how safe

[j andersen]

we were looking at 1984 tradewinds 26x40 in very good condition.we live in florida.The home is in a lease park.How safe are these mhomes?Is it better to own your own lot or lease?

[rmurray]

Tradewinds is a very good house....This home has already been through at least a dozen hurricanes and is still in good shape...Park living is a lifestyle..that is peronal if it is for you..the park is half of what you are buying in a home like this...stop some other residents and ask what they think of the park......

Good Luck...

"What should you consider if you think you want to live in a land-lease community and pay rent every month? Why should you know if you want to buy private property? With zoning easing up in most areas of the United States, and attractive finance rates for land/home packages, you may be at a loss as to the best choice for you - both in the immediate future as well as long term."
