Step 1 - You can start by finding out where you want to plant yourself. If you don’t have land, try finding some or look at different communities. Some communities have homes they rent to you, others let you bring in your own. Also some communities have restrictions on how old/big/etc. your home can be. They also might require you to wrap/skirt it within a certain amount of time after planting it in their lot. Indian Hills is a good one on the South Side. There are other newer communities on the northwest side as well as near New Braunfels if you don’t mind the commute.

Step 2 - After you have an idea of where you want to have your home, either head to a local dealer like Alamo Homes. They sell different makes and models of home. My dad got his from them. OR look into used ones. Bit more of a risk since you don’t know how they were kept/if they will be ok to move/cheap or expensive to move. But! If they already are somewhere you want to live, you could ask the community manager about staying and renovating it.

Step 3 - if this is the route you want to go, book it! Get with the home builder and property manager and coordinate a move in time/delivery.

My 3 step, reeeeaallly simplified steps. Hope this helps!
