As to the appeal of the retirement areas there is less work and only quiet old people. Like me now only I'm not eligible.
Agreed, if you can afford a property management company that makes it a purely financial transaction and a lot more appealing in my view. barfo
1) All RVs are not the same. If you are planning to living in it all year long, you want a 4 season RV. Most RVs are 3 seasons only. The difference is, a 4 season RV will have insulated water and holding tanks. 2) I agree with the poster that mentioned shopping for a used one. Now that gas prices are spiking again, used RV prices will be dropping. Also look into Repo units. 3) I also agree with the poster that mentioned finding your parking space before buying. Then add the price of parking into your budget. Many RV parks now cost as much as low end motels.
I think since what you are really talking about here is, at heart, a real estate transaction, I think you should get some professional advice. I recommend Essential Consultants, LLC. They've recently helped a lot of people with 'real estate' issues. barfo
Well I just looked up sites near me in the north bay CA and the cheapest full hookup I found was $725/mo plus $50 site fee plus electricity for a grand total of about $900 per month.
