Re: Apache Junction, AZ Internet

We have a park of over 1,000 units. Of those, I'm guessing a large portion of those are using either Dish or Jabba. But most of us are being forced to use our cell phone's data plan. I feel like a hard wired option will be the best option...but I don't know if that's even a thing in our park.384Views0likes0CommentsRe: Apache Junction, AZ Internet

You have all the fixed location wireless providers like Viasat and there are the mobile carriers if you have a good signal. For heavy users, Centurylink or Cox are the two dominate providers, but as you know, AJ in on the edge so some areas can be metro built up and others in the sticks as far as what's available. Sometimes it just comes down to which side of the street you're located.. Lots of people in our community use Jabba, but they use it because it seems to be the only alternative to Dish. For what Jabba charges, it's awful. And awful is a compliment.382Views0likes0CommentsRe: Purchasing in a 55+ Community - AZ

There are people in that camp...one way or another you're paying...either lot rent or HOA...plus in the ones we're looking at they have the amenities that we won't need to purchase or maintain. To each his/her own...for sure.572Views0likes0CommentsRe: Purchasing in a 55+ Community - AZ
What are the approximate Real Estate fees for a transaction like this? We're working through our offer and want to have an idea as to what the fees will be. Park Model and the land under the park model Probably a title transfer fee for the park model Probably some type of recording and transfer fee with the county Probably an HOA transfer fee of sorts Can anybody quantify this for me? I understand that this is an Internet forum and not a place for legal advice. Thank you569Views0likes0CommentsRe: Purchasing in a 55+ Community - AZ

In AZ, manufactured homes are vehicles and are titled that way (Been there, done that.). A park model may be the same. Of course. But this is exactly why I'm here...to get these thoughts and ideas so we are not going into this conversation blind. Thank you for your contribution to this thread.563Views0likes0CommentsRe: Purchasing in a 55+ Community - AZ
Expyinflight wrote: Another thing to be aware of. In the majority of Arizona's 55+ communities, you own the 'home', but not the ground or lot that it sits on. You pay a monthly rent or lot fee, which your heirs would then be responsible for unless or until they sell the unit. I can only think of a handful where you own the lot. Good to know. Thank you!562Views0likes0CommentsRe: Purchasing in a 55+ Community - AZ

Great tip! Thank you!562Views0likes0CommentsRe: Purchasing in a 55+ Community - AZ
azdryheat wrote: in AZ - RV's and park models are all registered with DMV as trailers and all have titles of ownership. As long as you're the titled owner you can add any name you want so long as they're present to sign. That's great to know...so we'll have two different transactions? One for the land and one for the park model?229Views0likes0Comments
