Not Don but just a comment from what I recall from prior posts here. I think that others in NY used a Uniform Commercial Code filing (UCC) to secure their notes. This may be a situation where the state did not title homes older than a certain year but I cannot recall exactly (hopefully Don can clarify).

Thanks for the info.Don i get out that way about once a year for a Bills game.I found a friendly park a couple days ago and the manager warned me about a seller and is giving my number to someone else who wants $6000 for a trailer and has a possible buyer but they need help with the financing maybe i can make it work.The park is owned by ARC,any experience with them or is more likely to be dependent on each park manager like i think it will be. Thanks

Ken,
I am near Rochester. As far as I know homes 1995 or newer are titled just like a car (a dealer told me a few 1994’s were also titled). Older than that they are just personal property. But I just bought a home that says 1996 on all the paperwork but does not have a title? I have never filed a UCC but I checked into it a little and it is done at the county clerks office. I always do an Ernest Tew type lease option. That way it is an eviction not a repossesion, plus I can evict faster than the park can. In NY it is a 90 day minimum process for occupant owned MH eviction. Where a tenant eviction can be done in 30. Even though I cannot go because a conflict, I strongly suggest Tony & Scott’s Bootcamp in August. If you ever get over my way let me know, we can jaw over a brew.
