One of my clients does foundations for Mobile Homes, ( we inspect the piers holes). His work has fallen off dramtically. A year ago, i considered buying his business--GLAD I didn't, as the current level of income wouldn't even pay the interest on the loan, let alone turn some profit.
I had thought that with the shrinking in the economy that more people might consider a Mobile Home, as a lower cost alternative. It seems that the economy doesn't work that way. The poor stay poor while the really rich ride above the fray. The formerly pretty well off would never consider a Mobile Home under any circumstances--maybe thats the telling concept.
