🏡 RENT vs. OWN IN LIVERMORE — WHAT COULD 10 YEARS LOOK LIKE?

If you need a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in Livermore, is it better to keep renting — or consider owning a manufactured home?

Let’s look at a simple example.

🔑 OPTION 1: RENT A 3-BEDROOM HOME

Assume rent starts at $3,600/month.

With an assumed 3% annual rent increase:

• About $229,000 paid in rent over 5 years
• About $495,000 paid in rent over 10 years

At the end of 10 years, you move out with no ownership in the home.

🏠 OPTION 2: BUY A MANUFACTURED HOME

Example purchase price: $320,000

Assuming:

• 20% down: $64,000
• Loan amount: $256,000
• Example 30-year loan at 7%
• Estimated principal & interest: ~$1,703/month
• Current space rent: $1,385/month

That puts the starting mortgage + space rent at approximately:

👉 $3,088/month

Compared with approximately $3,600/month to rent a 3-bedroom home.

But there’s another important difference:

You own the manufactured home.

After 10 years, under this example, the loan balance would be approximately $220,000.

If the home were still worth $320,000, that would represent approximately $100,000 in gross equity before selling costs.

If the home increased in value, the potential equity could be higher. If its value declined, the equity could be lower.

📊 10-YEAR SNAPSHOT

RENT OWN
Starting monthly rent / mortgage + space rent $3,600 ~$3,088
Approx. 10-year rent / space rent ~$495K ~$191K space rent
Approx. 10-year mortgage payments — ~$204K

Own the land ❌ ❌
Maintenance responsibility Landlord Homeowner

Manufactured homes aren’t right for everyone. You still need to consider space rent, financing, insurance, taxes/registration, maintenance, park requirements, future space-rent increases and resale value.

But for a family who wants to stay in Livermore for the next 5–10 years, needs more space, and isn’t ready for the price of a traditional single-family home, manufactured-home ownership may be worth comparing with renting.

Instead of asking:

“Can I afford a $1M+ house in Livermore?”

Another question may be:

“Does it make more sense for my family to keep renting, or own a more affordable home while we build toward our next step?”

📩 Curious whether buying or renting makes more sense for your situation?

I’d be happy to run the numbers with you.

🏡 One Year in Real Estate — What a Journey! ❤️

It’s hard to believe it has already been one year since I got my real estate license! 🎉

One year ago, I stepped into this career with excitement, curiosity, and honestly… a lot to learn. 😄

Over the past year, I’ve experienced so many “firsts” — my first buyer, first accepted offer, first closing, first listing, first open house, first multiple-offer situation, and of course, plenty of challenges along the way.

Real estate has taught me that this job is not just about buying and selling houses. It’s about people, trust, responsibility, problem-solving, and being there for clients during one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

I’m especially grateful to Mony Nop and the Mony Nop Real Estate Team for the coaching, encouragement, and for teaching me from the beginning how to do things the right and professional way. ❤️

And a huge THANK YOU to every client, friend, colleague, lender, escrow officer, inspector, and everyone who has supported, trusted, referred, or simply encouraged me during this first year.

I’m still learning. I’m still growing. And I know I have a long way to go.

But one thing hasn’t changed: I truly enjoy helping people find a place they can call home. 🏡❤️

Cheers to Year 1 completed — and to many more homes, relationships, lessons, and happy clients ahead! 🥂
