I've been renting (different places every few years as situations change) since 2008, this is actually the longest I've been in one apartment (since 2015) and I've decided it's time to stop throwing my money away at something I won't get anything back out of, so I intend on trying to work up to buy something before this summer.
As I have little saved up (see: renting, plus some COVID situations that I had to eat what little savings I did have), I gained some interest in a mobile home for sale in a park. It's actually a great looking place, in what looks to be damn good shape for a mobile home (mfg in 2017, so not that old). Wider than a single-wide, not quite a double-wide though. Perfect for a bachelor like myself who just needs some room for my cat to run around the house. I know there will be lot rent charges, and I understand the irony of wanting to get out of an apartment rent only to turn around and pay lot rent on top of a mortgage, but I think the mortgage and lot rent will break just about even with what I'm paying for apartment rent right now, maybe only slightly more.
My question, though, and what will ultimately probably make the decision for me whether to pursue this or move on and look elsewhere, is whether I'd also be responsible for property taxes on top of that. This is in New York State (western, between Buffalo and Rochester), if that affects anything.
