<prompt> Human: Shes hoping to have the mobile home until my grandparents pass away and then sell it for a profit. She has no idea how mobile homes work and thinks they will appreciate in value while I think they will depreciate in value after being lived in.On top of the 200k, the mobile home requires a land cost fee of 1200 or so each month that my grandparents would pay. This fee doesnt go towards owning anything and is similar to monthly rent. My issues with this are that I am currently in college and my sister will be going to college in 6 years. My parents are paying for both of our tuitions. And while my dad is currently making a high salary, his salary varies from year to year and his health may prevent him from working for more than 5 years into the future. As much as I dont want her to purchase the mobile home, she feels the duty to and I dont think Ill be able to change that feeling. We live in the Bay Area, California if thats helpful.  <response>: If she thinks mobile homes appreciate in value, challenge her to find an older model mobile home that has been sold for more than it originally cost... but I wouldnt hold your breath while she searched.
