<prompt> Human: Ive been thinking about purchasing a mobile home, and I have heard in the past about how they are not a good investment and such, but I think in my particular situation it might not be such a bad idea, so I just want to get some feedback and see what others think.First off, Im currently living with my grandparents. They have a nice house, and they are going to leave it to me after they are deceased. Secondly, they are getting up there in age, and my grandmother in particular needs a lot of attention, so I need to stay close so I could at least check in on them once a day.Now, it just so happens that they have a small strip of land right beside their property. Its not large enough for a nice house, but a mobile home could fit on there, or maybe a small house thats about the size of a mobile home. They would probably give me that land for free or at least at a good price.The land is seriously small, so I doubt a home larger than a single-wide mobile home could fit on it. Would it still be better for me to consider a teeny-tiny house, or will a mobile home be a good option?  <response>: If there is any zoning where you live, you probably cant drop a mobile home there. As an investment, I dont think it would be that create. Mobile homes kind of wear out and since the construction is kind of cheesy and oddball, they are hard to fix. I own 3 of of them. You can buy one pretty cheap though. The last one I bought was 2x6 framed and heavily insulated for cold winters and it was only 5K. It cost me maybe 12K to get it moved, set, plumbed, wired, skirt board, etc. I was moving it to a place that already had water, sewer, gas though. I had to get the electric rerun.
