<prompt> Human: Due to certain circumstances that I cant go into detai about, my mom is thinking of selling our house to buy a trailer home. She wants to buy one in order save up money since living expenses would be cheaper. Our house has been appraised at 220,000 and we still owe 50,000 on the house. Half of the profits will go to my mom so she will have 85,000 . Shes found a trailer home thats selling for about 30-35,000 so she plans on putting the remaining 50,000 as a downpayment for a new house which she would rent out. What I am wondering here is if this is a sound plan finiacally or if there is something better that can be done with the money we get from the sell. Ill include some details that I feel might be relevent. If additional details are needed let me knowHousehold members and incomeMom: 15hr or 28,000yrMe: 10.60hr plus tips or 30,000yr this is about what i made last two years Little Brother: Minor no income. 15yo  <response>: Why not get a multi unit property instead? Look into house hacking and a good resource on this is Bigger Pockets. My real big concern is that trailer are depreciating assets so she will not be able to recoup fully the cost of ownership.
