Any good/bad experiences with purchasing mobilehomes.repairs/fees

Seems the majority of homes in my target price range of under 150k are mobile homes in a community. I plan to rent the property. Mainly wondering if its a good first "type" of house to buy. Being that it seems more susceptible to repairs. Then again I don't know too much about mobile homes  (should consider buying one then?). Any surprises that come with mobile homes that are not typical to a usual home? Does this community provide property management (with a fee?) or is that up to me to provide/ hire? 

There are other houses that are not mobile home units in my price range, however they are much older/need repairs/bad neighborhood/etc.. So contemplating going with a nicer looking not so bad of an area mobile home. 

Any wisdom and advice is much appreciated! Thank you!
