OP Here,
I think based on all of the responses the best choice would be to find a single axle trailer with brakes. I do need the ability to hand move it into the spot I want to keep it in. We also might be taking it out of state so this way there is no chance of any possible violation.
I have found some but the singles with brakes are almost as much as a tandem with brakes. I will keep looking and maybe I can find a nice used one at a reasonable price.

A complete brake add kit is about $270 if the axle has the flange on it (square plate with 4 holes). What price difference are you seeing for with vs without brakes?
I found a used 6x10 with a side door for $1500 but this was several years ago.
Right now on my local Craigslist a 7 x 12 single axle with brakes is $4000 and one without is $2800.
How hard is it to add the brakes? I'm disabled and would need my son-in-law to help get them put on.
