We were in Florida recently and spent some time scoping out developments and neighborhoods where we might like to buy a place. One evening, we went to visit a friend who moved down there several years ago. They rented a condo the first year or two and then bought a place in a manufactured home community.
She said she was shocked. She thought she would never be interested in that but once they checked it out, she totally changed her mind, and we can see why. The houses are quite nice. It's a wonderful community of about 900 homes. There's a nice clubhouse and facilities for residents. The HOA seems to be quite reasonable in their rules and regulations. And the prices are tremendously lower than stick-built housing in the area. They've been there for 3 years now and love it.
I'd love to hear from anyone here who owns such a home. How has your experience been? Pros and cons? Any tips for someone who might be considering buying one?
