I know the "R" stands for Residential but...can the property be subdivided in the future?  What are the basic building guidelines? only stick built homes, or can you build mobiles on an R-5 property?  Thanks for you time!\n\nGary

different areas have different meanings behind zoning designations, where i am at R5 is residential, 5 dwelling units per lot. you need to go to your planning department or look at the county codes to find out exactly what is allowed in that zone.

Sounds like some property developers have bought the land and want to build something.  This has happened so many times to residents of mobile home parks in the coastal communities in Florida.  High priced condos are going up where the mobile home parks had been for decades.  \n\nIf all of the residents are in the same position that you are facing, see if you can get the media involved.  Or the mayor's office.  It could buy you some time.

Sounds good to me.  Very proficient.  You have had all inspection and no variance was needed.  The only thing I can think is the uitility hook ups.  The pre-constructed house will have all the hook up but can services such as cable, electric, gas, telephone,etc.  I am sure.  Now, it's just time for them to come and assemble.

Register your details with agencies when you know when you're ready to move as they will have properties both available immediately and in the future when the property becomes vacant.  They will also let you know as soon as new properties come to the market.  You can try and book appts in but whether they are still available when you are ready to view is another matter! Good luck!

I would go to the realtor's website. All realtors have websites, and almost all of them have seperate websites for the local branches, and they should have video tours of the homes, when the homes were built, and the previous owner's cell number for any further questions.

pick up a homes magazine, there should be forclosed homes in there. U can always go to palm harbor homes and find a mobile home, or search online for forclosed homes in ur area. My 1st house was forclosed and we bought it for almost $40,000 less than appraisal value. Good luck!

I think it might be illegal in some neighborhoods. In the aspect they bring a mobile home to park next to your house.

It's feasable, but a real pain in the butt. Manufactured homes are actually built stronger tha a lot-built home (required for the moving of the individual pieces), but it would almost seem easier to just have the whole thing moved as a unit, like they do with a standard home.

It depends on what your doing to the home.  If all you are doing is cosmetic upgrades, a normal policy will do.  If you are adding square footage to the home, a builders risk may be in order.  Keep in mind that since the home will not be occupied, you will need a vacant dwelling policy, and those can run a bit higher than a normal homeowners policy.  Try contacting who you carry your auto through.  You may get a price break for having more than one policy with the same carrier.

Building department in your county would have that answer.  They vary...but just by the fly it would stand to reason if your neighbor put up a fence then you could set a post right next to his..it's on your property and I don't think there is any setback concerning fencing...

No, the house is part of the real estate, too bad it was not a trailer! anyway there is nothing stopping you from making an offer, so go to a realtor, anyone will be happy to write it up, if you are in the norther michigan area give me a call, lol! just make an offer of what you are willing to pay, often times listing agents will list a house at whatever the owner wants just to get the listing, kind of like blowing sunshine up their skirts...i digress, just go to a realtor and make an offer, if you can pay cash instead of a mortgage you will have a good chance. good luck

This is a tricky situation, but it sounds like you will need to get automobile financing.\n\nTraditional mortgage financing requires:\n1. property be permanently affixed to property through permant foundation\n2. Doublewide preferred (FHA will do singlewides though and it's a pain)\n3. Manufactured home built after JUNE 15, 1976  --- very, very important date. I can not emphasize this more, it is the difference in classification between a mobile and manufactured home\n4. All wheels and axels must be removed\n5. Private/connected utilities and septic/sewer\n\nAnother aspect for mobiles is to consider with age is if the singlewide is over 29 years old.  This will affect the amount of insurance you will be able to obtain which might not jive with lender requirements.  Insurance Co's depreciate mobiles after 29 years.\n\nPersonally, I don't touch singlewides... they are too much work/difficult to get financing for.  But if you are purchasing one that isn't on the property already... yeah, it sounds like you will have to get auto financing.  Go to a auto dealership finance department, they might be able to help...

Some new developments offer purchasing opportunity for low-income people.  They offer the houses at below-market rates.  Check your local area for new developments and see if they have such a program.  I think they're called VMR.

The board represents the owners of the building.\n\nAt first glance it appears that they are suing the developer for failing to disclose issues with the building due to the need for a loan corresponding with the lawsuit against the developer.\n\nGet more involved with you association. That's the best advice I can give you.

What are you zoned for?\n\nI can use teh real-world example of my mon's house.  We're selling her house in New York City so we can move her out here by us in New Jersey.  Upon doing our due dilligence, we were pleasantly surprised to find she was a C-3, which meant it could be listed as a commercial.\n\nAs a residential, the best she could have hoped for was $325-350,000, based on the comparable listings in the neighborhood.  We wound up getting $450,000 from a commercial buyer.\n\nSpeaks for itself!\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

Every town has its own zoning code.  You need to contact the Zoning Dept. at your town hall and they will tell you what R2 means. R2 could mean 2 family houses, or 2 houses per acre, or something else.
