Thinking of making a move

We are a married 43 year old couple with a 20 yr old son. We are seriously considering a move to DE to get out of NJ. We currently have a boat that we keep in a marina for 3000 per year. Our prop tax is over 6000. We are looking to be close to the water. Can anyone give be insights on what area may be good your us?

You%26#39;ll love DE%26#39;s prop taxes...I think you%26#39;d have to own a shopping mall to be paying 6K! I%26#39;m sure your insurance and auto registration costs will also be much lower.

Many, many water access communities on both the Rehoboth %26amp; Assawoman bays %26amp; their tributaries...%26amp; even more brand new ones springing up as I write this.

If you prefer small town living, take a look at Milton (on the Broadkill River) or Millford (on the Missipillion River) , these offer ocean/bay access %26amp; are close to Rehoboth for shopping/entertainment.

RE prices have escalated in recent years, but seem to be shifting to a buyer%26#39;s market. If you go with manufactured housing, I%26#39;d strongly suggest only buying one on a deeded lot, unless you want to risk being kicked out in a few years!

Thanks Daddio

We did go down this weekend and found a lot that we liked. Do you really think that they%26#39;ll kick you off those lease lands?

If you start reading the local papers, you will realize this has become a major concern for those on fixed income %26amp; other local workers who can only afford to rent. They have appealed to their legislators for protection.

Owners of rental communities, particularly water front %26amp; water view, are being bombarded with offers to sell to developers. Even those who are jacking the ground rents up as often and as much as they legally can admit it%26#39;s awfully tempting to cash out.

Thanks again, we did look at a waterfront property and the rents was 550 a month and I was curious what guarantee you have that they wil let you live on the land for years. Do any of them guarantee a certain amount of years? What do you here of those pot-nets?
