Homes are rarely moved because of high cost of moving manufactured homes.
Approximate cost of moving a home is between $5000 and $10,000 (AARP)
Many parks won’t accept homes that are more than 10 years old.

Manufactured home park residents are predominately low income. For many residents, manufactured home parks represent the most affordable home ownership option. However, this also means that many residents are not financially able to withstand the hardship of a park closing.

Under the prevailing ownership model, residents are also faced with financing issues, such as high interest rates and fees, which leave many residents with more debt than equity in their homes. This means that in the event of a park closure, some residents will be forced to continue to pay for a home that they can no longer live in.

Minnesota Law – Challenges and Opportunities
Notice Provisions: Closure notices required for residents and the municipality, but not for any central agency. This makes it difficult to ensure compliance with the notice procedures and for advocates to obtain timely information in order to pursue preservation strategies.
Timing: The state law only gives residents or non-profits 45 days to meet the sale price of a park closing for redevelopment. Also, the first refusal right only applies to parks sold within the past year. If the owner has owned the park for longer than that, they are not subject to the right of first refusal.
Property Classification: Manufactured homes are considered personal property not real estate, contributing to financing issues like higher interest rates and large fees.
