Question: modular homes,trailer...

For all California homesteaders. Where did you buy your modular home,tiny house,trailer etc....
Looking to start saving for a decent one plus land. I'd prefer not to live in an rv on my own land. I dont feel it would be wise or safe.
So I'm trying to get an idea how much to save. I'm assuming delivery fees apply.

P.S buying land out here so so pricey. If it's cheaper to order out of state and have it delivered I'm open to the idea. I e already done some research. Figured I'd reach out for suggestions

Bonzi - A lot depends on how and where you live. If you spend most of your time outdoors then you need less of an indoor environment. Speaking from experience I have lived in recreational vehicles/trailers (RV) and spend the majority of my time living outside, using the inside for things such as cooking and bathing. That being said, is your climate conducive to year round outdoor living? Additionally, how many people will be living within your home? This also makes a big difference when choosing the type of structure you have.

There is something to be said, also, for a graduated increase in your living arrangements. Buy an older, yet fairly large (28 feet or greater) RV trailer, get your water/septic/power arrangements made, and live in it until you have saved enough money to transfer to/build a larger home. This way you can quickly begin living on your home place and then plan for the future. Just a thought...
