> Never claimed them to be. "The cheap, affordable, practical house has been invented: its called a trailer park. The question is simply how to market them." Perhaps I misinterpreted? > In my view, its no worse than the deals given on a Condo with $hundreds in HOA fees. Trailer Homes tend to be much cheaper than most Condos packages too. Not saying condos are worth it, but this isn't a fair comparison. Condos make sense in some circumstances-- they do retain some equity so you're not just hemorrhaging rent money, and the community shares the cost of significant repairs. If you can get a decent one and live in it for a few years without getting hit by a special assessment, they're a viable alternative to renting long-term. Buying into a trailer park only makes sense if you consider all of your income disposable and intend to die there. They're poor investments. There's no such thing as a good or bad deal on something so worthless.
