@Shaun Shiraishi, based on what you presented you can either get a nice place for you and your kids, or live inland and share your surroundings with three strangers (if you purchased a four-plex, lived in one and rented out three units).Putting family first I would do option 1.

The surrounding towns and cities have huge land development plans in the next few years also!

I’m out here trying to break ground out here in Kitsap and then venture out to the surrounding Washington state!

Mobile homes are typically cheaper to purchase, so it seems like they would be a good investment; however, as @Rachel H. stated, it probably totally depends on the neighborhood, condition of the home, and the surrounding area.

There are many factors that affect your costs, so you could average anywhere from $100-$140 psf on the same plan just based on site conditions, infrastructure needs, level of finish out, etc. 

We are currently in the process of looking into the real-estate market in Houston and Dallas along with surrounding areas.

I'm an local investor that invest in Detroit and the surrounding areas.

I’ll be monitoring the surrounding off-campus landscape along with development and valuation trends.

I’ve spent the last few months learning a great deal, and have done roofing, vinyl siding, painting, and deck building in the past.Does anyone in the Washtenaw county, MI (or surrounding) area have recommendations for what neighborhoods have treated them well?

Anyone holding or know of any good Multifamily deals in Pittsburgh, PA or surrounding markets?
