Its 20 grand you shit burgers

$20k tornado magnet no thanks hard pass

Only buy a trailer if you want a place for hobbies bigger than a shed

In my area they seem like a feasible option. I've seen a trailer for 42k, 1600 ft sq if I recall. Plus they were willing to make a discount if you paid the full amount. Could probably easily buy it for 37k. 15 miles from downtown as well, the downside that it was in a trailer park so it had no land whatsoever. Compared to paying $1200/month for a studio (1500 for a decent one) a trailer seems like a decent deal.

For 20k i could build better myself

fuck no it isn't .... a few years back we looked into buying one it was 100k

I think Op means buy a new one before they're used as a meth lab.
For tornadoes, you buy insurance and also have the expense of a tornado shelter. I've never lived in tornado country for more than 2 years tho.
You can live in areas where you don't get raped in property taxes.
I mean, I've considered it, that's how I know it's not just 20 k$
The idea is to live in them until you die, not to make your children or wife rich after you're dead

>downside that it was in a trailer park
And then the trailer park will jack up the rent after you've been there awhile.
Best to own the land it's on.
kinda no joke. It's a box.

>The idea is to live in them until you die, not to make your children or wife rich after you're dead
You've never been in a mobile home have you? Those things are not built to last, even brand new ones will fall apart within 15 years.

Worked out of a double-wide skid for remote work.
They're pretty nice.
RVs are just as good.

Bullshit. Fort Wayne here. Had a 2 bedroom with a study, living room, kitchen, one bath and 10ft ceilings and crown molding around the top and at 48 inches up the walls.

600 a month

I already own a farm

mine was 5

>property taxes
Thank good for that. It keeps the squatters like your family out!

>unlike a real house that keeps it's value.
Dave Ramsey is a charlatan. You home is not a ATM. Mobile homes and stick homes are made of the same shit materials. A non shitty person in a nice climate can make or break any home.

>Doublewides are a trap, they lose value
Right and you are a cosmopolitan that will always move around to where the opportunities are, right?

brick home fixer upper master race checking in. picked up 1800sq ft of bumblefucked HUD foreclosure on 1 acre innawoods. so far out that nothing literally ever happens. got fiber inernets to the door. working from home while i fixit up. property taxes and ins so low i can pickup beer cans to pay em.
i saved a long time and was able to put down the full 20% and go 15 years on the note. me neighbors are all elderly farmers who sells excess food from their gardens: 60lb of potatoes for $20. one is plowing/discing my garden spot for me: free because i let him park a trailer in my barn over summer.
lowered me expectations and got myself a home. appraises $20k over purchase as-is. Once the repairs are done it'll appraise at $160k easy (but i'll never sell)

150k here

lol I wonder how many of us there are. by the time you pay for slab, well and septic you're approaching the cost of just buying a shitty house. Same goes for the shipping container homes, container is just the beginning of cost. Have you looked into aircrete/domehomes? Feel like they're more of a meme than anything, seemed interesting though.

You can’t park a mobile home in the city

>even brand new ones will fall apart within 15 years
why? it's just a huge room. that's like saying a stationary metal shed will fall apart within 15 years. unless you mean septic system?
