[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 2056553, member: 8119"] I agree with most post so far. If you're approaching this as a long-term investment - then a real house is the only option. Upfront costs aside - other things to consider is reselling: Mobile homes and non-typical construction (pre-fab/modular/underground/container/etc) are very difficult to SELL (most buyers don't want it) - and more importantly - it's also difficult for the buyer to get a LOAN for (which may kill any sale or at least reflect in the selling price). If the short-term budget is the problem, then the idea of building the barn with a livable area is a viable move. It's a good excuse to 'justify' building a larger barn and the livable area is also good for later on when you kick the kids out!. [/QUOTE]
