<prompt> Human: Im 30, and my partner and I make around 27,000 between the two of us, but we live extremely frugally and arent in any financial hardship. Weve got about 20,000 in liquid assets investments, savings, IRAs, and so on, which is more than most people our age.Ive been living in an apartment in the city for the last ten years at about 945 a month for the last five years. That doesnt include utilities, so well call the whole shebang around 1200 a month 945 200 for internet and electricity wiggle room. The place is a bit of a pit and gradually becoming a ghetto. We can break our lease pretty much any time, consequence free mostly because I suspect if we brought a building inspector in here, this place would be condemned. Weve come across a small mobile home around 975 square feet being sold by a day laborer about 14 minutes from where we live now. Not a big deal. Its in the middle of farm country, its beautiful, its quiet, and the place looks pretty nice. It was, however, built in the 60s. This guy has done a LOT of work on the place tilehardwood floors, oak cabinets, new wiring, cable internet and calculating our various expenses it looks like it would probably cost about 670 a month to live there lot rent, utilities, taxes, fees.Now, I could burn a significant amount of my savings and pay outright, because hes charging 13,000 for the deed. I havent gotten a mobile home inspector to take a look at the location, yet, but the neighborhood is mostly quiet, Hispanic familiesfarm labor for the local farms. Keep in mind, my complex is the source for most of the drugs in my end of the city and feral children roam the hallways, covering things in graffiti. That said, wed be buying it outright. 13,000 is a LOT of money, and it would wipe a big chunk out of my savings, not including the significant cost of movers because I live on the third floor. It would also be a bit of a drive to and from work for us more than 5,000 miles a year, versus 2,000 or less. Does anyone have any advice that might help? I feel like it would be a short term inconvenience for a long term benefit, but the economy could collapse this year. Im deeply conflicted.  <response>: My dad recently owned a mobile home park so I know a bit about them. Im assuming because of the price that the parks are similar in demographic and condition. First, there is virtually no market for used mobile homes. Bad economy or good economy, there are very few people that buy mobile homes in a park for that price range in that type of park. It will be very difficult for you to move. They cost 5,000 plus to move locations. Second, mobile home parks often have a high renter population which doesnt attract the best people. Third, crime and shady people will be a regular thing. Farm area means nothing to do which means drugs and alcohol. I would suggest finding a cheaper apartment. Maybe explore being a live-in apartment manager? Self storage properties often offer apartments to managers.
