I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I can try to buy a house if a mortgage would be cheaper than rent?

I was thinking about buying one of those mobile homes. I wonder if a mortgage is cheaper than renting would be. I'd be a first time home buyer so I think theres programs for that.

There's a good bit to consider. But assuming you could get something you could afford monthly payments on then you'd have something that you could sale if you needed to and get a return. But then it's a headache having to deal with all your own repairs or even to find someone to do those things. Still I think if you can withstand it then it's a great way to make yourself financially better in the long run.
