or another scenario.... she gifts me the condo, I sell it but use the money to purchase a permanent home. who pays the tax?

The majority of families out there simply do not have the upfront costs needed to take out a mortgage and own a property.Going through the process...credit check, steady income, Debt-to-Income ratio....it is not possible for some.Maybe they are in the area temporarily because of unsteady work so buying a permanent house is not in the cards for them.There are so many reasons why people cannot buy, those of us who can and do own are lucky because we either have a good situation for it or we made a good situation for it.

If you do have one of those jobs and you've been there a while, you're in fat city.  

IIRC The fee is between $5 and $30-something per sf for development,  OR including someplace between 5% and 11% of units as permanently rent controlled/affordable.

Mobile homes can cash flow well, but I'd only buy them permanently attached to land so you can eventually sell to buyers using conventional or FHA/VA financing.

The rental demand far outstrips the demand for people looking to reside there permanently, which can in some situations create unusually high returns.

Been doing it since I met him 20 years ago.Lady the other way is an immigrant(no, not picking on them as my wife is one as well) that has never worked a day in the US and is recieving permanant disablity from SS.This country has started to reward not working as a life style.

Some small breeds get fat and go over, but I never really weighed on.
