What changes hands in a sale

Make sure the preliminary title report lists the lot as well as the home. The home itself may still carry a California HCD title. If an owner installed the home on a permitted foundation system, a document recorded with the County Recorder makes it real property and HCD cancels its registration; state law lets owners in a converted resident-owned park use that ownership to qualify for the permit. Ask which applies before you choose a loan; see mobile home financing in Ventura County.

Expect an approval step. The association may screen a buyer whose home will stay, but ability to cover association fees and charges is the main test, and prior residences are the only other ground. Under HUD’s 55+ rules, the community must check ages through surveys and affidavits updated at least every two years. State law lets owners advertise a home for rent only where the association’s agreements do not prohibit it, so read the CC&Rs, rules and budget early.

Rancho Adolfo Estates questions, answered

Can a relative or caregiver live with me?

State law lets an owner share the home with a live-in caregiver 18 or older, and in a 55+ resident-owned park lets an owner 55 or older also share it with a parent, sibling, child or grandchild 18 or older who needs live-in care, with no fee charged for either.

Did state loans help residents buy?

Yes. HCD’s park ownership program helped fund the conversion to resident ownership in 1994, and its list counts 8 of the 250 spaces as low-income; the program also made long-term loans to qualifying residents. Ask whether any such loan or lien remains.
