<prompt> Human: My husband and I are thinking of moving soon. We live in the California Bay Area and are looking at our options.Right now we are paying 1600month for renting a townhouse.1 We could move into another apartment for around 1300month rent.2 We can buy a mobile home for 50-90k. LandHOA fees are around 700month.3 We can buy a townhousecondo for around 180-250k. HOA fees are around 200-400month.What makes the most sense to do financially? We have 55k currently in savings accounts and another 55k in mutual funds. Does it make sense to buy a mobile home in cash? Or should we be better leveraging our liquid cash instead? All 3 options are around the same in quality and location.  <response>: Definitely do not buy a mobile home! They do not give you any real equity and are much harder to sell later on.
