I am ready to plunge into the real estate market, and was wondering what the pros and cons of buying a manufactured home rather than a condo or townhome would be. Here in CA, a typical 1300 sq ft three bed/two bath mobile home in my area goes for about 0k – roughly half the price of a 0k 600 sq ft one bed/one bath condo. I realize that with mobile homes, one has to pay rent on the space- but condos and townhomes pay similarly priced HOA dues every month. I am a single guy in my early 40s. Any advice would be greatly appreciated- thanks!
Are the utilities already ready for a mobile home to be put on it?

I live in a house and have more land behind the house. This house has been here for 30 years. I want to put a mobile/ manufactured home behind my current home. Is there already electricity & water – useable or will I ahve to arrange to have these put on the land again? Also what about the septic tank?

I wanted to buy a house and signed the "Purchase Order-New Manufactured Home" (it is not signed by DEALER) but I changed my mind and don’t want to buy it anymore. Also the loan has been approved. Can I still revoke the offer to purchase and not sign the loan??

Loan is not signed, and escrow either.

How do I search for a MOVABLE mobile or manufactured home?

How do I find a used manufactured home that is not attached to a particular address already? I cant seem to come up with the right keywords to take me to a dealership, or whatever you call them. I tried "used" "pre-owned" "Pre-fab" "Manufactured" "Mobile" "House" "Home" "for sale" and every combination therein. I have a lot of land I want to put a house on, and am not trying to move into a mobile home park!
