MHInsider
MHInsider is a manufactured housing trade news site published by MHVillage. It covers community operations and acquisition, retail and dealer sales, manufacturing, lending and legislation, and keeps a running calendar of industry events such as the Louisville Manufactured Housing Show, state association meetings and the RV/MH Hall of Fame induction.
The site is organised by beat. Its archives run to roughly 177 community posts, 175 industry news items, 173 event posts and 160 market trends and insights pieces. A Services & Suppliers section exists specifically to help operators find products and vendors, and runs to nine pages of archive on its own.
The publisher, MHVillage Inc., is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan and has run a consumer marketplace for buying and selling manufactured homes since 2004. MHVillage reports more than 25 million unique visitors a year; in 2016 more than 78,000 homes sold through the marketplace, with a combined transaction value above $2.5 billion.
Reading is free, though the site offers accounts and a login. A good share of the writing is contributed by industry practitioners rather than staff reporters, so check the byline before treating a piece as independent reporting.
