Behind the Wall - part 1

Many hopes, dreams and hearts have been shattered behind the walls of Upland Cascade Mobile Home Park.  Many of us have unwittingly placed our trust in individuals who ended up severely taking advantage of us.  Many of us could never have imagined that state and local officials would allow a business to prey upon the trust of individuals as Tatum Kaplan Financial Group has.  In this "Behind the Wall" series of our blog we will share some of the individual stories that have been and are still taking place in this nightmare of a park.  This first story involves an attempt to sell a mobile home in our park.

This is a 2002 Golden West mobile home that I believe was purchased in park  by its current owner in 2005.  A few month back, he put his home up for sale due to the "ridiculous rent" in the park.  The terms were to be take over payments with an approximate balance of $59,000.  A few days ago I passed by his home and found these sign showing a reduced asking price of $15,000! (Double click on the pictures for a larger view.)

 This is a 7 year old mobile home but still the owner has a problem selling it even for $15,000.  Don't let our management fool you.  This is not because of our nation's current economic situation.  The problem here is that of excessive rents, deteriorating park conditions and greedy park owners.
