Reckoning With Real Estate – Ep. 43: The Starter Home We Forgot About (Pt 2 of 2)

Today we’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with Sammi Silver! Sammi is a licensed Realtor®, founder, and president of Bright Idea Properties, where she specializes in manufactured homes. As you may remember from last episode, these homes are no longer called mobile homes. Today’s manufactured homes are beautifully crafted and permanent places to call home. The homes themselves have come a long way, but there are still some unique ownership challenges to navigate. That’s where Sammi comes in. She shares how she’s helping improve the process through education, advocacy, and state-level legislation to make manufactured homeownership more accessible and equitable. If you missed Part 1, be sure to give it a listen first! This week, we explore why manufactured homes can create more opportunities for affordable housing and where you can go to learn more or even get involved yourself!
