Bradenton offers many manufactured home communities with Florida mobile homes for sale. There are 55 plus and all ages communities in which bargains can be found. Florida retirement communities are well represented in Bradenton with everything from luxury gated communities to small mobile home parks; that are more affordable. In this video we look at a bargain home, in one such Florida mobile home park, that offers low lot rent for the area and quick access to many beaches and other attractions.

Awesome video Russ! Thanks!!!
Is this still available?
I don't know FL laws but are there any controls on increasing lot rents. What is to prevent the park owner from raising the rent from $550/month to $1,000/month.
Don't worry about Hurricane season. You said Florida ?
Ótimo vídeo!!
Parabéns!
What about rentals in these communites?
My wife and I had talked about moving south. We hate the winters here in Michigan. I was a little surprised about the lot rent but it’s been a while since I lived in a mobile home. We would more than likely want a little bigger and newer home than this model. I’ll keep watching to see if there’s anything we Amy like.
But the park fees can be very high
If you are dealing with an older mobile pre-1980 and if they have a fire then they tend to burn up quickly. And I do mean quick. Was visiting a mobile home park and an owner had a kitchen fire and within 5 minutes the mobile home was gone.
Are there any mobile home projects in FL that are structured as condominiums and not coops ?
Used furniture is worth about 10% of its original cost. Don't overpay for used furniture.
Ahhhh high crime rate…all the traffic you can handle and dont forget that lot rent…
Can you do your own renovations inside and outside or does it have to done by contractors
This is not appealing at all! Out dated, chopped up, etc
Bradenton is great once you get to Sarasota
The lot rent in san Diego is between $1200 to 1500 for a 60 foot single wide…and home prices are lots more……. I'm in an older 1960s park and now pay $900 a month winters…
could never understand why anyone would buy a mobile home without the property! $550 a month (he says is low) they can raise the rate at any time.
If your going into any 55+ please really look thru the bylaws for the community. We are in a condo for 4 years now. Our daughter in law just arrived from Europe. We found out that she can only stay with us for 90 Days!!!! Ridiculous rules. Who knew there would be a rule like this??? We own our unit outright and pay our monthly fees on time. Just be aware!!!!
I would never "buy a home" only to have to pay rent!! What sense does that make? I don't care if it's on the beach in Bermuda!! Either buy or rent!
Can a 70 yr old couple have a live-in medical care taker for the disabled spouse and the care talker is their adult daughter/licensed caregiver.
What do you have available in a mobile home retirement communities there?
When I was in Palm Springs, people out there are building roofs over their homes to help with radiant heat, can they do that in Florida?
Can you please make a video or tell me what all age communities exist in Sarasota and Bradenton?
That is high lot rent, and to many air conditioners/but they are older homes. Nice locations. Thanks
Russ, that's a great bargain, but what scares me about retirement communities is living there forever and passing away there.
But, how much is The HOA?
Lawn care included? Is that a joke? Worst lawn ever!
These are cheap because they depreciate and come with a negative perpetual cash flow
Have anything that somebody like me who isn’t 55+ to buy a trailer. I live in palmetto, RIGHT next to Bradentons green bridge.
Interested in Ft Myers area. Would love some info.
Ohh 😮😯 NO but the monthly SPACE RENTS are Untangleble, can go up anytime depending on the OWNERS!!!
Cheap Mobile homes but paying lot rent is a turn off.
Let's go Brandonton!
Wholesome and informative. Thanks for posting
Liked this video and ones like it. Thanks.
Please let us know if a property is pet friendly, specifically whether a small dog is acceptable (a senior chihuahua)
It's cheap until you realize what the lot rent is and what the association fees are. $25,000 for a 2-br mobile home sounds good until you see the by laws of the community it is sitting in. Some put in stipulations that the siding must be replaced every 5 years. Homes need to be remodeled every 10 years. Friend moved into a mh community on a special, $299 monthly lot rent for life deal – but it keeps increasing each year because of hidden fees or dues. All I am saying is ask lots of questions and research everything before you sign any documents.
