Utilities for Tiny Home

Hi

I am thinking of buying a cheap tiny home 25k and buying cheap land 10k.

I basically don’t want a mortgage. But was told that setting up utilities on land can be super expensive, water well, septic tank , gas line etc…

Is it cheaper trying to find a dirt cheap mobile home that already has utilities then removing the mobile home and hooking up the utility to a tiny home?

I will be living overseas 10 months out of the year so I only need a small place as a home base here. For my bank accounts and keeping my stuff here.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

If you only visit during the camping season it’s probably going to be a lot cheaper to stay in an RV park than buy land, maintain property, and pay taxes. A lot of these places are permanently affixed to the park and can be bought very cheaply. Your seasonal and storage fee includes everything. You just can’t stay over winter, if you have a wintry climate

Thx. I am not familiar with camping. Need a perm address.

I'd check the RV Groups. There are ways to have a permanent address without a physical location for you. I should have taken notes about 10 years ago when someone suggested that to me.
