Don't do it man. Not unless you have a permitted site for it before you buy. I can speak for rural properties in the US. City people think you can do anything on land you own if you're outside the city limits, but county governments and almost always land covenants commonly require 1000 sq ft or more minimum. Many covenants ban any kind of "manufactured", i.e. not built on site dwellings. Basically you get treated like you're trying to park an old camping trailer next to your neighbor's 4000 sq ft mountain lodge dream home, thereby depreciating his $800,000 investment when he gets ready to sell. The land might even be cheap, but you get roped into building a mansion on it or nothing.
No you can't just park it in your suburban friend's backyard forever. Even if you pay him rent, his homeowners' association will get wise to your non-standard dwelling and kick you out eventually.
As far as I know, the only place you can be sure you can park something that small is in an RV park, but rents are high and your neighbors constantly move in and out. Many mobile home parks have a minimum square footage requirement or a minimum width rule which forces you to buy a double wide. Now you own an over-large depreciating manufactured house which can't easily be moved, and you're vulnerable to rent increases forever.
Source: Lived in a 400 sq ft park model for many years. I could have easily moved it to where I live now, but even in this little town with very small and shabby century-old houses everywhere, the minimum was 800 sq ft.
