Not sure ownership is the right move for you?
How much do I need
for a downpayment?
Down payments vary based on the lender
and loan type. Some buyers qualify with
as little as 5% down.
What other costs should I expect?
- Utilities & Maintenance: You’re responsible for all home-related costs
- Monthly Lot Rent: Even though you own your home, you’ll continue paying lot rent to enjoy living in our communities.
- Homeowners Insurance: Lenders require this.
