About Purchasing
What are the benefits of purchasing a factory-built home?
There are many benefits to owning a new factory-built home, such as affordability, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and a modern floor plan. You can enjoy high-quality living, resort-style amenities, and close proximity to schools and medical facilities at a lower cost than a new site-built home.
What is the benefit of leasing my lot versus owning it?
Part of the American Dream is owning your own home. Regardless of what stage of life you are in, you deserve a safe and affordable community. Our communities offer the opportunity to own a home, enjoy exceptional amenities, and experience low-maintenance living without the additional cost of land ownership, property taxes, or HOA fees.
Do I pay real estate taxes?
You will not pay real estate taxes in a Reserve community. This is a significant cost savings compared to a site-built home in this area. You are responsible for paying personal property tax to the county once per year based on the value of your home.
How often do lot lease prices go up?
Lot rents will increase as needed to match current market rent rates.
Is there an application process?
Yes, there is a formal application process each homebuyer must go through to be approved for a lease prior to moving into the community including qualifying based on income and credit history, and clearing background checks.
What does the background check cover?
Those with a history of violent crime, drug-related crime, or crimes against minors will not be allowed to purchase a home in our community.
