After my recent divorce and in preparation for retirement, I am looking for a small, cheap place with a little land. A mobile home would not be a disqualification, but things would have to be very desperate for me to live in a mobile home park.

Just make sure it’s on a masonry foundation with support piers in the crawlspace, with tiedown straps for protection in high wind. If it doesn’t have a good foundation with tiedowns they’ll roll or go airborne pretty easily in a downburst or heavy straight line wind. You want a pitched roof, too, otherwise you’ll be dealing with leaks eventually. You can find such properties all around the south in more rural areas for a pretty cheap price, but you don’t want one that’s been heavily neglected. If it looks too cheap compared to comparable properties for sale, there’s likely a very good reason.
