Stranded in Lake Wales, Florida

By
Real Estate Agent with 410-935-5844 Office 634480
Stranded in Lake Wales, Florida.
 
I helped a client of mine to sell her mobile home in Baltimore County just a couple of years ago so that she could relocate to Lake Wales, Florida. It was a quick and easy sale.
 
After a couple of years in Florida, she is ready to return to the land of pleasant living (That's Maryland in case you were wondering.) Having a hurricane blow off half of your roof can do that to you.
 
But after nearly 8 months on the market and after cutting the price in half, she has no offers.
 
She has an okay 2 bedroom and 2 bath 1986 mobile home located just about 20 to 25 miles east of Tampa and just about 20 miles south of Orlando.
 
I thought that Florida had a hot sellers' market like most of the rest of the country. What's going on in Florida?

Ron,

It sounds like a decent location to me, hurricanes and alligators aside.

Ron,

Maybe this is an early indicator that the market is finally making a change.

Hi Ron Trzcinski, 410-935-5844 . Has the roof been repaired, does she own the land underneath it? What is the current price? This interests me as a possible snowbird.

Bob,

The roof has been repaired.  The address of the property is 5130 Abc Road, Lot 19, Lake Wales, FL 33859.  She does not own the ground.  It is in a mobile home park so there is a ground rent.

Thanks Ron Trzcinski, 410-935-5844 . It looks great but I have to own the land underneath it.

Good evening Ron,

I'm sorry you are having difficulty getting an offer. Does renting the land underneath have anything to do with it? Send good vibes your way for a buyer.

Dorie,

Paying a ground rent is potentially an issue for some buyers, however, there is a tradeoff.  There are no property taxes and water is included in the ground rent.  Another concern is that typical financing is not available on a mobile home because it does not have a permanent foundation.

This is a legal requirement and a precaution against fraud and misrepresentation wordle unlimited. However, the methods and procedures for checking and verifying the title may vary depending on the location, the agency, and the situation. Here are some of the possible ways that real estate agents can check and verify word games

Do you believe that the Amazon rain forest should be cut down to make way for the raising of cattle?
