Hey guys. I’ve decided to buy a house. Where in central FL (Lake/Sumter County) can I buy a place for 150k max. Manufactured home will have to do if need be… what areas should I look? And should I be looking on Zillow, etc. or is there a better option/something I haven’t thought of..?

The problem is there's almost no inventory anywhere now. You are almost better off buying land and putting down a new double wide but land prices are expensive now too. You will find better deals further out in more rural counties like Citrus and Levy. Tons of relatively affordable land then you purchase a new mobile home to put down and try to get all in under $150k.

I’d look into the Sebring area, but you pay for what you get…

This.

You can find this in Sebring/Avon Park... Perhaps the least exciting place to be in the entire state. Among a slew of other issues.

Yeah it's okay. It's simple and low key. Rural and hilly in some areas. It was cheap several years ago but is expensive now. But is still cheap"er" than other nearby areas. Wouldn't stay there forever. Too hot and not enough trees. Recreational parks are lacking. 99 percent of all the lakes are private owned.

There are several homes in your price range in Sebring and not just manufactured. Check Zillow.com for Sebring.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1...45164121_zpid/

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4...28940090_zpid/

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5...45195231_zpid/

Lots there even cheaper as MFG homes.

Look at the northeast side of Polk County around Winter Haven.
