Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Home's song "Be With Me" explore themes of change, growth, and the bittersweet nature of life's transitions. The verses touch on various aspects of life, from childhood to adulthood to facing the future. The first verse reflects on the feeling of leaving behind insecurities and immaturity, symbolized by a "kitai" (a traditional Japanese garment) and a child wearing an ill-fitting suit. It suggests that from the time of entering school to graduating and joining the workforce, meetings and farewells become a recurring cycle.

The second verse signifies the experience of navigating through different phases of life, even when the surroundings change. It suggests that personal growth continues through memories and the support of loved ones. The lyrics imply that despite encountering new environments, it is still possible to find strength and continue to grow, with memories serving as a driving force.

The third verse touches on nostalgia, reminding listeners of moments and experiences shared with others. It brings to mind laughter, foolish acts, and the realization that being able to remember such things is essential. It also expresses the idea of cherishing relationships with those who have gone through similar experiences, even if there were disagreements or fights along the way. The lyrics express a desire to meet again and embrace such connections, highlighting the importance of not rushing and allowing time to pass naturally.

The fourth verse emphasizes the inevitability of change and separation, acknowledging the path towards the future. It encourages resilience and assures listeners that they will be alright. The lyrics suggest that even in the winter when one may want to close their eyes, they will endure and wait for the arrival of spring, symbolized by cherry blossoms. The words convey the notion of finding light in one's journey and blessing it with various colors, possibly representing blessings and new experiences waiting ahead.

The chorus reassures the listener that pain and sadness can be overcome, and people have the capacity to become kinder through personal experiences. It implies that even the smallest experiences contribute to personal growth and will eventually allow them to deeply understand others. The lyrics encourage not to worry and emphasize the importance of moving forward, both physically and emotionally, underlining the idea of aiming for the sky and reaching new heights.

The repeated lines in the outro reaffirm the idea of shapes and forms existing for eventual separation. They acknowledge the continuation of the journey into the unseen future, reminding listeners that they will be alright and assuring them that they have the answers and the power in their hands. The lyrics convey a sense of finality and new beginnings, suggesting that parting ways also leads to personal development and understanding. The overall message encourages embracing change, facing the future, and holding onto memories and relationships to find strength in life's transitions.

As someone who lived in mobile homes for 21 years, I was prepared to be skeptical, but Jerry's information is solid. Great tips if looking into manufactured housing! I would add a couple more. (1) Don't buy into a "rental park." Look for mobile home communities where the residents own the park or the land. That way, no one can sell it out from under you. (2) If you're considering an older home, check out what homeowners insurance is available. If a home is too old, you sometimes can't get it insured. Thanks, Jerry, for an excellent video.

I agree to a point. My mobile is appraised at approx $45,000 it's a 2/2 lot rent is $975. What I noticed is comparable ones in resident owned is that the prices people want for their home is as much as 3 x what I can sell mine for. There is still monthly fees just not as high. The added price makes it harder to sell. It's a gamble that everyone in the park will agree to sell at the same time.
So what one is buying at all that extra cost is the protection that if the park sells your investment will be protected. What happens when the park doesn't sell. Selling a home that is very similar to yours at about third the price make it more appealing to a buyer, especially if they are retired.

It’s a tragic situation what is happening to the mobile home communities. I have considered downsizing to a mobile home but changed my mind because of this. It’s a crime these greedy investors and corporations can’t be satisfied pricing out the middle class of basic housing, now they have to gouge the poor and senior citizens who can least afford it. This bs has to stop.

I'm low income & really want my own house. So I thought a manufactured home was my best bet. It was a nightmare trying to get a conventional mortgage. I found out early that parks due to possible large rent increases could also wind up being a nightmare that could cause me to loose my home. Trying to find a cheap piece of land to put it on was not cheap but very expensive. Eventually I found a stick built house I could afford & had no problem getting a conventional mortgage. It came with a 1/4 acre of land. I could not be happier. I use to be a renter & got out right as the rents began skyrocketing. Now as long as I pay my mortgage I have an affordable home where the price will stay the same & won't constantly be going up & I now have an an affordable home for the rest of my life.

You're smart - you made a good decision. The whole mobile home thing highlights the dark side of capitalism in this country. Compared to a stick built house these things are total junk - I sold 'em briefly and I bought one and remodeled the thing. I dry walled and re-plumbed the thing and I saw how it was built - basically stapled together. The interior "walls" were 2x2's. DOH. The floors were a shitty composite material. 99-percent are in parks where a park owner can jack the rent at any time. The reality is that, for most people, these things are a horrible idea. They also don't do well in storms and they'll burn to the ground in about 15-minutes. You're also are forced to deal with iffy lenders as banks and credit unions, regular mortgage companies, etc. won't touch these things. These are the facts - this video is largely bullshit. Buying a used one and throwing it on some land, if you already have the land, is about the only time I could see buying one - as a hunting cabin or a little vacation home or something. Basically, mobile home buyers are almost universally low income and desperate - and they get taken advantage of by the people selling these things and the park owners.

My mom and het husband bought a mobile home and put it on a lot in Maine . Lease was $1,200 a year, included maintenance, opening it up in the spring and winterizing it after Labor Day and utilities. Now, 8 years later, after the owners retired and sold out to an investment group, it's up to almost $8,000 a year, the maintenance and utilities and opening and closing are all separate, on top of the taxes and insurance, so close to $12,000 a year for 5 months out of the year. They are selling it after pouring tens of thousands of dollars in improvements and additions and landscaping and will most likely lose about $40,000 on it, because it's not a year round home, no one wants those kinds of costs for 5 months a year. I begged her not to go into a deal where they didn't own the land, but she was like a runaway train when she got this in her head. All I'll hear about until the day she passes is how much she lost on this place. Greed sucks.

Years ago we bought a few acres of land in just outside of Seattle with a mobile on it for $150k. Today, that property is worth $400k and is a rental making great money. The last stick built home sold on our street was $750k. Don’t turn your nose up to mobiles.

In the early 90s I built manufactured homes on the assembly line in northern Indiana. It was a very demanding job. The pay was good, though. Then I moved onto sales in southern states. When these homes are set up correctly, and proper maintenance is done, they will last many years. There are good and bad ones, just like home builders. To me, it seems that modular is the way to go, today. They are just like site built homes, but built in pieces at a factory, which are then assembled on the property. The factory has inspectors for every step of the build. Buying used mobile homes is like pulling the one arm bandits in Las Vegas. Unless you have the original build sheet, you won't know what is going on under the floor, in the walls and in the ceiling.

Great video. EXTREMELY helpful and true. My husband and i purchased a mobile home outright on a rented lot. The Carlisle Group purchased it and as soon as that happened, they fixed two street bumps and added $50 to the rent. Then we had a problem because the old owner couldn't find good management so they started "offering to buy at a good price" homes all over the park,. Luckily we stood up to them and were in a position to buy a piece of land and move it. This all went down during the height of COVID so there were eviction laws protecting people from being kicked out at the time but others werent so lucky.🎉

A couple of years ago, I wanted to purchase a mobile home on a nice privately owned lot, and I checked into VA financing. They said the home had to be less than 10 years old and pass other criteria. It truly seems almost impossible to find good financing for these types of homes.

25 or 30 years ago financing and insurance on the mobile home I bought in a park was easy to find and get. Now not so much. I didn't have any insurance when I moved out. An old home with no bank loan, I don't know if you can find any.

Manufactured homes and mobile homes are two different things. 2x4 walls vs 2x3 walls. 2x4 rafters vs bow truss. Removable axels vs permanent axels. Manufactured can be quite large and have two stories. These homes come in sections and are mated together on-site. Manufactured home are far superior structurally to mobile homes, thats why the stopped making mobiles. I help write the building code requirements for manufactured homes.

Storage unit owners often charge long time renters more than newer renters because they realized long term renters are unlikely to be able to part with their items if the rent goes up. You can often save half by moving into a different unit in the same facility-while you figure out how to quit storing things you don't use. It must be even worse for long time mobile home lot renters as their home gets less able to survive a move by the year and the lot owner knows they are basically trapped. People need protections from price gouging for their basic necessities!

WEREFEAT 035

I had a whole lot of trouble with the financing on a mobile home in Texas. It turns out that if you try to buy a place and the trailer has been moved, that screws everything up. People first buy their place and put it in a park, then the park jacks up the lot rent so they move. And when they do that, the trailer has "been moved." So the financing ability degrades.

Guy Merritt

Financing these things is a nightmare - I sold them, very briefly, years ago when I needed any kind of job. This guy makes it sound easy - it isn't.

@Guy Merritt I've heard all kinds of nightmare stories about moving them too. One fellow told me that if I ever moved one, to copy the serial numbers off the wheels or mark them, because the truck drivers would replace your good ones with garbage. Other that these hazards, they're nice and you can put them out in the country where it's quiet and relatively safe.

Guy Merritt

@WEREFEAT 035 I actually bought a used one, once, and it was nice. It had an "expando" which was popular years ago - one portion of the living room pulled out and the living room was really large. I just bought it because the seller's sister had died and he only wanted $1,500 for the thing. I just bought it to fix it up and sell the thing. I actually drywalled most of it. I mean, they're okay in some circumstances. But this guy paints a much rosier picture of the things than is real. And, putting 'em land costs a whole lot more than most people think. You have to have perc tests, drill a well or hook up to city water and electric - he doesn't get into the costs of putting one on land, at all. It ain't cheap. If you can buy a used one for next to nothing they're fine in some circumstances. And it cost thousands to move the damned things. They're also dangerous as hell in bad weather, or, in the event of a fire. And this idea that they gain in value???? When did that start happening?

Nancy Ojeda

43w↑3

Excellent advice. Watch out for mobile home financing that is more like a car loan, than a mortgage, and allows the home to be easily repo'd if you get behind. Another point about plumbing - mobile homes use special plumbing. It's not the same as a stick built house. This can make repairs more difficult and expensive because parts are not always available when you need them.

Regarding the floors, make sure that there is no standing water under the house (verify drainage) and look under the home and make sure the vapor barrier plastic is in place, with no insulation hanging down. I work out of an office trailer and have for years. If you have standing water and sagging or missing insulation, you WILL have the floor deck rot, and it will be expensive and inconvenient to fix.

Great video, as always. The reason I searched mobile homes is because a cousin of mine just moved into one and it just didn't sound right. The more I learn about the situation the worse it gets. I also heard from a friend who moved into a mobile home park in Vegas. It was a lot costlier than he imagined. He thought he was going to save money. His electricity bill is higher than a lot of mortgage payments because in the summer you're running that AC cranked out 24/7. And then there are the plumbing issues. Another issue I often hear about is the issue of soil/foundation erosion. It's not uncommon for mobile/modular homes to collapse inward because of a little thig called gravity. Sometimes when you pay less you get what you pay for...and then some. Keep up the good work. People need to see videos like this before they make a huge mistake.

One other issue with buying land is to make sure you have access to it. I've seen a couple cases where people bought a landlocked parcel and then found out they didn't have a legal easement to get to it, or that the designated easement wasn't actually usable.

Oh, and I've seen a couple situations where people bought a property with an existing driveway crossing another parcel, only the find out it's not a legal easement, but an arrangement the last owner made with the neighbor.

I dabble in land development. I have some experience. I divided a large property into lots. Come to find out, three of the lots were inaccessible by the power company. Fortunately, though I had sold most of the lots, I still owned a lot through which I could give easement to the power company. It should have been caught and accounted for by the surveyor. I was lucky I still had that lot available through which I could grant an easement.

By definition, if you buy discounted land, it's market value is worth more than you paid for it. In addition, if you buy in the right area, which is almost everywhere these days, the value of the land will explode. Of course, I am talking about land as an investment.

You're spot-on I've lived in Waimea manufactured home and my property for 30 years worked very hard to keep it from my ex-husband and his lack of paying the mortgage many many times and have recently paid it off and have now remodeled my home is 1800 square feet on Two and a quarter Acres of beautiful land and I've invested a lot of money but I love this house. I still get people when I say I have a manufactured home that's cringe their noses but I have seen site-built homes that are a mess I wonder when this opinion is going to cease. When people walk into my home they go oh wow it's beautiful I brought my premature baby home who is now 26 years old to this house it's seeing me through windstorms and a bad marriage and I'm now 60 and it will be my retirement home. I've been lucky I've had inherited says that have been given me the ability to pay it off and do upgrades just like any other home

So the only thing you actually earned or worked for was keeping it from your ex and someone worked and earned the money for you to have the home.

The land option is a tough one since very few communities allow mobile homes to be placed ANYWHERE except a zoned mobile home park.

This is true. You always want to check with your county zoning office before making any moves. Thanks for taking the time to watch this video

I briefly sold the damned things and this guy also glosses over the fact that setting one up on land is extremely expensive - it's not just the land. There are perc tests, septic or sewer hookups. electric hookups.....etc. The people who buy these things can very rarely afford to put them on land - almost never. He conveniently skips all of that and, being in the industry, he's aware of these costs.

I have a brand new 68x30 ft modular home. Its seems quite solid. 2x6 framing, 2x10 floor joists, 9ft ceilings, R50 insulation upgrade, hardie board and batten siding upgrade, transom window upgrades, and I did all my own interior finishing upgrades, built a big stone fireplace and installed heat pumps for ac.

@Todd haha pretty much. It's a second dwelling on the property so it legally cannot be a actual house.

I love my manufactured home here in eastern Canada. Just a 10 minute drive to stores and I have 5.5 acres of land and 450 feet of lake frontage. The well water is so pure you could bottle it and sell it. it has 3 huge windows and 1000 square feet. All plywood construction no chipboard. Has back porch, a big baby barn and a shed. Only 8 years old with oak flooring and porcelain tiles in huge kitchen. I'm currently paying 630 dollars a month mortgage and taxes. My biggest power bill was 170 dollars in January. Has a heat pump also. Everything is so convenient. Glorious retirement!

@Mckessa King If one doesn't want or need a monster home then a manufactured home makes financial sense. But it must be located away from large urban areas so a car is required. A million dollars for a bungalow house in the Toronto area or 3000 dollars a month to rent an apartment?! Am I on the same planet?

@gwwayner I know a few folks who sold there overpriced homes in the greater Toronto area and are living like kings and queens in the Atlantic provinces.

I have been living in my manufactured home for 21 years now. It's a triple wide and I bought it on the internet. It's 2,500 sqft on a cement slab so it's considered a permanent home. It's also on my own property, 2.5 acres of land.
