What type of home loan do I need to buy a mobile home in a park?
I am looking at buying a manufactured home located in a 55+ mobile home community in Florida. I know I won't own the land underneath it, just the home itself. My local bank told me they only finance real estate, not chattel. What kind of lenders should I be looking for, and do they typically require a larger down payment?
$10,000 down on a mobile home is that enough?

Should I buy a condo in a converted church?
I saw a condo in a converted church. It's really nice and has great features. But is it weird to live in a converted church? I just don't know if I can do it. I also like this condo and maybe I need to get over it? What should I do?
How close is too close to a school?
We like this house and the backyard backs right up to the school property. There’s soccer fields that seem to be used often. Wondering is this is just a little too close to the school? Will it hurt our value? Or drive us crazy? Or is it a benefit to be close to the school and these fields?
Should I buy a condo by the El?
Oir leasing is coming up and we’ve been looking for a place to buy. All the homes our agent shows us need SO much work. We looked at a condo and it’s bigger and nicer than a lot of the homes we saw. The El tracks run right behind us. It doesn’t bother us, but I’m wondering if it will hurt our value long term. I also think this might be the best that we can do with our budget.

Should my partner and I buy or keep renting together in South Florida in 2026?
My partner and I have been renting in Boca Raton for two years and our lease is up in a few months. Combined we make decent money and we've been saving, but every time we run the numbers it feels different than what we hear nationally. Mortgage rates are still hovering around 6.25%, insurance keeps climbing, and condo HOA fees scare us after everything we've read . We're not sure if we'll stay in this area long-term, maybe 4 or 5 years, hard to say. How do we actually figure out whether buying makes sense for us as a couple right now, or if we should rent another year?
