This depends on maintenance more than anything. I was recently in a community of mobile homes in Florida, including double-wides and triple-wides. Many are 20-30 years old and in great shape. I've also seen communities where the mobile homes look beaten up and abused in 5 years. Using this kind of property as a rental seems problematic to me, as day-to-day care won't be the same as it would be for live-in owners. That said, the investment is small and if you choose tenants carefully, you may be okay.

I would guess if you have it on solid ground and skirted,
it would probably last around 20yrs.You don't get a lot of return for a mobile when sold. They depreciated yearly.
Great for a rental property.If it meets all requirements,
I worked in a Aluminum Office building for over 16yrs..
It's still a Business to this day.

I'm living in one that was sited in the late 70's, althought we have added an extension recently. If they are properly maintained they should last indefinitely.

some motile home sites like you to re-new your van every 10 years others will allow you to keep them longer.

I'd say it's pretty much worthless from day one.
But I'm probably the wrong guy to ask.
