<prompt> Human: Im a single male in my late 20s. I take home about 5k a month with about 50k in savings. I currently pay 1,550 rent for a studio. No debt other than 9k car loan with very low interest. Ive pretty given up on the dream of owning a tradition home here so Ive been looking into mobile homes.They seem to range from 100k to 300k depending on the zip code. Ive also considered the space rent of 1-2k a month. Some people say that mobile homes are a bad investment in that they actually depreciate in value. But I think real estate in the Bay Area in unique in that everything is rising. My brother bought a mobile home for 50k from someone who bought it for 26k. My brother later sold it for 129k. This was over a span of a few years.Lastly, if I were to go for it how should I approach the asking price? Underbid, overbid, or offer exactly the asking price?Anyway, Im about to make the biggest investment of my life and I wont want to get screwed.  <response>: Dont believe the hype that real estate always goes up. Bookmark this comment and lets see what really happens in the next 5 years.I personally think the Bay Area is way overheated based on incomes.
