Berkshire Hathaway owns almost 100% of the manufactured homes production and sales. You are not competing with Warren Buffet. Nor his predatory lending practices. https://www.wnyc.org/story/warren-buffets-mobile-home-industry-traps-poor-people-predatory-loans/

Every business has it own set of figures. My lease and your lease and John Doe’s lease are not the same. My labor costs in my area of the country are different….. my workman’s comp rate in my state is not the same in your state and both are different from John Doe’s. I choose not to spend $$$ on advertising but you spend $$$$$$$$$$ on advertising……if you are trying to figure out the profit the industry as a whole makes on a manufactured home so you can negotiate a better price, good luck.

Is it wrong for a car industry researcher to go on on a car forum asking for real experience of drivers of those cars? Is it wrong for a fashion retailer researcher to ask real customer's experience wearing those clothes? Is it wrong to ask what people's taste preferences for a certain brand of food is when doing a research on a food brand? So why is it wrong tapping into real world knowledge of buyers of manufacturing homes when doing reserach on manufacturing homes?

I see mobile home financing rate around 7-8% on certain websites... but I doubt people actually pay these rates given additional addons and whatnot...

By the way, if you have verified sources on cost components on manufacturing housing... please point to them.. I'd be glad to also refer to those sources as well... they are not easy to find...

This is not a manufactured home forum.

This is a forum and there is specifically a tag called Manufactured Homes when labelling what this content/post pertains to...
