    I dunno if it can be considered a "Viable Long-term Solution" if they're building a new house on the same property.

    My ex-inlaws did pretty much this over the course of several years. They built out what was basically a large metal shed on a concrete slab, sectioned off the back area with a kitchen/bathroom/etc. on a property they had. It gave them a chance to save up for building a new house. So, it was husband, wife, and youngest daughter all together.

    They ended up getting a nice manufactured home installed on the property and moved into it.

      Why did they end up getting a manufactured home instead? What was the reasoning behind their decision do you know?

        I think the original plan was to build a house from scratch. However, it ended up being cheaper to go with a manufactured home, instead.
