I could see that in some states, pretty much not anywhere on the West coast, at least not a house you could live in.

$25,000 - 1966 mobile home. But you can’t get traditional financing on a mobile home that old because they aren’t worth anything.

$60,000 - 1997 mobile home, same deal.

27.5 year limit. So anything older than January, 1997.

In both those cases you still have to pay one thousand dollars in rent every month to the actual property owner, so I don’t know if I would call that home ownership except only in the most generous sense.
