Thanks. I hadn't heard it referred to as a "Perk" but definitely would be checking into the septic. Goodness so many things to question, I will certainly be copying this entire thread before we go shopping.

Yes, my sister's property was like that. There was a old mobile home on it and it could stay but no new ones could be added. In fact, by the time they got around to building even the house zoning had changed and they had to have their blue prints revised.

We have about a year before we get serious about signing.. we have to sell at least one of our houses and fingers crossed that that happens quickly. We will use that money to buy the land and trailer, then sell our second house. This is a huge move for us though and hopping out into the unknown. It will be nice though to have what we've alway dreamed of.

You are right too about the double wide. My current house is a 2 br. ranch with a basement and porch on the front of the house. Questions come up already about where I'm going to line dry my clothes in the winter, storage for yard equipment, fencing for our dogs and garden.

Land here too is more expensive than I thought. 1-2 acres so far $18,000 to $24,000. We are trying to find in the range of $10,000 or less. As I believe Ronsan mentioned, we are trying to stay in the range of $50,000 or less total. We do not want to go in debt.
