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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterful debut, Martin Clark proves to be the heir apparent of great Southern raconteurs and the envy of more seasoned novelists as he takes us on a frantic tour of the modern south. Hung over, beaten by the unforgiving sun, bitter at his estranged wife, and dreading the day’s docket of petty criminal cases, Judge Evers Wheeling is in need of something on the morning he's accosted by Ruth Esther English. Ruth Esther's strange story certainly is something, and Judge Wheeling finds himself in uncharted territory. Reluctantly agreeing to help Ruth Esther retrieve some stolen money, he recruits his pot-addled brother and a band of merry hangers-on for the big adventure. Raucous road trips, infidelity, suspected killers, winning Lotto tickets, drunken philosophical rants, and at least one naked woman tied to a road sign ensue in The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living, one part legal thriller, one part murder mystery, and all parts all wild.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufactured Insecurity is the first book of its kind to provide an in-depth investigation of the social, legal, geospatial, and market forces that intersect to create housing insecurity for an entire class of low-income residents. Drawing on rich ethnographic data collected before, during, and after mobile home park closures and community-wide evictions in Florida and Texas—the two states with the largest mobile home populations—Manufactured Insecurity forces social scientists and policymakers to respond to a fundamental question: how do the poor access and retain secure housing in the face of widespread poverty, deepening inequality, and scarce legal protection? With important contributions to urban sociology, housing studies, planning, and public policy, the book provides a broader understanding of inequality and social welfare in the United States today.

Tiny houses, of less than 20 m2, where the main space is at the same time kitchen and living room, which tend to have a small loft for the bedroom and where there is no place for things which don't have an essential use, giving their owner the necessary comfort.

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!

Download or read book The Unknown World of the Mobile Home written by John Fraser Hart and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2002-07-08 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In American popular imagination, the mobile home evokes images of cramped interiors, cheap materials, and occupants too poor or unsavory to live anywhere else. Since the 1940s and '50s, however, mobile home manufacturers have improved standards of construction and now present them as an affordable alternative to conventional site-built homes. Today one of every fourteen Americans lives in a mobile home. In The Unknown World of the Mobile Home authors John Fraser Hart, Michelle J. Rhodes, and John T. Morgan illuminate the history and culture of these often misunderstood domiciles. They describe early mobile homes, which were trailers designed to be pulled behind automobiles and which were more often than not poorly constructed and unequal to the needs of those who used them. During the 1970s, however, Congress enacted federal standards for the quality and safety of mobile homes, which led to innovation in design and the production of much more attractive and durable models. These models now comply with local building codes and many are designed to look like conventional houses. As a result, one out every five new single-family housing units purchased in the United States is a mobile home, sited everywhere from the conventional trailer park to custom-designed "estates" aimed at young couples and retirees. Despite all these changes in manufacture and design, even the most immobile mobile homes are still sold, financed, regulated, and taxed as vehicles. With a wealth of detail and illustrations, The Unknown World of the Mobile Home provides readers with an in-depth look into this variation on the American dream. -- Karl Raitz, University of Kentucky, author of The National Road
