Has anyone else noticed an increase in commercials for these ?
TV/radio , no matter where ... the adds are way up for them, Seleck and other celeb's pitching them.
There must be a huge profit in them ? Are people really so naive that they buy all the hype ? or are so many so "desparate" for cash ?
In some of them,[adds] the big selling pitch is ..... you get all this money, and need not move. OK, but the property is no longer "yours" . It's theirs, and as i understand it .... everything you may want to change, must be approved by the new "landlord" . This part I'm not sure of but ..... some friends were saying that the "past-owner" [you] is responsible for some of the cost of minor maintance , paint & such ... and the new "owner" sets the standard that the home must be maintained ?
I have never liked the whole idea of them since I first heard of them.
I have a "feeling" that some seniors are being played ...... Big-time.
