Buying a mobile home in Massachusetts?

[Russ Draper]

Hoping someone can clarify this for me, I'm trying to avoid having to pay a lawyer if I can.

Has anyone bought a mobile home in MA and what is the process?  They don't seem to be treated as vehicles, they don't seem to be real estate, so what are they?  How do I go about paying tax after the purchase?

There aren't a lot of mobile homes here in MA as far as I can tell, searching the forums didn't yield much (or I wasn't searching for the right keywords).
