We are farmers and own a great deal of land but are not ready to build a house. (At this time we cannot afford to build something we will be happy living in for the rest of our lives, but we are tired of our rental in town and just want to be out on our land.) We are planning on purchasing a new (or just a couple years old) mobile home and living in it for about ten years. (Please do not lecture on what a bad investment a mobile home is – we are well aware of it.)

We are in Iowa and we know we are probably looking at problems with frozen pipes and rodents. Does anyone have any suggestions about dealing with these issues or any others we may not have thought of yet?

We were also wondering how energy efficient new (or newer) mobile homes are.
Also, storms & tornados will not be a problem – we have a shelter already.

A couple lumber stores in our area have them, but I wanted to compare nationwide, but I can't find anything. Also, I would like some prices on modular and mobile homes as well.

Like the mobile homes in Arkansas waiting to go to Katrina victims I own a mobile home that has a "bent frame". It has a high corner. Does anyone know if it will settle and equalize over time… or, a method of correction?

We've been living her for 4 years now. Always made our payments on time. The mortgage company we have doesn't refinance mobile homes. We've looked into other companies, but unless you have brick underpinning they won't do anything for you. I've tried selling this place but no real estate agent will talk to me because it's so hard to sell a mobile home. When we bought this place, the company said we could always refinance in a few years to get a lower payment. They weren't willing to do brick underpinning because it wasn't within the loan amount, and we got the least expensive home on there lot. I admit we had bad credit at the time, but our credit has improved considerable since buying this home. We have 3 kids and one on the way and it's only a 3 bedroom home. I want to add on to this home or find a home that we can afford and is bigger. What do you suggest?

I have 4 children that would like to keep their own bedrooms after years of having to share. I own 1.5 acres of land and a double wide mobile home. I want out of my mobile home. I have been seriously looking at log cabins & modular homes. I would put them on a slab on my property. After weeks of internets searches, I found a modular home that I am very interested in–the Cinci Cape by Palm Harbor. Anyone have any input on modulars or Palm Harbor?
How well made are they?
Do they retain their value?
Does thair value increase like a traditional "stick" home?
How do they compair in cost? Are they really substantially cheaper?
What should I look for?
If I decide against the modular home, what input do you have on log cabins?
Are they a realistic option in southern LA?
Are they energy efficient?
Do they settle and become unlevel?
Ideas people?
I cant afford to build traditionally, but I do not want to live in a mobile home any longer.
There is a substantial difference between mobile homes and modular homes–the differance starts with the ground up… mobile homes are on metal frames and are raised–modular homes are built like "stick" homes and can go on foundations/slabs.
Also, I am not renting. I own the land outright and have a mortgage on my mobile home. And, surprisingly, the value of the two has almost doubled since I bought them 7 years ago.

An older mobile home already has site work, utility and sewer hook-ups, but may need major updating. A new trailer does not need fixing, but the land needs to be purchased, site work needs to be done and utilities need to be hooked up. Really not interested in leasing the land or the mobile home. Looking to do this the most economical and cheapest way possible, money is very tight, and the mobile homes seem very affordable.
