what I didn’t figure out was, if they own the cottage free and clear, why on earth park it in a mobile home lot at $145/mo? why not plunk down another grand or so and buy an acre- free and clear? and then build out from the original 320 sqft - all free and clear?
I agree with the additional well known observation that the governments will still extract "rent" from you and try like heck to control your use.
