Most of us are not ready for something like this, and it obviously does not work if you have kids. You have to question the wisdom of doing this if you have no land to park it on. You could also argue that for $700 (not too much more that what they are willing to pay for rent to park the place), you can rent a 1 bedroom apartment (larger than this cottage).....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('74930','Cheap South',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('74930','Cheap South','I\'ve been reading more and more about this type of \"housing\".
