I have houses on my watch list from last year that still haven't sold.We spent the first 9 months remodeling it and added it to the rental pool Memorial Weekend.

I visited some folks near Phoenix that moved from here, they bought a very nice double wide and the park was a bit of a country club, golf, tennis, indoor pool, pretty nice, except they had no grass.
