Did you know that after people live in a FEMA Trailer after a natural disaster that they have to give them back and then the government auctions them off? Some sell for as little as $1500 and therefore if you are looking for an inexpensive trailer this might be a very good bet for you? The prices actually range from as high as $8,000 down to as low as $850 but either way a deal is a deal.
FEMA stands for Federal Emergency Management Agency and there are many such auctions that happen from time to time. Sometimes they auction off brand new trailers, never used before at all. Often the dealers will bid on entire lots and take 10-20 at a time and sell for much higher prices later. Sometimes the people who live in them now can buy them outright or via the auction also. Others say thanks, but no thanks and are glad to have their homes rebuilt and want the things off the property, as they bring back horrific memories they say.
For the non-portable units however you must prove you have proper zoning to park the FEMA Trailer that you buy at auction and that you do not live in a flood zone or anything like that. Makes sense to me. Perhaps you might consider all this in 2006.
