Download or read book Mobile Home written by Megan Harlan and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uprooting ourselves and putting down roots elsewhere has become second nature. Americans are among the most mobile people on the planet, moving house an average of nine times in adulthood. Mobile Home explores one family’s extreme and often international version of this common experience. Inspired by Megan Harlan’s globe-wandering childhood—during which she lived in seventeen homes across four continents, ranging in location from the Alaskan tundra to a Colombian jungle, a posh flat in London to a doublewide trailer near the Arabian Gulf—Mobile Home maps the emotional structures and metaphysical geographies of home. In ten interconnected essays, Harlan examines cultural histories that include Bedouin nomadic traditions and modern life in wheeled mobile homes, the psychology of motels and suburban tract housing, and the lived meanings within the built landscapes of Manhattan, Stonehenge, and the Winchester Mystery House. More personally, she traces the family histories that drove her parents to seek so many new horizons—and how those places shaped her upbringing. Her mother viewed houses as a kind of large-scale plastic art ever in need of renovating, while her father was a natural adventurer and loved nothing more than to travel, choosing a life of flight that also helped to mask his addiction to alcohol. These familial experiences color Harlan’s current journey as a mother attempting to shape a flourishing, rooted world for her son. Her memoir in essays skillfully explores the flexible, continually inventive natures of place, family, and home.

Download or read book Wheel Estate written by Allan D. Wallis and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1997-06-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and informative history of the mobile home in the United States over six decades—extensively illustrated with period photographs and vivid portraits of the people who live in mobile homes and the industry pioneers who designed and built them. In Wheel Estate, Allan Wallis offers a lively and informative history of the mobile home in the United States over six decades. His colorful account, extensively illustrated with period photographs and vivid portraits of the people who live in mobile homes and the industry pioneers who designed and built them, will inform and amuse anyone curious about this American phenomenon. Beginning with the travel trailers of the late 1920s and 1930s—with models that were built like yachts or unfolded like Polaroid cameras—Wallis moves through the World War II era, when the industry mushroomed as trailers became homes for thousands of defense workers, to the post war era, when trailers became year-round housing. The industry responded with new models—now called mobile homes—that tried to strike a balance between house and vehicle, even as owners built their own often fanciful additions (including one mobile home complete with Egyptian pylons). Carrying the story up to the present, Wallis links the need for mobile homes to continuing housing crises. He traces regulations and reforms aimed at "linear living," arguing in the end that manufactured housing remains distinctively American and embodies fundamental national ideas of home and community.

Book excerpt: The mobile home park industry might be the last thing you ever thought of investing in. It likely wasn't even on your investment radar until the last couple of years. The MHP niche is one of the last real estate verticals that still has all the right fundamentals for a highly profitable situation. If you are looking for a painless, brainless, easy-peasy investment, you might want to return this book and get a refund. MHP investing is not for the faint of heart and many have lost in this game, but many more have made millions in a very short time by following some simple yet uncommon rules.Achieving near 20% returns in year 1 happens every day, in year 2 north of 30%, and final exits can be more than 3-5 times what you have into it in just a few years, if done properly. The risk exposure however is high and often you will need to bring a good amount of capital above and beyond the purchase price of the park to fix all the deferred maintenance and the general "ugly" on your new investment.It is my goal that this guide provides readers with useful and actionable insight to operating a mobile home park. This book has been created for simply one thing, to help you be more successful in the MHP world. I know I wish I had a book on it when I bought my first park in 2004 because I probably wouldn't have purchased that particular park.I have been a salesman for nearly my entire life, starting in grade school. I would buy candy at wholesale prices and sell those gumdrops and lollipops to my fellow students for above retail value. As an adult I have been a mobile home park owner and operator, a commercial real estate broker for nearly two decades and a lifelong entrepreneur. I have had successful businesses in Shiitake Farming, Cannabis industry, Direct investments and traditional property management in some of the hardest hoods in the south. I have found my purpose through helping others achieve financial freedom by being the best advisor I can be. I have helped countless clients acquire and dispose of their investment vehicles over my career and take pride in being one of the most informed brokers in my industry.If you are thinking of entering the MHP world or if you are already well-immersed in the industry, I want to help you. I want to see you succeed. I want to help you achieve financial freedom. I want to be so useful to you that I am your first call for anything MHP related. I have been through more transactions, more market cycles and more ups and downs than your typical commercial broker because I am not your typical broker, I am a tried and true advisor for the MHP industry. By the end of this book you should have a more comprehensive understanding of the industry, the tools to navigate the industry and the know-how on implementing winning strategies from the start. There is a steep learning curve in this business, and I aim to help you achieve a stable footing in what is currently the wild west of real estate.It is not too late to still get a good deal. The industry is still ripe for the picking if you know where to look and how to negotiate. Don't be tricked to jumping in to just any deal as all deals are not created equal. The information in this book should help assist you in becoming able to confidently evaluate a deal and recognize the opportunities and pitfalls of each deal. And, if you still need more help, please do not hesitate to call me for no-nonsense guidance. The advisory services I provide are free so don't be afraid to contact me. Like I said earlier, I want to be so useful for you that I am your first call for anything MHP related. Good luck and good hunting!
