I was considering purchasing a mobile home recently b/c they are cheap but I discovered you also have to pay rent on the land, which is actually pretty expensive- like $300 to $400/mth. So that's one thing that's wrong with it. I tried searching for a mobile/manufactured home that's bundled with it's own land but couldn't find any so I gave up on the idea.
Alot of people believe in the stereotype that people living in trailer homes are stupid rednecks - "Trailer trash". Since you grew up in such a home would you care to fill us in on what you thought about the other people living in mobile homes?
My dad was a plumber, my mom stayed home. It's all they could afford and it was not new when they bought it. They lived on land given to them by my mom's parents as a wedding gist next to another couple who lived in a similar trailer.
We were regular folk, worked hard so forth.
Later on, my first "home" was a trailer and I lived in a trailer court. Couple hundred trailers or so. Normal, run of the mill people. Some ignorant, some that would give you the shirt off their back.
In other words, good people most of whom would never be so snobbish dare I say elitist as some of the comments in this and other threads.
Now, my wife and I have a nice home on a couple wooded hilly acres, make good money, but I've never forgotten where I came from or what others have to go thru to make it.
