I guess I failed to mention that I would be putting it on private land

Assuming the land is yours or you have made other arrangements, that avoids the
rent issue.

and on a permanent foundation.

Ummm, I assume you mean a concrete slab with cinderblock skirting?

In any case, unlike traditional housing, a trailer will do nothing but
depreciate. You would be far better off financially by using your financial

and other assistance programs available.

The decision is obviously yours, but you need to go into it with the facts.
