I found a mobile home closer, it's right outside the town I work most of my jobs in.
It's newer module, but it's $68,000 then whatever it would cost for the fees (as it;s being sold by the owner).
This park the fees is $380 but includes septic (most don't and would cost extra), water (again most place cost extra), and snow removal.
Now to get a mortgage you need ot put 25% down which would be $17,000.

How nice. A treed area in a mobile home park, I hope this works out for you. Plus, snow removal as you need it where you live. :) I used to live in Canada and know what the snow is like there.
A friend of mine lives in a mobile home park and behind her is a wooded area. The homes surround a small lake and so, it is like living on a resort - all year round. She just loves living there. The photos remind me of her home and surrounding trees around her property.
Wishing you all the best.

Yes, it's an added bonus, and cheapier to live in a mobile home.
I think I would love living in this environemnt, I would perfer to be away from the neighbours, and have nature right there as it does back onto the river.
Plus, it's decent size, and the price isn't bad.

That's for this place, now imagine if you bought a house at $250,000 - $950,000 (that's what regular size houses cost) - now people wonder why I want to live in a trailer. They just past this law or rule, about a year ago so I need minimal $17,000 and I currently have $6,000 for my house fund, I don't want to touch my other savings.

It's a nice place and area but I wouldn't want to live in it. The rooms look to small and looks like it wouldn't be able to fit alot of people. But I guess for it just being you there it would be a perfect fit for you. Everything is always so expensive you almost have to be rich just to buy a house. Might as well rent or stay home long as you can.

Renting would cost even more than buying this place. So that is out of the question, you only rent if you don't have the credit, or your on welfare.
It would just be me and the animals, it would be big enough for me, and it has a small lot which doesn't need much work.

If you really like it and finance it, why not? As long as you are going to stay in one place for a while, a mobile home can work. You can easily spend that much in rent over the span of about five-to-six years.
Hopefully, you can get into this or another place soon so that you have your own space and can do what you want. I think that you will find a lot of things to be much easier once you're in your own space.

That is a very nice mobile home. And the price is also decent especially since its near the river. For something like that here you would pay 4x that amount. Do you know if its electric furnace or oil? If oil it could get quite expensive especialy in winter

I like this one. But in the discription, it says it's freehold, nothing about park fees.

Honestly, the only thing that I can say that I really like about that particular home is that I really like the lot that it sits on. Other than that, it seems like an awful lot of money to pay for something that is that small. You see, we bought our house for just a couple thousand dollars more than they are asking for this particular home and though our house does still need some work, it is a lot more spacious than that and we don't have to pay any kind of lot fees because we not only own the house, we also own the land that our home sits on.
