So we're trying to buy a new house. We're looking for a place with some land, ideally an acre or more, but definitely over 1/2 an acre - and on the outskirts of town, if not downright "out in the country."

This should be easy, given we have excellent credit and the houses we're looking at are way, way below our means. But many of the houses that fit our criteria are manufactured houses, and apparently post-crash those are pariah. Even though the primary property-of-interest is listed at a price slightly below my gross yearly salary. Sigh.

But we forge onwards!

There isn't much more to say (I don't want to get into linking Realtor.com listings or anything!) - other than "what a pain in the ass."
