Isn't that how renters insurance works?

Anything can be insured for the right price.

Houses, even super old ones, appreciate. Mobile homes depreciate like cars. It may be like cars where there comes a point where they are not worth the price the insurance would cost per year

Correct, mobile home policies are ACV policies.

it doesn't take long buying them at 10k and renting for 1k a month for it to be super lucrative insurance or not.

Going to catch some grief, no doubt, but this is Louisiana personified.

Beyond me why anyone would live in that shite hole, in a crap state that gets wrecked by major hurricanes on the regular.

Hope you recover and whatever, but my goodness, may be your best stroke of luck to get out of there.

Its an extremely simple concept, houses are fixed real estate which appreciate largely due to land value and scarcity. Mobile homes are movable property which can be readily churned out for cheaper and cheaper.

Yea but once one has been immobilized and homsteaded on land does the same rule apply for age affecting the ability to insure it? Genuinely curious.

they are probably insured as real property. But you can't immobilize and homestead a mobile home in a park. Only onland you own.

Even if mobile homes are technically fixed, they are rarely considered real estate outside of special circumstances where it would be extremely difficult and costly to move the thing.

It usually takes a good bit of money and ancillary improvements to affix the thing in such a manner where outside parties would consider it real estate from what I have seen.
