**Warning**

I was under contract with this property. It was presented to me as a seasonal mobile home in a mobile home park. The real estate agent repeatedly claimed that this location could only remain a mobile home park due to state regulations and proximity to water. I was told the current owners were the original and only owners. None of this was true.

Our only condition for the purchase was to see the mobile home park HOA rules. This took 10 days for them to provide! In that time I did some of my own research. Looking at public tax records I discovered that the mobile home park had been sold to a new owner exactly 1 year ago. No information was available on-line and no details about “Riverside Landing”. The only thing I could find was that the land was purchased by “Good To Go Properties LLC” and that they are listed as a contractor / remodeling company. The address for Good To Go Properties LLC was a single family home that also shares the address with another contractor company who did have significant on-line presence and a facebook account that boasted many photos of new construction and re-modeling old camps and apartments.

I was very concerned about the fact that the property was just recently purchased by a new owner who appears to be a large contractor. I was worried that the plans for this property were to make significant changes. I brought up my concerns to the broker who kept insisting that the new owners didn’t want to change anything and that the state would not allow them to change anything. I was told it can only ever be a “mobile home park”….

So, 10 days later and I finally receive the “HOA rules” from the property owner. What I was given however was “Riverside Landing Camping Rules_Regs_Jan 2022” …. rules for a campground, not a mobile home park.

In those rules it clearly states that any RV (the term RV refers to any camping unit designed and used for temporary dwelling for recreational, camping, travel or seasonal use, including all types of travel trailers, 5th wheels, park models also known as park trailers and motor homes, etc.) cannot be any older than 10 years of age when purchased! Owners of older campers are free to sell to whoever they like as long as the RV is removed from the property.

The sale of a seasonal RV to another party does not mean the site is transferred as well. All Campers are free to sell their RV to a person of their own choosing provided the RV is removed from the Campground. There is no obligation on the part of the Campground to purchase your RV and you are not obligated to sell your RV to the Campground. You do not acquire any property interest in your Campground site by placing your RV on the site and therefore the sale of your RV does not thereby include the transfer of your site to the new owners.

The good news is… the campground will give you at least 96 hour notice to remove your mobile home or they will make the arrangements to have it moved at your expense!

After I backed out of this valueless property, the real estate agency re-listed it with no changes. It still has the incorrect “HOA” fee of $400 monthly … it’s been raised to $417 and expected in one lump sum of $5000 instead of monthly. They still include photos and a description of a “screened gazebo” which I was told when viewing the property had been torn down last year because of rot.
