Are you considering buying a mobile home in Florida? Coming up. Sup everybody, Steve with Max from Realters with the Beach Brokers here with my partner. Jo Lee, she's going to get us into this mobile home and we're going to talk about buying mobile homes in Florida. So mobile homes can be a great option for many people, whether you're looking for a part-time, second-home residence and or a full-time residence. They can also be very cost effective. So if you are considering buying a mobile home in Florida, we're going to go over some tips that you should know. So a big question are they financial? A lot of people may tell you that they're not. Most of them are in fact financial. Basically it becomes a fine line that usually if they're built after July of 1976. The reason for this is because Fannie and Freddie implemented the HUD tag system. That meaning that the unit has to have a HUD tag on it to symbolize the exact year-making model serial number of the unit. If the units have those HUD tags, which again 1976, some of them can go missing. If they have those, you usually are fine to go ahead and finance the units. Safe is option going conventional loans to make sure that you have better chance of actually getting to the finish line. So there are really two types of mobile home parks in Florida. Number one is where you actually own the structure and the land below it. In my estimation, it's probably the best option. And the other option is actually a lot rent. Where you own the structure, but you lease the land beneath you. Another pro tip is that you want to make sure you check for any new additions that were added to the manufactured home. Most manufactured homes are built with a certain elevation, which is obviously great, especially if in Florida because you can eventually going to have to worry about flooding. When you have additions many of the time they add on Florida rooms and so forth, that also can affect your financing by the way. But you want to make sure that they're elevated. If they are low line, you do chance flooding. Another thing you got to watch out for are any kind of age restrictions. A lot of mobile home parks in Florida are 55 plus. But that also does not mean that you, if you are under 55, that you cannot get into these parks, a lot of them have bylaws where they allow certain percentage. People under the 55 threshold to actually become residents in these parks. So any park that you do choose, you're going to want to make sure you go through the bylaws and association documents very thoroughly. Essentially there are two types of mobile homes, one being either the option of a single-wide or the option of a double-wide. The difference is exactly that. One is single and the other one is double the width. As always, if you're buying a real estate, you want to get a reputable inspector to go through the property thoroughly to find out any defects in the property. Especially with mobile homes, sometimes a lot of leaky roofs and also even soft spots in the flooring, which could be major issues in the future. So just make sure you get a good inspection. Make sure to study the community. Depending on how active you are, we'll help you to decide for the right community for you.
