Most real estate software is built by people who've never been in a deal. I've closed hundreds. Financed them. Rehabbed them. Lost money on a few. That background is the product. Building with AI accelerates it. Domain knowledge is still the moat.

Vapor barriers in manufactured homes. Most owners don't know if they have one. Most buyers don't ask. Without it: moisture builds under the floor. Subfloor rot. Mold. $10K–$30K fix. It's a $500 part that saves a sale. Pre-1990 home? Always check the underbelly.

3BR in Gilbert, AZ. $149,000. Median Phoenix home: $420K+. Same suburb. Same zip codes people move to for good schools and quiet streets. Ownership at $149K vs $2,200/mo rent. This is why I built RealMobileHomes — the math was always here. realmobilehomes.com

End of week 3. Content engine running. 3 posts a day across 2 accounts. The stuff that isn't running yet: cold outreach, seller signups, SEO indexing. Three things. All fixable. All on my list for this week. That's the honest version of "building in public."

Housing policy talks about supply. It rarely talks about what's already built. 44,000 mobile home parks. Millions of units. Already permitted. Already occupied. The solution exists. It just doesn't get the narrative. That's what I'm trying to change.

Residents own the home. Not the land. When a park closes, that home can't be moved easily. Can't be refinanced. Stranded. Florida lost 60,000 lots in a decade. This is a housing crisis hiding in plain sight. We talk about supply. We don't talk about what's being quietly erased.

Most manufactured home owners are building equity in a depreciating asset. Not because the home depreciates — because the loan does. Personal property financing. No mortgage interest deduction. No equity line. The home is real. The financial system around it isn't built for it.

Day 19 of building in public. Content engine running. 3 posts a day, on schedule. What's not running yet: cold outreach. Seller signups. SEO indexing. Three levers that turn content into supply. That's the work this week.

One thing buyers don't learn until it's too late. Title seasoning. Resell a mobile home within 12 months — some lenders won't finance the next buyer. Doesn't matter how solid the deal is. The bank kills it. 25 years in. Still the most common surprise I've seen at closing.

Solo founder means you do everything. Nobody explains the context - you already have it. No handoff meetings. No briefs. The bottleneck is you. So is the institutional knowledge. It's the same person. That's the trade.

Most mobile home owners don't realize they have two ownership situations: Chattel title — home only, personal property, hard to finance. Real property — home + land deeded together, mortgageable. Most are in chattel and don't know they can convert.

The advantage of building in a niche you know: I don't research manufactured homes. I've bought, rehabbed, and sold them. I know the financing traps. The title quirks. The park rules. Domain knowledge + AI execution speed is a real edge.

I've been a broker for 25 years. I didn't know what an API was until 2024. Now I'm building the AI layer on top of a nationwide housing marketplace. The gap between knowing a market and building for it used to take a decade. Not anymore.

The down payment bar is designed for a $420K house. 3% down = $12,600. 20% down = $84,000. Most people can't clear that. A manufactured home at $85K? 3% down is $2,550. Some chattel loans need zero. The system isn't broken for everyone. It's working exactly as designed.
