My kids on my property

[tooty]

We have 5 acres and are letting my daugther and son inlaw put a new modular home in the bottom corner.They are buying it,we are putting in the sevices and slab.Any comments good or bad.Oh,and one grandson with one more on the way.

Nice to see parents helping out kids. Wish mine would do just a tad more.

I assume you have checked all the by-laws with respect to buildings etc. Are there two residences on the property? How is the title on the property? Yours alone? If there are others on title then is it joint tenancy or tenants in common? Do you have any other children? If so, have you considered how this arrangement may affect your Will?

Just a few thoughts.

are you looking for info on modulars or the setup?
My first home was a modular...One thing I can advise is hold back some of the money until the home is setup and inspected by you maybe even lived in for 30 days! look for little things in two places on our lino they had cut to far and glued it down (like 4in cut out into the floor) , you couldn't see it until it had gotten dirty, they wouldn't replace it and I had nothing I could do about it but take them to court (pain in the a$$) a few other things- the core of the front door was cracked and after a week the latch and deadbolt were loose (all they did was glue the door- didn't hold), had a jacuzi tub and one of the nails had punched through the water lines (found first time used tub- they fixed that)
They make alot of promises about everything being the way you want it and waranty but once they have your money...

What brand was that modular?Also we own the property clear title.And we can put two residence on the parcel.Don't know how else they can afford a home.Our home and land is 1 mil or so.What kid has that kind of money.??

My grandson is only 2 and could run the backhoe by himself if I let him.Can't really say no to the plan can you?

[scoot]

I would say you are in for some babysitting the youngins

Wow, I wish my dad was that gracious, he is spending my inheritence so fast I may have to envoke power of attorney. IT is like he turned 65 and he needs a new truck and 5th wheel, I think he is going crazy.
