Almost no chance the land is owned. You don't buy lots in most trailer parks, you rent them. And that trailer is worth about 3grand on the open market (which he could never afford to tow off the lot, negating any value it had), has no heat or AC, the floor has failed in the bathroom, and the walls are starting to bulge from mould. But the lot rental is cheap, and the trailer was left behind when pa drank himself to death at 37.

Yup, but he owns it without a mortgage, probably owns the land it's on, and his taxes are half of mine. So...

I grew up in a trailer and I would not recommend them to anyone. They’re poorly manufactured with cheap materials and begin showing wear and tear quicker than the average house.

Lived in some truly shitty houses. One was condemned the minute I moved out and we had had to cut glass and put windows in when we got there. But it was more or less in one piece.
Lived in a trailer for 5 years before getting this Habitat home. God. Damn. Hated it. It was in fair condition to begin with, but everything just fell apart. Damn near burned down one night when the HVAC electrical started burning through the insulation. All that and yet we had a great landlord!
Nothing is standard vs. a regular house, everything is harder to repair, and ironically costs more to repair. I’d do it again if I lost this house though. Wouldn’t take an apartment, no way.
