So, if you need two or three bedrooms, you have exceeded that 30 percent ratio for housing to be affordable.<\/p>\n<p>The above clarifies why the NAHB President and CEO Jerry Howard said in 2022 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/real-estate\/affordability-homebuyers-wallets-builders-face-worse-case-scenerio\">Fox Business<\/a> that: &#8220;Right now, in almost no market in this country, can a homebuilder build a house that is affordable for a first-time homebuyer.\u201d Howard added: &#8220;We can&#8217;t do it.

The <a href=\"http:\/\/83,300\">St Louis Fed<\/a>, citing Census Bureau data said that a new single section manufactured home was \u201cin October 2023 it was $83,300.\u201d That was down from the price of $85,400 in June 2023. Lot cost varies, as do taxes and insurance rates. But let\u2019s imagine $100,000 in land and improvements for that new manufactured home. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/mortgages\/fha-loan-rates\/\">BankRate<\/a> said: \u201cSaturday, March 09, 2024, the national average 30-year FHA mortgage interest rate is 6.61%.\u201d Keep in mind that while some lenders want to do an \u2018overlay\u2019 and only want to finance multi-section manufactured homes on land, the FHA guidelines allow both single or multi-section home on land loans, and some lenders have historically done both. The math below reveals this is \u201caffordable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s about 500 words or 2\u00bd minutes reading.

Meaning, the private sector could solve the housing crisis, so long as the public sector enforces good existing laws. See the related reports to better understand the popularity as measured by surveys of such a solution, the related politics, apparent corruption, and other failures to implement the solution that a bipartisan Congress made federal law nearly a quarter of a century ago. The beauty in this solution are many, including the point that people would be allowed to select the type of housing and lifestyle that makes sense for them. Normalizing #HousingChoice is how #AffordableHousing gets done.<\/p>\n<p>In about 1200 words or about 9 minutes of initial reading, there you have the solution to the affordable housing crisis hiding in plain sight. Conventional builders can&#8217;t do it alone. Manufactured home builders are needed. Congress studied this in 2000 when it passed the MHIA (2000 Reform Law). They held hearings in 2011 and 2012 to see why HUD had not yet properly implemented the 2000 Reform Act. Congress could make it simple. Until HUD routinely implement federal law, cut HUD&#8217;s funding off. Until the FHFA properly enforces the Duty to Serve (DTS) on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to do chattel lending for manufactured homes, Congress could cut them off too. Simple.
