Hi everyone! Sorry for this odd question but I have to ask this! did anyone live in a mobile home in lansing (or in a cold climate like lansing)? How much does heating costs for these apartments? It is interesting to see that house prices in lansing seems to be good if you have some saving. I will be there for my ph.d and instead of givind 650$ per month to 1-1 houses for 5 years it would be better to give 350 dolar per month for 15 years for me especially for my income. If we will leave, we can sell it half the price and still profit! What do you think? I am looking for mobile homes that built after 1976 (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Code took effect in 1976). Oh, one more question,do we have any chance to escape to anywhere if a tornado appears and how likely to see this? (http://www.homefacts.com/tornadoes/Michigan/Clinton-County/East-Lansing.html) (I am a visiting scholar and also anyone know anything about mortgage for foreigners?) Thank you for your patience for these absurd kind of questions

Thank you very much Keephopealive. I do not know whether there is big differences for bills between states but can you also share your thought that what is average electricity bill for a two person family do you think? (If you lived in a similar climate like east lansing (or not), can you also guess what will be the heating cost approx.? ) Thanks again!

Please keep this topic alive, me and my wife are also going to reside in east lansing for five years and we will come from abroad. Any suggestion related to where to live will be appreciated Because the grant that I acquire is 1450 $ per month, unfortunately we can only afford at most nearly $600 for rent we guess... So is it possible to live with the rest of the money in east lansing with 2 person? ($850) -Most importantly, can you please also share information about the average bills of the electricty/heating/water? are they to expensive? (for example heating costs 200$ in winters, electricity generally costs $80 etc...) Thank you!
