How much should I save to buy a mobile home?
Manufactured Homes November 12th, 2009I have made the decision to save my money and eventually buy my own mobile home instead of renting. What price range should I shoot for when shopping for a mobile home? Are there any good websites out there?
Thanks

$15 – $20K.
hope you know that if you buy a mobile home, you’re not going to be able to sell it for what you paid for it, unless you own the land.
good luck.

20-40 thousand dollars. If it’s just you by yourself living in it you may want to buy a nice RV instead, you can go camping in it, move it whereever you like, and when you decide to sell it RVs don’t depreciate in value as much as mobile homes. RVs also come fully furnished and set up already and are built to a much higher standard of quality, while mobile homes are a pain in the butt to setup (underpinning, doors don’t fit properly because the framework sagged/flexed while it was on the truck, etc.)

Verizon got my son for 350, but gave him a camera phone, however he likes my cheap one better.

Probably heaps but, realistically, why would you want to buy a mobile home? It’s a very bad investment and only depreciates in value. If you’re saving a deposit for a home, buy a real one – otherwise, renting will be a better investment using the moving you’re saving toward other investments or 401k / IRA

It depends on the state you want to live in. The link below brings you to Arizona, go to the bottom of the web site and find your state, good luck.

Mark and Reality TV are so right! You would do so much better to buy a little patio home or small home or a town home. You are right not to want to throw your money away on rent… but a mobile home is not where you will get the most bang for your buck. Resale is awful.
