Ownership options
A cash purchase or qualifying loan typically gives the homeowner ownership, subject to the agreement. Review total price, loan fees, term, payment schedule and any obligations.
Lease terms
A lease generally means the provider owns the equipment and the homeowner pays according to the lease. Review payment changes, maintenance commitments, home sale provisions, transfer rules and any buyout clause.
