Is it a feasible idea to put up a mobile home on a lot I buy?

Not only is it feasible, its highly probable.
I would imagine the cost to be between none and more than none.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Bill

Probably the cost of the lot, the home, and hooking up utilities. Let us know if you have any other financial questions.

I own a 13 acre slice of heaven in the midst of nowhere that I inherited. It appraised at $140K. It's old pastures and 8 acres of trees bordering 30000 acres of federal property. We go camping, hunting, and fishing and love the place so I recently checked into it myself. Aside of the cost of the house the figures were the salesperson pulling numbers out of thin air...while trying to make a sale....so I'm sure they're a bit on the low side.

*(USD)

>House 84000
Not bad, I can do that.
>Foundation (basement) 10000
Well, it does double the size of the house, we are in tornado alley, so ok. Yeah, we can do that.
>Septic 8000
Gotta have it
>Driveway (rock and fabric) 4000
Christ, really? That much?
>Electric to house 2000
>Water to house 3000
>Proper back porch 4000
>Proper front porch 4000

So that $84000 house costs about $130000 at a minimum with the salesman pulling numbers out of his ass without having to purchase the property. No garage, no outbuildings, no concrete parking spot, no sidewalks, no landscaping, no gutters, no grass, no trees, no fences....130K to be one of those people with a modular house plopped into the middle of what used to be a pasture.

Wife just reminded me of something. Those figures were with me doing all the backhoe work myself, tiling the driveway for drainage, digging the basement, and leveling the build site.

>add $10000 because I don't work for the farm that has that equipment anymore.

Buy a Tuff Shed (or similar building) and upcycle it into a home. You can find many videos on YouTube by others who have already done it.

>>884661
This is about right, just the cost of the home varies greatly. You can get a liveable, small trailer for $15K, or spend $300k on a custom built modular home.

Figure about $40k without the cost of the home.

You need a well for waterm, spetic, and electric run to the property. You'll need a foundation, or a basement if you're smart. You can out a trailer on a gravel pad and save money, but I wouldn't advise it.

>>884691
>the cost of the home varies greatly
Absolutely. There was a repo we looked at for 35K. Still needed the rest of the shit and was out of the question. We've got a cabin (the kind like you'd see in the parking lot of a store for sale) out there now. When the kids move out we've toyed with the idea of moving into it to save up the money and make it happen.

>>884628
Check with the county for zoning plus local ordinances. My county charges $8,000 for a mobile home permit and it has a year cutoff on age of trailer. There is also a wait time while they decide if they let you put a mobile on your land even if zoning allows.

Some states won't allow this anymore, like Montana.

How much money do you have?

Just buy a nice piece of land and then buy a fully decked out yurt. A really nice insulated yurt will run you around 10-15k. I guess you could get a nice little trailer for about 15k as well.

You better have well over 100k to even start thinking about buying land and putting your own house/modular home on it.

Just found 2 acres for $21K.

Counted cash yesterday = $27K.

Nice area, good access, concerned about cc&r's now. Might cruise the neighborhood next.

2 acres for 20k? That's pretty expensive, ive seen 10-20 acres for that much. Just gotta give up the freedom live living near a major hub.

Engineer who paid off his student loans fifteen years ago but since you have no actual argument it doesn't really matter. Upgrading a shed as you have the money to do so is fiscally responsible for those with simple needs. Not everyone needs a 800 sq ft kitchen to show off.

I know people that converted pole barns into houses for <$50K but living in a shed is absolutely pathetic. There are people making $1 a day in 3rd world countries living a better life than you.

>>884777
Neets can't live independently so their parent's basement is a more natural location for them. What you're looking at is called a 'Cuck Shed'. To save you a Google search, it's a place a married man goes to be out of the way while his wife has sex with another man.

I live in the middle of nowhere. Land 10 years ago was dirt cheap. You could buy land for $1k an Acre all day. $2k an acre was expensive.

Then they found natural gas. Pretty much my County was the epicenter of where they really started drilling. Now you can't touch an acre for less than $20K if you want any mineral rights.

Problem is, if you buy land without the mineral rights, the gas company can level most your land and put a compressor station in it at any time, and you get nothing.

I live in a mobile home on 1.8 acres. I spent $79K total on a 3 bedroom single wide, land, hookups, etc. but the land already had utilities and all on it. If you're buying remote land, it'll cost extra to get it zoned and residential ready.

>>884628
It depends on the location. Most city jurisdictions wouldn't allow it, but if you buy land in a rural county, you should be able to. Expect to spend ~$100K tops. You can get a brand new single wide for ~$45K and then say $20-30K for land. Then getting utilities hooked up, a deck for the front and back door, a shed for storage, etc. You could buy an older trailer for much less but they're money pits. Newer homes aren't much better. Expect to be replacing one every 15-20 years. If you are handy and/or know some friends or family in the trades, you could build a small cabin which would last much longer.

>>884661
I forgot about driveway and foundation. You could just it on cinder blocks depending on codes, or a concrete slab.

>>884682
Take that autistic meme shit to /diy/. They "love" those threads. There's nothing wrong with building tiny homes or converting barns, but converting a shed is humiliating and retarded.

>>884735
Yurt living is impracticable. I've known a couple and guy that tried Yurt living. Neither of them lasted longer than 2 years before selling or building a permanent home.There's also laws in many places about living in a "temporary" structure.

>>884691
What's wrong with a gravel pad? If the trailer has an I beam frame and rests on piles, it's easy to level the trailer after it settles

>>884793
So? If all you need is a shed, then why get more? How would it personally embarrass you if someone were to live in a nice little home made out of a shed? It's not like you can't upgrade it to be nice inside, like a regular home.

Why? Dig a crawl space and put in a stem wall.

Use the concrete for parking, don't cover it with a prefab/mobile.

>>884682
I never understand the fascination with upgrading prefab garden sheds to tiny houses.
I guess it's because people with no skills can do it and think they found some kind of hack.
Every time someone suggests this it seems that just building a small house would be a better idea.

Not an argument. Come back with facts once your period is over and your emotions are under control. Your posts keep boiling down to "how dare anyone like what I don't like".

1) Cost of land.
2) Cost of septic system install (if not already present).
3) Cost of mobile home.
4) Cost of mobile home transport / setup. (Some dealers even include this free I have heard...)

You're looking at between $50k and $150k, if you're not buying really valuable land, and not buying a really expensive trailer.

Not where I'm at, too rocky. Further down in the valley are fields and MASSIVE green houses. Climate is mild if not hot. My windows have been open all night since Sept. Raised garden beds and green houses are indicated. Cash crop is pot. Easy to supplement veggies.coworker has bumper crop cuccumbers. I had gourds volunteer this year and last.

Coyotes and pronghorns are common, like daily.

Took this today of one of my neighbors. For a small lot and a small trailer, I like his setup.

>>885657
Comfy modest life. I'd rather live somewhere where I could farm though. How productive are the raised beds?

Why not buy a regular home?

My house is 3 beds 2.5 baths. I wanted that because it has a master bath, full bath for 2 spare bedrooms, then a half bath for guest. Living room/dining room is one big room for open concept. Then it has a full finished basement where I have laundry, water heater, etc. Right now it's just storage space. I use one spare bedroom for my office and the other is also storage. When or if I ever get married and have kids, I'd have 2 so they each have their own room. Convert the basement to my office on one end and play area on other end.

The land is also pretty decent. It's only 0.9 acres but suites my needs. I have a 2 car garage that holds all my fishing gear and home gym. Then have a small shed for my lawn mower and yard shit. Besides that, it has a long drive way and extends to the side of the 2 car garage where I keep my boat. I plan on planing a bunch of fruit trees and a raised bed garden. My plans at least. I'm extremely lazy during football season.

I only paid $213K for this place a few years ago and it's already worth $240K. I put $50K down and live comfortably off ~$2.7K take home a month.

I'm at a friends house near Salida, CO, its backyard is hundreds of thousands of Rio Grande national forest with alpine tundra mountains, across the road are smaller mountains with dense pine and aspen forests and juniper savannahs. The property is 42 acres in a valley with a big field and a nice creek running through it. Down the road is are the Sam Luis valley and sangre de cristo mountains and its about 30 minutes from salida which is a decent sized town with lots of shopping. Yet this place is right next to the wilderness, the neighbors are all at least half a mile away and you can see lots of stars at night and lots of wildlife. It has two house, the main one is 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, solidly built, only a few decades old, has full electric and heat and sewage. Probly a few square thousand feet. The second house is a bit smaller but not bad either. There's a garage, large sheds, greenhouse, and a horse pen. And the guy who owns it wants to sell it for 270k. So my point is, you can get really good deals on houses that are very rural and outdoors if you want to. If my friend doesn't buy this house ill post the craigslist ad on here and see if any of you autists want it next spring cus its pretty fuckin sweet.

I started working at 19 and had ~$130K saved by the time I was 24. I put $50K down when I was 25. I'm 27 now. I'm supervisor at a distribution center. Work 3 days a week 12 hour shifts. And then also do bookkeeping/accounting stuff for my Dad's janitorial business. I really made no sacrifices. I bought a truck and boat beforehand. I still have a big safety net. I invest $250 every month, go fishing every weekend, vacations 2-3 times a year, etc. It's not difficult to budget. People think they need six figures to live on their own when they really don't.

Manufactured Homes are horrible investments and only lose value like cars. buy a used one, build an outhouse, driveway will create itsself if you visit often. then Drop gravel when the soil is compacted and grass doesn't grow well in the tracks. That's your cheapest method.
