Well the mobile home park I've lived in for 28 years finally passed my cut off point at over $800 a month for lot rent !! And I foresee them hitting $1000 a month in the next few years.
The amazing thing is I qualified for a loan even though I'm on SS retirement income only. The other amazing thing is I'm finding smaller homes outside the front range for affordable mortgages ranging in the $300 a month range. This is a pretty unnerving thing for me to tackle at this time of life but financially I see no choice.
Some of the challenges I see are increasing travel times for basic needs like groceries,health care,home repair needs,etc. But I see some great benefits like less traffic,QUIET !!!, meeting new friends,and owning my own land.
Of course the biggest challenge I'm currently facing is decreasing 28 years of possesions to make a one u-haul move haha.Also every town I'm interested is usually a red area on the weather map every night. Oh well just thought I'd share my latest event.
