I personally think mobile homes are awesome, and a great way to go if you're into homesteading... because a lot more people can afford to buy one outright and become truly independent, than can afford a stick built home.

Two years ago we bought a double wide. It sits on a small piece of property that we rent for the moment... the house is 1350 square feet and in the next five years we will be moving the house to our property. So the house is paid for.. the property will be paid for in cash... we have about 60 months to continue socking away the money for the property.
As you said, we were able to pay cash for the house. It was made in 2005 so considering all the house out there, it is still fairly new.
We've already gotten some vague pricing on moving the house to the general area we are looking at property and considering what we saved on a mortgage, property taxes now, etc.. the cost to move this home is pretty cheap.
Nice! That's a good way to go!
