Spoke to an old friend today who is really encouraging me to look into park model homes that, from my understanding, are really popular in Mesa/Phoenix. I didn't know what she was talking about, but here is a photo:
Park Model Homes From $17,500 - The Finest Quality Park Model Homes And Park Model Cabins And Park Models At The Best Prices
***My question here is has anyone on this board ever lived in one or checked them out? They look so much easier to break into (hellooo, Mr. Burglar) than a regular home, but I could be wrong as I have no empirical knowledge of these home types at all.
She's saying that most are 55+ active adult communities and most have great activities if that's your thing. She had no clue about tax benefits being similar as you would get from living in, say, a Del Webb/Pulte Sun City community; but, I have no clue about it personally. I do like the idea of getting a $400-500 taken off my yearly taxes if I choose a Sun City location.
I gather this park model style is really popular in the Mesa/Phoenix area, and, since my friend plans to move there, she seems to think this would work for me, also. I have no clue about these homes, so I'm ask'n here. I told her I'd dig into it and give her a clue, also.
Plus, I haven't even visited the Phoenix area ever, so I am really clueless about the lifestyle out there--except what I'm learning from that new show "Sunset Daze." Not so sure that's a good thing either.
From what I have gathered, I think the Kaderlis' live in one of these park model home communities, and they seem to like it.
