[QUOTE="arkmark, post: 2058098, member: 26338"] If your looking at land that already has a livable mobile on it you can't go wrong, move in and if you still want a stick built house you've got the land to do it on and you can do it pay as you go and owe nothing on it and then sell the mobile when the house is done. Mobile do require a bit more care than a stick built home but as long as you take care of it, it will serve you well. My only gripe about mobiles is that everything is irregular sized, doors windows all your plumbing fittings and such are not standard size so their is no running to lowes and getting replacement stuff. I replaced the exterior deadbolt on mine and learned that even the backset for the locks and doorknobs is different. Other than that I love my home its 10 years old and doing fine. make sure your setup is done good so that you don't get water runoff underneath, and that you have good ventilation under it, moisture under a mobile is the biggest issue you will run into, thats what rots the floors out.
