| According to an article by the Associated Press, some homeowners in the Oakridge Mobile Home Park have something to celebrate! The homeowners whose mobile homes were destroyed by the Sayre Fire last year will receive millions of dollars in additional insurance money.
California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner says that the insurer AIG will provide as much as $125,000 more for each owner to rebuild. AIG insured 370 of the 485 homes destroyed when fire swept through the mobile home community in Sylmar last November. |
 |
| State insurance regulators say they reached a deal with AIG to provide up to $46 million in additional money to ensure that all those policyholders would have the funds to rebuild. This averages to between $100K and $125K in additional money for each policy holder.

Have you heard about the "Totally Green Alberta" project? It is a newly proposed Manufactured and Modular Home community near Calgary, Alberta.
The project is an environmentally responsible affordable living initiative, offering country living,
wind and solar powered energy, recycling and waste management, water recycling and waste water processing. It even includes
compost processing all packaged in a desirable community atmosphere.
5 Star Homes has no affiliation with this project and this is not an investment opportunity. We just thought it was interesting as it relates to the environmentally friendly aspects of manufactured housing and wanted to share it.
