The manufactured housing industry has always suffered from an unnecessary lack of confidence.

Inflation just broke 4%, and that means every CD and T-Bill you own is not even covering the rate of inflation. And the stock market, despite a historical 10% average return, is also barely covering inflation when you subtract your income taxes. To get anywhere in investing, you have to hit around 20%. Warren Buffett hit that average with the stock market at one time, but those days are over. The ONLY option to hit 20% going forward is through “alternative” investments, with mobile home parks being your best bet.
