🏠 The #1 Deal Killer We’re Seeing in 2026… Roofs. 😬
In our market right now, insurance companies are getting a lot stricter. Many carriers want at least 5 years of life left on the roof to issue a policy.
In the past, a 2-year roof certification was usually enough to get through escrow. Not anymore.
Now what we’re s…

Homes today are far more expensive than in past generations 🏡💰 so buyers often need more cash to make it happen.
Research from BAM shows 19.6% of millennial buyers and 14.8% of Gen Z buyers received cash gifts from family, and about 1 in 5 buyers sold stock to help fund their purchase. 📊
But if you don’t have family …

🏠 Buying a manufactured home… do you still need escrow? 🤔
One of our agents was helping with a For Sale By Owner, and the seller didn’t want to use escrow. 🚩
Turns out… the son was trying to sell the home, but his father was actually the owner and was out of the country.
Here’s the scary part 😳

And the truth is… my fiancé Megan Blackwell carried so much of that weight. ❤️
She literally did everything to help make this event come together. The planning, the organization, the follow ups, the details most people will never even see.
People will see the stage, the speakers, and the energy in the room today… but what they won’t see is the incredible amount of work she put in to make it all happen.
I’m beyond grateful for you Megan. Proud of you and thankful we get to build things like this together. 🙌

🏠 The #1 Deal Killer We’re Seeing in 2026… Roofs. 😬
In our market right now, insurance companies are getting a lot stricter. Many carriers want at least 5 years of life left on the roof to issue a policy.
In the past, a 2-year roof certification was usually enough to get through escrow. Not anymore.
Now what we’re seeing is this:
Buyers close escrow… and 30, 60, or 90 days later the insurance company cancels the policy if the roof doesn’t meet their standards. 🚫
That’s why more deals now require negotiating a new roof before closing or structuring a solution with the buyer and seller so the property stays insurable. 🏡🔨
Have you run into this issue yet in 2026?

But if you don’t have family help or investments to sell, there are still options:
🚗 Take a gig job like Uber, DoorDash, or Instacart and put that extra income into a dedicated housing account
📉 Upload your bank and credit card statements to ChatGPT to create a monthly budget and identify spending you can cut
Stacking extra income + smarter budgeting for 1–2 years can help build a down payment.
📍 So now I want to hear from you. What other strategies have you seen buyers use to come up with their down payment?

I’ve seen them sell things or get a gift from a family or friends. There are a lot of creative ways to get what you need
@respectthebec93 have to get creative these days

Turns out… the son was trying to sell the home, but his father was actually the owner and was out of the country.
Here’s the scary part 😳
In California, manufactured homes are transferred through HCD, and the documents don’t have to be notarized.
So technically the son could have signed the paperwork… even though he wasn’t the owner.
💡 If the deal goes through escrow, there are notaries, verification, and protections for both buyer and seller.
My opinion? Always use escrow.
What do you think… should manufactured home sales go through escrow or not?
