Should My Roommate And I Buy A Mobile Home?
A friend of mine is selling her trailer that she used to live in before she moved to another one. I’m almost thinking my roommate and I should buy the mobile home. I know it’s older, probably mid-eighties ish, but she’s selling it for $4000, which I would be able to pay cash. The park has a rent of $250 a month, but since I’m buying the trailer outright, that’s the only rent I would have to pay, plus heat and electric. Right now we’re have a small apartment for $600 monthly rent, plus heat and electric, in a nosy building with no pets… So it seems like a good option. What are the pros and cons of buying mobile homes and does it seem like a good idea? (FYI, my roommate and I have been living together for years and it isn’t so much as a roommate situation as a partnership – we even have a joint bank account, so I’m not worried about that at all)
