what percent can a landowner raise for a mobile home owner yearly?

Anything they want unless the park is rent controlled or subsidized by the goverment. This is a common bait and switch tactic. The hope is that you will abandon the home and they can take posession and sell it off to the next sucker in line.

I sold my hunting rifles a few years ago and received pretty good cash (although I had to give up my hunting career).  If looking to raise money without selling and personal possessions, have you considered "leverage" options, such as "flipping" a house?  i.e. buy a rundown house (20% down), remodel and renovate, then sell.

This is not necessarliy a lost cause but a true case. A man who bought his house in 1949 bought the water/ mineral rights to his property. When the road in front of his house was being widened the government offered him less than 3 thousand dollars for his house and property claiming eminent domain. Due to the fact he owned the land and what lies beneath they could not force him to sell, so in retaliation they put the road right against his front porch and moved to put the power lines over his house so they could condemn it. I was working for the power company at the time and got an engineer out there to re-route the power lines away from this man's home. However, to the end of his life (he died about 4 years after all this) he had a guard rail at the end of his steps off his front porch. We need to change the laws so the Government cannot seize homes to sell property to corporations and to protect the homeowner.

Depends...state specific question. Contact your local Association of Realtors.

hi. I kind of do this for a living in Texas and don't know where you are, so the rules could be different.  I would suggest that you contact the contact person at the state and real-friendly-like start there by asking if you could get a copy of the "title work" they "ran" (conducted) to arrive at their ownership information.  This would be the easiest way to determine what the actual percentages owned by each person are under the two lots.\n\nIt sometimes happens that when land is deeded or willed out even to a group of people, the percentages of ownership can be unequal. For instance, if your grandparents passed the lots by their wills to their 10 children thusly,"I want my 5 sons and four daughters, Cindy, Amy, Sarah, and Sue to share and share alike in 75% of the lots, but I want my remaining daughter, Jean to have an undivided 25% of the lots b/c she took care of me in my old age."  Thus Jean would be entitled to 25% of the money from the state, and the others only divide up the remaining 75%.\n\nThis could happen if the 5 who deeded to the other 5 said it similarly, "We deed our interest 75% to our siblings Joe, John, Cindy and Sue, undivided, but deed the remaining undivided 25% to Jean, who took care of Dad."  See?\n\nHowever, if all the transfers were made equal and undivided amongst all 10, then the same way amongst the 5, then that one Aunt is out of luck. She may have gotten "ripped off" by having paid more to her siblings than the others did, but tho that would stink, it wouldn't get her more.  The deed wording controls.\n\nSo for you to be able to help: You have to see the documents that put the title into your uncles and aunts the way it stands today. If the state can't or won't help you, then go to a title company in the county where the land is and tell them you will pay for a title check, or a title insurance commitment.  Or go to a reputable real estate lawyer who can go to the county records and check them for you. It is a little expensive, but will shut Auntie up.\n\nGood luck. Remember--she may have a reason for thinking as she does, that goes beyond just greed. Old people often remember things that happened. I find talking to them very useful in my work.

For federal purposes 25% if under $1 million, but 35% over $1 million.  States will vary on their respective withholding tax rate.

Your fee sounds reasonable, but you can probably increase it a little. Just hike it $5.00/hour (plead expenses such as gas have increased) for about 3 or 6 months, then hike it $5.00 again.

In Arkansas (where I live) it won't increase your taxes but make sure you really want your brother on your deed.  Do you realize that his creditors can attach half your property that is in his name and do you realize that he must sign if you want to sell your property?  What if you have a falling out...

This is a tricky one.\n\nYou would pay capital gains taxes on the difference between the sale price and the basis.  The basis would include the original cost plus any improvements.  The property taxes were probably deducted each year so you can not add those to the basis.  You may get a "stepped-up" basis for half of the land based on the fair market value of land on the date of his death.\n\nIt is time to see a professional.  I would not attempt this on your own.

The highest as of right now is around 5.46%, but it has a minimum of 10k.  This is at Countrywide in CA.\n\nBankrate typically lists quite a few.

I would think that you have a good case to bring forth, but living in a mobile home park myself (in California) if your park is owned by a major corporation (such as ours) I don't know if you would have too much luck without taking a legal stance.  We, ourselves, are going through it with rent control issues (our park has raised our space rent $200 in the last 3 yrs) and it is terrible for seniors.  Prayers go out to you in Florida =)

Consider filling in a small claims court. Chances are, the guy won't show and the judge will allow you to sell the mobile home and keep the money. If the home is worth enough, you collect the outstanding debt and get rid of the home in one move.

The "house arrest" would probably be set to a specific address as opposed to something that can move.  Then again, a "moble home" isn't exaclty mobile, so where would you go?  It's not like they are on wheels and can be hooked up to a trailer.  Did you mean to say motorhome?

Depends on the state you are in. Check with your bank first. They might be willing to do it. Most lenders won't want to mess with that. A land/home package would be better and get you a better interest rate.

This is potentially a very very bad situation. On your end it sounds like you have no contract and I am willing to bet that If you have no contract you have not taken title of the mobile home and do not have any type of deed to prove that you have taken ownership of the property. Likewise there is no obligation to pay them however you would be out your money and home if decided to leave. Talk to them and get a contract worked up by a lawyer and put your contingencies in it. Some of this is after the fact since you have already taken possession. Document EVERYTHING you do in case this situation goes bad and you need recourse as to what and when everything has happened. In the future use a realtor to help you when making home purchases and we can help you with all the nity gritty stuff so you don't get screwed. Good luck.
