If I could only buy a trailer I often wonder about adding onto it, with presumably two stories.

I guess that when I could afford to add onto the addition I replace the original home.

If the property is big enough you could build a house on another part, but then you might end up with a house on a weird location on your property.

Move the mobile home out of the way, connect it there, and built a site-built home in the original spot?
I don't think you could build another story above a trailer unless it was a house on stilts. Even adding drywall on a trailer's ceiling can wreak havoc on the frame due to that extra weight.
