[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a great income. If you want a SFH, this one in Arlington is well below your budget and is still in decent shape. For $875K, you get a small 3BR, 2BR home.

lol, at $350K the OP must be something like a lawyer, doctor, executive, etc. Could you really see someone that important living in that shack?[/quote]

If they are a smart "important person," they will realize that their value doesn't depend upon their possessions and they don't need to impress others with the size of their house. This is a very affordable house on a $300K+ salary and OP will be able to save and invest the difference between a smaller mortgage on this property versus a $1.5M home mortgage.

To answer the other question on this house, I don't think it's a manufactured home. However, I noticed that it doesn't sit on a concrete slab. It uses a concrete perimeter foundation, which I think is also called pier and post. I don't know enough about home foundations to say whether that a major negative or not.

I choose this house because it's in a great zip code, improving micro-neighboorhood (Halls Hill), affordable one-level SFH. I just moved to this same zip code last year and bought a $500K condo, but would have loved to have afforded a small house like this.[/quote]
