As I learn more about real estate, my thoughts continually go back to the analytics behind various investments and geographic areas.

Less interest is paid on the mobile home and condo, but condos may typically appreciate less than houses and mobile homes even less.I am not considering the amount of the payments that contribute to equity as a cost.Lower appreciation and interest are two costs, but a third is opportunity cost, which is the amount that the down payment would return if invested instead of being used as a down payment.The down payment for a house would be much larger than for a mobile home and therefore would have a much higher opportunity cost.I understand that there are many variables at play with these decisions such as historical appreciation of each type of property, estimates of future appreciation, mortgage rates vs stock returns, geographical area, etc.I just want to know the rank of each type of property in cost when appreciation, opportunity cost, and interest are summed given reasonable estimates of each variable.Thanks for any replies.

I've planned for a while to put up my own website, starting with this round of three projects going up for sale, where I would have detailed descriptions of each of my active listings, along with pictures.

Now all I gotta do is read it..Here is the Craigslist description of what I purchased:Complete set of Florida contracting books.

Even if you change the description value, the name of the field will always be the original.  

It's all great geographic location for freeway access to Peninsula and downtown SF.

Any serious buyer will be able to give you a detailed description of the type of property they are buying in a few minutes. 

Don't limit yourself geographically, because the piece of information you need might be MA specific, not Fitchburg specific. 

Then you can search by the owner's name or the lot and block description, or both.

Also set up keyword alerts for you geographical area.
