Thanks for some confirmation on fees I’m seeing while looking at an ACTIVE community. My mom and I live together, and she’s ready to retire, but I need her to have activities that don’t require her driving across Mesa. I swear it’s like looking for a good school district haha. There are so many land lease communities, but you should only use one if you’re a snowbird and only need to park your RV for a few months, not for a “permanent” structure. The costs seem to even out anyway, a lower cost house has exorbitant lease fees, vs a higher house price with high HOA, but still lower than the lease fee. So if you’re going to pay the same amount in the end, get the land that can profit you down the road.
Glad this was helpful! Reach out to me if you'd like to brainstorm some ideas for low cost, high activity places. I know them all!! Thanks for watching my channel!
Heritage Highlands in Marana....$3500 just to add to the other "normal" fees of being a new resident. Not good. Also, some of the 55+ communities require monthly fees for using (or not) the Clubhouse restaurant. Since my wife and I do quite a bit of cooking, we rarely use the amenities of a Club restaurant. In addition, we would anticipate purchasing a property on an all-cash deal. This factor does not negate still having to pay all these other fees. Great video!
You are the exact people that I made this video for! So glad you found it!! Lots of things to think about even for cash buyers so I wanted to go through the biggest ones. Call me when you're ready to make a move. We've got some great communities in the Tucson/Marana/Oro Valley areas!
My wife and I lived in Scottsdale for 10+ years and came back to CA to be closer to my wife's parents. Unfortunately, they are no longer with us. So, we may want to fly the coop and possibly head back to AZ. I know the temps in the Valley have really risen since we left. Thus our interest in Tucson, maybe Oracle which sits at 3500 ft
Oracle is about 10 degrees cooler. Super nice area. We sell a lot of homes in that area! Call me when you are ready. We would be honored to assist you!
I actually live in Scottsdale and own a home in Pebblecreek. But we sell a lot in Tucson. I'll be there a lot in the next few weeks. Heck of a commute but most of our clients want to look at all of the areas so we show them all from Quail Creek to Wickenburg!

I assume you live in Pebble Creek and not in the Tucson area?

Discrimination on the basis of age is illegal (unless Boomers say otherwise in 1988).
Not sure I understand where you're coming from with this comment? 55+ communities are not discriminatory. Age is not a protected class...
