Mobile homes can be cheaper to live in instead of a site built home and one of those reasons for mobile homes being cheaper to live in is due to the real estate taxes.
On my site built home I was paying $4,000.00 per year in Real Estate taxes which was getting hard for me to pay so I moved into a mobile home after I bought some land and moved a used mobile home onto the land.
I paid $8,000.00 for the used mobile home which I would've paid in 2 years in Real Estate taxes on the site built home.
I paid $2,000.00 for the land the mobile home sits on.
So now I pay $40.00 per year in taxes on the land and only $60.00 per year for personal property taxes on the mobile home.
So in total I pay $100.00 per year in taxes to live in my mobile home instead of the site built home so that saves me $3,900.00 in taxes alone.
