Frequently Asked Questions

What does the application process consist of?

All prospective residents must complete a RealChek application, which you can print here or you can pick up in our office. Applications must be accompanied by a $20 (per applicant) check or money order made payable to RealChek.

Upon submission we will receive a credit report from TransUnion, information about your past rental history, and a score (from 0-10) based on this history. Things that affect this score adversely are: reporting false information, court cases against you/evictions, late payments, unauthorized people or pets, complaints, failure to maintain rental property, and/or damage reports.

A score of 5 or above is required for residency in any Constine Community. There is a special scoring system for those lacking prior rental history.

How do I purchase a home from Constine Communities?

Beginning the process is quite simple. First, decide which of our communities best suits you. Next, one of our sales representatives will help you find a home within that community. After you submit a RealChek application and receive a passing score, you’ll be approved to live in any of our communities. Then, a purchase agreement is signed and the financing process begins. If you don’t already have a funding source, we work with several lending partners who can review your application. Once financing is complete, you’ll be ready to close on your new home. The entire process is typically completed in 30 days or less.

What will my house payment look like?

If you require financing when purchasing a home from us, your house payment will depend on your credit score and the amount you have to put down. To get an estimate of what your monthly house payment might be, click here.

Can I purchase a new custom home from Constine Communities?

Yes! There are many styles, sizes, and manufacturers to choose from. We would be more than happy to assist you with this. Our knowledge can help you with everything from site selection to choosing the right home and options to fit your lifestyle and budget.

Can I move my home into a Constine community?

If you own a manufactured home in another community, there is a very good possibility that you can move your home into one of our communities. Our site manager will first do an inspection to make sure your home meets community standards. Then the RealChek approval process will be done and residency documents will be completed. Next, the site will be prepared and you will contract with a home mover. In no time at all, you will be back in the comfort of your own home enjoying your new surroundings.
