You need fewer bills and debts. --- End quote --- ^this - depending on where you live buy a piece of property you like and get a small dwelling ( mobile home/trailer/camper depending on wht fits your needs best and budget) With buying the land you know what the monthly costs will be and can always build a house on it later if you find the mobile home doesn't suit you -- Not sure where you are but 150K for a used double wide is high - Unless it comes with a property it is placed on. (as ARK said --- "with nobody to sell it to unless you find a sucker." -- Don't be the sucker he is talking about in this scenario by buying the old one someone else is trying to unload !! ) - One thing to keep in mind is sometimes it is cheaper to buy one from the Mobile Home factory even if it is out of state and have it moved to you rather than buying one local - and the benefit to that is you can have it partially built to your specification ( ie. if you want 2 full Master suites at the two ends of the thing or 1 master and a couple smaller rooms - etc. ) |

Honestly the increase in your property value is not so you can come out ahead it is just so you can break even with inflation every year. Federal Reserve prints and pumps out more money into the economy based on nothing, as a result every year money becomes 3 to 5% more worthless than the year before. That’s the reality of are debt based economy, only way to combat that is to put your money into something with a track record of increasing in value every year. |

Damn son. I can get a mansion around here for 150k. Cost of living is low. I would be looking at 20-30k for a double wide. But pay is low here as well so there's that. |
