[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 528090, member: 84"] Mobile homes decrease in value by considerable amount as they age. And honestly.........I've never really known one to age well, even those that were taken care of with great care. They're literally not built to last. Depending on where you live; you will freeze in the winter, smother in the summer. (this may or may not be with high utilities.....that would depend on the shape of the mobile home) Many a storm will make you feel like you're at sea. (especially if you've never lived in one) Rain can be deafening, so you can imagine hail. If you live where tornadoes are common........it's just plain a BAD idea. You'll have lot rent that will never go away (and lot maintainence) on top of the mobile home payment. And to be blunt, they're made out of the cheapest, flimsiest material you've ever seen........and expensive to repair because you most likely won't be able to buy the same cheap materials to repair it. My sibs learned these lessons the hard way. The only good thing about them is that they're cheap.....and of course sort of mobile. [/QUOTE]
