DENVER — For decades, mobile homes have been a sweet spot in home ownership. They provide an opportunity to own a home at much lower prices than traditional single-family homes.
The problem for some homeowners has become the sale of the land underneath the homes. With mobile homes, sometimes called manufactured homes, the residents only own the structure, not the land it’s on. Selling the land out from underneath homes is a lucrative business that lately has involved big companies and left some residents behind.
