<prompt> Human: Hi everyone,So I have been in the market to purchase my first house for maybe the last 6 months or so.My question is, what are the downsides to buying a mobile home on a plot of land? They seem to be a lot less money, and they tend to come with a ton of land.As far as I can tell, I can get a solid 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom mobile for around 150,000.00, but a house that would be comparable would be a lot more money. Say closer to 300,000.00 - 350,000.00Assistant: Well how much land are we talking?If youre in a trailer park, then you would have to pay fees for that every month, but it doesnt sound like this is that type of situation.Theres a stigma behind it, of course. To that, Id say that if youre happy, and its saving you potentially 150k or more, screw what other people think.I guess something to be concerned about is that it MIGHT not be as well insulated as a regular single detached, so if youre talking about an area that gets cold, you might run the risk of your pipes freezing in the winter. My sister in-law lives in a trailer in the mountains, and has been through that once or twice. Other than that, she loves it.Human: Well how much land are we talking?An acre or more. I have seen these things, and wow, do they look good.If youre in a trailer parkThis wouldnt be my first option, as I really dont care for trailer parks.Theres a stigma behind it, of courseYour telling me, when my pops first brought this to my attention, I was like, no way, but then I started looking...MIGHT not be as well insulated as a regular single detached,I live in AZ, so not a problem.Thanks a lot.  <response>: Insulation matters as much in a hot arid climate as it does in a cold climate. In Arizona the insulation will keep the heat out of the house and save on the AC bills. Heat can be hell on interior finish materials.
