The most common reason people buy them is the cost. It is, generally, much less expensive than traditional housing. Unfortunately, as the saying goes; "You Get What You Pay For". In order to keep the prices low, the homes are made with lower quality materials and fixtures. Therefore, there is a more frequent need for repairs.
