the average Joe driving these monstrosities are over 65 and have sold their homes, and have sunk their retirement savings into them just to keep the gas tank full. Not in my plans….

I think the other answerer to this question thought you were talking about RV’s. You are refering to modular/mobile housing correct? If you check at the mobile home park where you saw them for sale, you will find that they usually finance them there or that they have lenders who DO and WIll loan money on them to the “average joe”.

The interest would be insane because it is a bad investment. Don’t do it. Find something else.

I found a bank that specializes in them. I got one for under $80k where the median home price is $640,000 in my city. I think it is a great investment, IF it is in an expensive area. I had to put 20% down, you have to on a mobile home. I lived with friends for a few years and saved my money for the down. I also pay 8% interest. Space rent and a 30 year mortgage is less than $1200 a month. I couldn’t rent a 2 bedroom apartment for less than that! Plus when I sell I will get some of my money back. If you can afford $3000+ a month mortgage on a regular house, more power to you, but I can’t right now.
What kind of person am I? I’m 29 and a college grad with a professional job.
