You will have a hard time finding even a run down older mobile home for under 100k in most of the state and you will both likely take a significant pay cut moving here. We have a fairly high cost of living, especially housing, and fairly low wages.

I know. When we were looking in our part of the state, there were trailers selling for almost 200k. I wouldn't think anything below 100k is livable. Probably needs a lot of work.

Yeah, most of the under $100k houses are one step above condemned. I've even seen some listings that are for "as is" houses, and the previous owner was a garbage hoarder. Whole house is full of trash bags that you're on the hook for disposing of, hence the "as is".

Those can actually be good deals if the house itself is still fairly solid. But on a Tyvek suit, respirator, goggles and get to clearing. Or better yet pay a pro 5-10k to do it and disinfect the place. Then tear out any carpet, paint the walls and all that.

That's what we had to do to our 130k home. We're from here and it took a lot of work. Well worth it though
