Decide these first

Land included, or a home on a leased lot in a park or community
Where: near the cabin, the ski hill, the office, or somewhere new
Year-round home, getaway, or rental, which changes the loan and the park rules
Single-wide or double-wide, and how many bedrooms
Must-haves like a shed, carport, deck, or room for gear
Cash, home-only loan, or a mortgage with land (Kara can help sort it out)

Land vs. leased lot

Two very different purchases

The biggest fork in the road is whether you’ll own the ground under the home. It changes the title, the loan, the taxes and the approvals.

Home with land: If the home is on a permanent foundation on land you own, it can be part of the real estate: deed, title insurance and a regular mortgage. If it still has a vehicle-style title, the title can be surrendered and an affidavit of affixation recorded.
Home on a leased lot: The home is usually personal property with a certificate of title through Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services. Financing is often a home-only (chattel) loan or cash, and you’ll pay monthly lot rent.
Approvals: Parks and communities usually approve new residents and have rules on pets, sheds, rentals and home age. Make the offer contingent on approval and on reviewing the lot lease.
Property taxes: A home affixed to land you own is taxed as real property. A home on leased land is taxed as personal property, and homestead must be requested by May 29 of the assessment year.

Document checklist

What to request once you find the one

We’ll post the listing write-up and seller’s disclosure here once there’s a home. Until then, this is the list we’ll ask for.

Seller’s disclosure, or any condition information the seller has
Certificate of title or deed, plus any recorded affidavit of affixation
Year built, make, model and serial number from the data plate
HUD certification label number on each section
Lot lease, park rules and the residency application (if in a park)
Current lot rent and any announced increases
Property tax statement showing taxes paid, and utility history
Any permits for additions, decks or sheds
