Buying a Mobile Home

My husband and I started looking for a home to purchase in early February but didn't seriously start the "looking" until we had officially sold our home in Arkansas which was in May.

We looked at over a dozen homes in the London Area and we couldn't find even one that both of us liked. If one of us liked a home the other one had something about the home that we didn't like, we were just about to give up completely when my husband called me from work one day. He had seen a home for sale by owner that he thought we should take a look at.

One of the things that we couldn't agree upon was that my husband wanted something way out in the country where we didn't have anyone else around us and I wanted something closer to town. The other area that we couldn't agree upon was the size of the home, he wanted a "small" home and I wanted one with some room, especially since we had two teenage boys living in the same house for at least another two years.

We drove out to the house that he had seen late that night when he got home from work. The first thing I noticed was it was out in the country but not too far, it was only about four miles from town but would still be considered to be in the country. When we drove up to the home, I honestly didn't think too much about it. It wasn't fancy or anything but did have some land with it and a nice large swimming pool in the back yard. We walked around the home and in all honesty I couldn't tell if it was a mobile home or what I call a modular home, which is a different kind of home no matter what people will try to tell you.
My husband called the number on the sign outside and arranged for us to take a look at the inside of the home.
