-end complexes will have their own guys to show the units, but for normal people you absolutely will be paying the $2k to the rear end in a top hat who unlocks the door for you.

Developers here are taking those small city houses and combining them to make more money  Two small 1890s rowhouses combined into one "luxury" home   So you can't even buy a small city house anymore.

sonatinas posted:I’m guessing the white families send their kids to private of school of choice? or they move, I went and saw a bunch of city rowhouses earlier in the year and almost every single one that was on the market belonged to a young family with kids approaching school age. The minute it involves their kids they forget how much they love the city and move to the good (white) districts and people here act like you're committing child abuse if your kids aren't going to North Allegheny, Fox Chapel, or Mt. Lebanon.
