Hello everyone.
I'm in the process of buying a mobile in a park. I found a 2004 single wide. It appears in nice shape. Inspections are this week. I viewed the place after a few days of really heavy rain here and all looked well.
Still I'm terrified I'm making the wrong decision. I keep thinking I should just stay in my apartment. But it's not mine. Rent is OK but they are renting to new renters at 70 dollars more than I pay for the one bedroom. I appreciate that they keep the rent lower for established renters but if the owners sold this place, the rent could increase quickly.
Plus I know a lot of senior housing takes one pet. I have two cats which are fine for the 55+ park I'm moving to. The space rent, I think is too much but I could make it even on retirement. I have money put away for future needed repairs. And it would be mine and the cats. It's on a bus line since I don't plan on having a car in retirement.
Those low income senior housing places sound like they can be a bit of a nightmare with waiting lists and who knows what. I just have to keep telling myself I'm making the right decision. I'm not good at change and I hated owning a house but this will be in a safe area. Not the nightmare neighbors I had before.
Thoughts? Thank you.
