My wife and I just married and are looking to buy our first home. Her family has plenty of land where we'd like to move eventually and were having trouble deciding between stretching our budget to stick build, or getting more house for our money in a manufactured home. I'm looking long-term here, so I gues my real question is: If we took proper considerations before buying a MH (materials used, durability, etc.) is it reasonable to expect it to last the next 20..30..or 40 years?
We've talked about several options, the main ones being buying a smaller MH until we can build, or just buying the size house we really want right off the bat in a MH. Although there are alot of stereotypes down here in MS, I dont have any prob with MHousing itself. I also don't have a fear of DIY projects either (worked in contruction for few months). And as far as investments go, if we bought the size MH we want, we'd be there on our land forever. Just wondering what my expectations should be.
Thanx in advance for any help...and sry for the long story
