possibilities for used MHs in your area, and sounds like you already know the direction you're going.
But fwiw, in Florida where we have a snowbird place, many people are always trying to sell nice MHs that are in parks with heavy monthly space rents and fees. They no longer want or need the MHs and really need to stop those bills for hundreds of dollars every month. As a result, the prices asked for the units themselves are often very, very low, far below anything available through a dealer.
There might be fewer where you are, but wherever people are renting the land, someone's going to be needing to sell their unit. They don't advertise for people to purchase the unit and haul away, MHs are always offered as if glued to the lot, but the parks have no rights over them and buyers can just have them loaded up and moved out.
We almost went that way. We didn't, but I'm happy knowing that if we somehow lost our home and were close to destitute I could use our last thousands to choose a nice home and a nice place to put it, someplace pretty with nice neighbors where we'd be happy living.
Btw, if we'd purchased outside the county and brought it in, it would have had to be a newer one that met current codes and thus was more expensive. But if we purchased within our county, anything that met occupancy standards was legal. I saw local single wides in good condition for $3-6K. Transportation costs were so low compared to the great deals being offered around the state, though, that I was about to consider units hundreds of miles away from our lot.
Hope your life is comfy and back to normal very soon.
