I'm not saying living in a mobile home is always a bad idea. Hey! That's what I'm doing!
But you got to know what you're getting into.
I paid very little for my trailer, am extremely knowlegeable about home repair and have access to lots of free materials. The lot rent has been extremely cheap compared to anything else around. The only drawback is that in the 12 years we've lived here it has grown a bit small for us and there's not much we can do about it without a huge change. Locally, if I scrounge around and look incesantly I might be able to get something about the same size for four times the monthly rent. Anything bigger will cost even more. Sure, our bedroom is barely 6ft x 6.5ft (more if you include the closet), but it works.
