Young newlyweds Jonathan and Melanie Giller have just moved from Michigan to Asheville, N.C., and want to buy their first home for under $120,000 - a challenge in almost any market. Sensitive to their budgetary needs, realtor Kathy Chieco gently suggests they look at manufactured homes, and after initially resisting the idea, the couple agree. Kathy finds them a three-bedroom, two-bath manufactured home in nearby Hendersonville. The Gillers love it and put in an offer. Just when it looks like they're free and clear, an inspection reveals a problem with the foundation. Forced to abandon the home, Jonathan and Melanie expand their search to double-wides. After some intensive searching Kathy locates a double-wide in Etowah, a suburb 30 miles outside Asheville. The double-wide passes inspection, but just as the Gillers are ready to move in, they get the bad news that the land underneath it doesn't belong to the owner of the mobile home. It takes some last-minute machinations before Jonathan and Melanie can move into their first home.
