Need housing for under $15,000 can i build or should i buy a used mobile home?

Answer 1

you could build for $15,000.00 but you will need friends and family to help with the labor.you could also build a cob house pretty cheaply.

Answer 2

If you are asking if you can build a house for $15,000 the answer is a very, very small one. Do you own the lot? Mobile home may be the way to go at this point.

Answer 3

where do you live. there is now way in **** that i could build a house for that and i can do all the work myself. i live on vancouver island. i couldnt even buy the materials for that amount. even to buy a old run down mobile will cost you 100,000 plus just for the mobile no land. .I just renovated a batheroom that cost me 6000 just for the materials. keep in mind i gutted it and replaced everything to what i wanted. could of got away with about 5000 if i did it cheaply and had a everyday run of the mill batheroom.
for 15,000 the only thing one could get here is an old beat up run down R.V. that would need a bunch of work.

Answer 4

I would also say a mobile home is the best option at this point. The only thing to consider is where you will park it. Most trailer parks charge a monthly maintenance, or land lease of at least $200 - $500. You should make sure to look into any monthly parking fees before commiting.

Good luck!

Answer 5

You could buy one, but you would most likely have to pay cash because banks will not finance an older mobile home, and it will cost you a bundle to insure it.

Answer 6

if you purchase a mobile home, understand a couple of things. first they depreciate a lot just like a car. they will NOT build escrow! also depending on where you live they can be VERY expensive to insure!!
