Seriously, yet another idea I had to put a dent in the housing crisis.
Upgrade and bring trailer parks into the 21st century.
You see, I was a big fan of the tiny house movement for years, but when you are raising a family, well it's too small.
However, trailer models, have been there for years, they are affordable and quite frankly, some of the more recent models put a lot of the apartments we live in to shame.
But there are two problems that occur when considering this as an option;
1) Banks are not on board with giving a mortgage on trailer parks.
2) The stigma. People don't want to be considered “trailer park trash”.
The second statement holds more true than anything else. The stereotype is so mainstream, that everyone turns their noses at it.
Yet, we have real estate agents advertising “starter homes” and “handyman specials”. I mean, what's the difference?
And don't get me started on the “house as an investment”. ENOUGH ALREADY!!
Some of us don't care. We just don't want to be homeless.
