Looking for data on costs in owning MF home

[Debbie]

Are there any articles or books that look at the long term cost pro's and cons of owning a
>MF home vs site built.
>Land owned vs rented space..property taxes and upkeep expenses weighed against space rent and taxes.
>What are the tax differences in MF/Land vs MF/Rented space.

I keep thinking owning the land or lot would be cheaper over the long term but maybe not.
I may not have worded my question right but I hope someone gets the gist of what I am trying to figure out.

Thanks.
