Hi everyone! I am looking at purchasing a home in Barefoot Bay. I've looked at several manufactured home communities and the lot rent is very expensive. This was one area where you own the land. Any input? I currently live in Palm Bay and would be interested in anything there also. I am 57 and physically disabled and would be okay in a 55 plus community as well
Thanks so much!!

Look around and see if you can find something CBS for a similar amount. Over here, the lots and such for manufactured were running 40k to 60k and with a unit you were looking at another 30k. CBS home in Palm Grove was 100k and it will last forever where as the manufactured home will be worthless over time.

In addition, insurance wise, manufactured homes have replacement cost for about 10 years and after that its ACV or virtually nothing.

Right now, Condos are pretty cheap and another better option to consider as well.

I realize budgets are a reality as well but look hard at how much you're paying and if there is anything else in the area that might be similar in price but last much longer.
