If you are looking to buy a mobile or manufactured home have you considered MH Communities or park? It might just be a perfect solution and Leni Davenport has some great ideas below.
Are Mobile Home Parks A Good Place to Buy a Manufactured Home
So you have decided to buy a mobile home, or manufactured home as they are also known, and are trying to find a good deal. You may have checked a manufactured housing dealer, or you may have seen a home advertised in the paper that needs to be moved to another property after purchase. But have you considered mobile home parks as a good source of manufactured homes for sale? If not you may have missed a great opportunity to purchase a mobile home at an affordable price.
Why would you want to consider mobile home parks as a good place to buy a manufactured home? One obvious answer is that buying a home from a dealership is just the beginning of the process. You would also need to have property somewhere that you can settle the home on. When you purchase a manufactured home inside a park, it will already be installed on a lot and will be hooked up to water, sewer, gas, and electric for you, saving you the headache of having to get all those utilities set up yourself. This is an especially good solution for someone who doesn't want to own a piece of property as in many of these mobile home parks you simply pay a rental fee for the lot each month. Later on if you want to buy a piece of land, you can either move the home onto it, or leaving the home in the park, sell it to another buyer and move on.
A mobile home park can be almost like a gated community, providing you with added security and privacy when compared to living in a more traditional style neighborhood. Additionally you will have the benefit of on-site management to help you deal with any maintenance or repair issues you may need to have resolved. Many of these mobile home communities have the equivalent of homeowners association rules, ensuring that the homes are maintained in good repair and that the yards are well-kept and attractive so that the homeowners can take pride in the neighborhood.
If you are a senior, you may find a community that suits your needs better, such as restricting residents to age 55 and over for seniors. And younger families may prefer a park that caters specifically to those with children -- even providing a private park or playground area. With all these advantages, it's easy to see why someone would consider buying a manufactured home in a mobile home park rather than from a dealer.
