We're in a owner owned park as well. We have been coming here for 4 years now and still rent. It's a beautiful park but as far as we're concerned the lots are all over priced. Our calculation is we could come here for up to 15 years and rent and still not be close to the price of the least expensive lot in the park. Not to mention that in the calculation we made we didn't firgure in the property taxes, POA fees or insurance. Besides when we decide we don't want to come back anymore we won't be faced with having to try and sell the lot. The two different lots that we have rented in our 4 years have been and still are for sale. Good luck on your decision and hope all works out. I should mention that we're not in the RGV. Our park is located in FL.
