• Property Taxes – In a leased land community, the resident’s share of the property taxes is included in the monthly rental payments. 
  •  Water and Sewage – These ammenities are also included in the monthly rental payments.
  • Location – When people think of private property, they usually think of their own little world far away from everyone else.  Guess what?  That also makes them miles away from all the other conveniences of life such as schools, hospitals, shopping, churches, police and fire stations, banks, groceries, doctors, etc.
  • More Affordable – Buying a manufactured home without land is much less expensive than buying land and a home. 
  • Security – Within a leased land community there is a sense of “neighborhood” which creates relationships among neighbors who will look out for one another.
  • Relocation – If your plans at some point in the future call for relocating, consider your options.  Often unavoidable circumstance, such as job transfers, family health matters, or financial issues force you to relocate.  When that becomes necessary, you can take your home with you.  In a private property situation, the land must be sold before you can move.  Alternatively, if you want to resell your home rather than taking it with you, it is often easier to sell because the selling price is less since there is no land to sell with it.
  • Maintenance – Life in a leased land community is commonly thought of as “low-maintenance”.  While the homeowner is responsible for minor maintenances and upkeep to their home site and the home itself, it is extremely minimal when compared to the maintenance requirements of a homeowner who owns their land.
  • Investment – Since the purchase price of a manufactured home located in a leased land community is significantly less than that of a home with land, it makes sense that both the initial investment (down payment) and the monthly investments are also considerably less.
