There are some great benefits to buying a home in a mobile park. Consider all of the following when looking to buy a home in a park. Many times it is a fantastic step to becoming a home owner.
WHY A PARK?
Cheap. Buying a home in a park is easier on the wallet than something outside the park. Be sure to pay attention to the cost of space rent and find out what is included in that rent.
Safe. Parks are generally safer for a number of reasons. Number one, all the neighbors look out for each other. Secondly, usually the only people walking, driving or walking the park are people who live there.
Park Amenities. Often parks have amenities that only the people of the park or their guests can use, i.e, pools, community centers, kitchens, tournaments, etc.
The People. You must qualify to rent a space in the park. People who do not qualify cannot live in the park. Also, renting out a mobile home is prohibited making the owner the actual neighbor.
TIPS
Talk to residents and go to a meeting
Drive through at various times and see what’s going on. I always tell my clients to drive by a prospective home on Saturday. What are the neighbors doing? Are kids out and about? Do you want to see kids out and about?
Read the park rules and regulations. Be sure to check on the frequency of rent increases and if there are any controls over that.
Find out what is included in the space rent.
Look at the schedule of events at the community center, if there is one.
See what amenities are available.
Pay attention to how you feel when you are at the park. Do the neighbors seem to care about their homes? Do you like the park manager?

Humboldt Native striving to bring the best possible service to my clients. "Dedicated to Community, Committed to Excellence"
I take my job seriously and treat my clients with care, honesty and with diligence. I WILL call you back and in a timely manner. I WILL do what I say I will do. I WILL show up on time. I WILL look out for your interests. Its as simple as the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Easy and straight forward.
Specifically, I help my clients through the buying and selling process so they can continue to do their jobs and be with their families. I am able to naviagate the MLS, show homes on a flexible schedule and negotiate offers to meet the needs of you, my client. What also sets me apart is my professionalism, my tedious attention to detail (aka: all the fine print), and my ability to get the deal moving in a timely manner. I go to inspections, call title companies, call other agents, and help my clients figue out what questions still need to be asked.
I am a self-starter which is part of the reason for my career change. I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Kinesiology, as well as a teaching credential in both Physical Education and Adapted Physical Education. However, I found that what I really enjoyed was coaching. I took some time off after having my second child and decided that it was time to make a move into another field. A move to a career where I saw the direct results of my efforts. I was a little skeptical of Real Estate, but it fits me PERFECTLY!!! I love it and now know that I would do nothing else.
Homes!!! I just plain out love them. I love walking through new ones and admiring the great new technologies as well as walking the older homes and letting my imagination go wild. Often, new home buyers don't really look at the little things, like the way a door opens, or the convience of a closet near the front door. These are things I notice and point out.
I specialize in first time home-buyers, relocation, and enticing 'for sale by owner' sellers to work a deal with me. Everything is for Sale!!
Though I grew up in Fortuna, I am also your expert in Rio Dell, as it is my home and where my husband teaches elementary school.
