I got a job offer in the Brainerd Lakes area of Minnesota, which I'm seriously considering. We've always had it in the back of our heads to move north and get out of the Minneapolis area. We're thinking about possibly buying land, like about 15-25 acres and dropping a mobile home on it. What are the pros and cons, and what should we look for and avoid. It gets pretty cold up here in the winter, so what steps must be taken to keep the plumbing from freezing. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We're open to single wide or double wide models too.
Jeff,
Good luck with whatever you decide on.
I think you'll find that for what you're going to pay for 15 - 25 acres of land in the Brainerd lakes area would go a long ways towards a stick built house or an existing house on a smaller lot.
