Are you familiar with the concept of condo fees? Well then the park fees are very similar.
For those of you unfamiliar with condo fees – they are a fee (usually monthly) charged to the owner of the condo unit. The fee includes some services depending on the agreement you have with your condo association. Read carefully.
Park fees will generally (but always ask and get in writing) include garbage pick up, sewage, and water* – again, not every park is the same and there is really no standard, much like condo fees. So do your due diligence and find out what exactly is included and what you are responsible for – remember if you have to shovel the snow, that’s your time, and it is valuable.
How much are park fees? Well that again varies dramatically, however typically you will find higher fees in cities and lower fees out in smaller towns and the country.
Ever want to live on an acreage? Many farmers have empty mobile homes on acres of gorgeous farm land for reasonable rent. From experience, it can be completely worth it.
