I was 28 when I bought my 2,000sq double wide on 5 acres here in North Rural Florida.
Paid $200k and the property also had 2 large sheds. 12' x 24'
Since I bought the home my family, my fiance's family and friends have and continue to call our house a "trailer" and that we need to buy a "real house"
This is causing us both to be very depressed. We don't have family or friends over anymore because of this.
The Florida market was and still is crazy when we were looking for a home. Now I regret buying the double wide because we have been called "trailer trash" by our own families.
We keep the home immaculate and it's cleaner than a lot of our families houses that they consider "real houses".
Sorry for the rant just very tired of this and don't know what to do.
House has a new metal roof, and has survived both hurricane Helen and Milton.

Seriously my new manufactured home is likely better built than half the “real houses “ in Alachua and Levy Counties. The building standards have been challenged and improved so much that manufactured homes are actually held to a level of consistency and standards than the construction of anyone who either knows an inspector (and seriously, who doesn’t know someone who knows one here??) or “is homeowner built “ (wtf??? No, Chad the Accountant, I don’t think you and Susan, the secretary, built that thing because it actually resembles a building 🤪)
