    What do you guys think of home purchases that are land lease?

    <p>I would just be worried that the HOA dues and lease pmts..would increase to the point where they cancel out the reduction in property taxes..and of the owner/leasor decided to sell the land...I've seen ad's for manufactured homes on the newport bay listed in the high 300,000's but the land...

    Foreclosure and distressed property topics

    <p>Thanks Graphix!</p> <p>I am really just more curious about them then anything. So do you think the previous owners sued the builder and got their money back or something like that? Because if people paid in the $700,000's for those things WHOA I feel bad for them. I read the on the...

    A Home is a GREAT investment

    <p>When you look at how much you actually pay for a house it is unfathomable to me how anyone can make that claim. If you buy a 600,000 crackerbox here in Orange County with a fixed 30 yr @ 6.25, the total payments at the end of the loan = 1,321,951.31. Total Interest =729,951.31 ($129,951.31...
