If you put yourself in the rational consumer’s shoes, you would consider the total cost of each of the following housing options:A) a monthly mortgage payment + utilities + insurance + taxes on a single family home that you buyB) a monthly rental payment + utilities on a 3 bedroom single family home that you rent C) a monthly rental payment + lot rent + utilities on a 3 bedroom mobile home rental that you rent D) a monthly mortgage payment + lot rent + utilities + insurance + taxes on a 3 bedroom mobile home that you own (own the home and rent the land)A deal breaker for me is a situation where there’s <$200 spread between options A/B and C/D.

Collegeville, Pottstown, Royersford, King of Prussia, Pennsburg, East Greenville?   

Here in California the tax assessments often times way off from what the home is worth (Because they only get initially assessed at the point of sale.

Beer has the highest ROI.Good thing you're there in CA and I am in OH.
