<prompt> Human: I am 27, single and making approximately 24,000 a year, with no debt. I have just under 100,000 in savings and would like to move out of my apartment into something I can own. With my income and lack of any real credit history I believe it will be hard to qualify for a home loan, and also feel like even a small house might be too much space for just myself. I am considering buying either a condo or a mobile home, as I could pay cash and they would be much smaller. I know these dont appreciate like a house will, but is this still a good investment? I feel like not paying a monthly rent will offset anything lost in the sale down the road.Thank you, for your advice!  <response>: I know these dont appreciate like a house will, but is this still a good investment?No. Your best investment right now is in whatever it takes to increase your income, whether thats continued education, additional job training, or something else.
