"Jim," wrote in message ... wrote: wrote: All this mobile home stuff is extremely amusing. It says a lot about the people who make fun of mobile home living and mobile home dwellers. Specifically: For the majority of Americans, the only six-figure asset they own or will ever own is the building they live in. They laugh and scratch with glee as "sold" signs pop up throughout their neighborhoods and go to great lengths to confirm the rumors about the latest astronomical selling prices. In many middle class communities, "equities" now approach 7-figures. One small problem: If the only thing of any real value you own is your house- you don't really own anything. You have to sell your house to get the money, and if you sell you will have to buy another that is equally overpriced and tie your money up again. Yipping and clapping over the value of your home merely shows that you don't mind paying high taxes and that you don't understand the nature of wealth. Of course you can always free up your money by passing away. You will no longer need a building to live in and your heirs will thank your very much..... But don't take too long to die, as you may be required to sell that house and spend nearly all of the proceeds on your medical care to become impoverished enough for free health care. (In that case, your heirs might sneak into the nursing home and pull the plug before you completely drain the well). Etiher that, or you could sell and move to a mobile home. :-) Oh, I know a few people who are quite content to not invest all of their equity into a home. One for instance, lives on Lake Lanier in an old house boat he bought for $20k. But, you must understand the likes of JimH, Fritz, Smithers, and now NOYB has stooped to their low level. Apparently they have such low self esteem, that they must constantly perpetuate lies about other people, in order to feel like they are worth something to society. Might be time to point out that my cousin paid $300,000 for a triple wide (on his own land) in CA about a year ago. They don't call them trailers there, but when they come in sections on a truck...... I saw on the Travel Channel where some mobile homes in California overlooking the Pacific were selling for $800k to a couple of million. But we're talking about Snellville, GA...not California. |

Why are you talking about Snellville, GA? And, did you know that there are more mobile homes in Collier County, FL, than in DeKalb County, GA? |
