As some of you know I live in a mobile home park. I have been here over 10 years and bought a new model about 4 years ago. I paid $20,000. for it and now a new model like it sells at about $55,000. My place would sell for around $32,000.

So I have been looking on Zillow and have found some homes with 3 br and a garage, the kicker is that I could keep my lawn care equipment in my garage and save $185 in storage rental per month and my mortgage would be less then my lot fee and mobile home payment. More room, further away from neighbors and no park manager to deal with.

There is a part of me that says to buy a really nice home and another part of me that says to be a bit frugal, go small and cheap. y home is about 780 sq. feet. I would like to bump it up to at least 1200 s.ft. (maybe more) and I don't want anything that needs tlc. Even if it needs paint (I hate painting) I will hire a crew to do it before moving.

This will in all probability be out last move, so I want to move and enjoy it. Any thoughts?
 
i had to google "mobile home park" cuz i have no idea what that is or what those words compounded mean
 
@fab No idea, and you live in the US? NYC and Chicago may not have mobile home parks, but rural NY and Illinois certainly do. The rural South has loads, and even here in urbanized Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades have them--Malibu as well. While not always the case, they provide the best opportunity for poor people to own a single-family home.

from what I'm reading about those neighborhoods i wouldn't call it an opportunity per se. lots of crime, lots of drugs, and several meth lab explosions.

I would think that you of all people would shun stereotypes. Poor is a term that I shun, never been poor in my life, I live here now because it was within my means back when the economy took a shit in 2008-9. We have a diverse
group of people in our park. Mostly blacks, whites and Hispanic. A lot of these are retirees, some are divorcees that were taken to the cleaners by their ex spouses. A number of young couples live here as well, most work and pay their way.
I am not aware of any meth labs in this park, but, I didn't make this thread to chum the waters either.
 
I hope you find the home that you are looking for.

If would be less expensive, then I say go for it, but you have to be happy where you would live.
 
Sounds like you have a lot of pros to move and no real cons to stay.

@peeonme No shame in being poor.

I agree, but in my opinion if I eat daily, have a car, have clothes and a roof over my head along with such things as heat, water and indoor plumbing (not to mention tv, computers and smart phones) I am hardly poor. Poor is for many a state of mind. When I say that I have never been poor I am comparing my life with those who lived through the great depression or still today live in lands where you are lucky to eat. America is a tremendous land with ample opportunity for those who choose not to wallow in self pity and apply themselves if they are able.
 
If what you say is correct, then you should definitely move. It is important to pick the right place though. Neighbors and city services can make a difference and are difficult to determine beforehand.
 
Well if it is less then go for it and move on up to the East Side! However if you are not close to neighbors and are dependent on them for some things it maybe worth considering having them nearby! You also have to contend with things like property tax, I don't know how much if anything you pay as a mobile home owner. Also bear in mind everything that a potential home would require ie painting and general maintenance and if you are up there in years it might not be the best choice for you! Now I don't know where you are looking but you should also have an inspector walk through it with you and make sure you aren't getting screwed 8 ways of Sunday! I would even see the house during the rain and inspect for flooding/water damage/lawn flooding issues! THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT: CHECK ALL THE TAPS SINKS SHOWERS AND TOILETS DRAINAGE AND WATER CAN OFTEN BE HUGE ISSUES!

Nah vetting a neighborhood is super easy. First you do the ocular scan. Then you test the neighbors.

"Hey I like to smoke crack, any dealers live in the park?"

"How recent was the most recent break-in?"

"Im on probation is that gonna be a problem in this area?"

Just gotta be creative.
 
I think pee needs to restrict his search to neighborhoods where such questions would be unthinkable. Then perhaps you were joking...
