Questions to Ask When Looking for a Mobile Home

From a recent article in MHVillage.com here is some good advice on things to look for and questions to ask when looking for a home in The Orchards.

Before you start your search for the perfect mobile home, it’s important to create a checklist of your top priorities when it comes to living in a mobile home park. These could include:

• Finding a community that allows for pets if you own a dog, cat, or other animal. The Orchards does allow 2 pets up to 30# each and no vicious breeds.
• Finding an age-restricted community, if desired. The Orchards is a 55+ age-restricted community.
• Having access to amenities such as a swimming pool, lakeside view, facilities such as racquetball or tennis courts, etc. The Orchards has an exercise room, heated pool and playground.
• The level of gated security within a community. The Orchards is a gated community.

Consider some of the following questions you should ask yourself when touring a mobile home:

• Will I have enough space with this home?
• Can I afford the monthly expenses, such as utilities?
• Can I renovate it if I need to?
• Can I adequately address any issues with plumbing, electricity, or other utilities?
• Does the mobile home offer easy access to amenities and stores in the surrounding area that are important to me?
