RV lots in Florida for sale.

[Headhunter]

HI All: Well its that time of year when the sub zero cold for almost three weeks starts to freeze your brain. And again the thoughts of owning an RV lot in Florida where it is a lot warmer.

Has anyone come across any good deals, if there is such a thing on RV lots for sale in Florida. I just started looking at Luxury RV lots for sale and they go from the mild say $60K to the wild $500K and they seem to be all over the state.

I would like a nice shopping area, and a lot of nice restaurants in the area. Amenities are nice at the resorts but I really don't need the pools and saunas.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

$500K isn't all that wild. There are a few lots at Pelican Lake that have sold for near or at $1M. Lots currently listed are available from $200K to $900K. Its good that you know what you're looking for (nice shopping area and lots of nice restaurants). It seem that many of the resorts in SWFL have some rental vacancies. I would recommend heading down and checking out some of the places to see what works (or doesn't work) for you. Perhaps check out the Upscale Resort FB page / app for a list of some of the options.

Haven't gone down that road yet but have perused a few websites just to get an idea of pricing to determine if it's in the cards. Besides upfront costs, there are HOA fees that seem to range from $400-$850 per month. If you only plan on using it 3 months a year, you may be better off renting even though that comes at a pretty high price point.

We're in our third winter spot right now, but we're already scouting for a place in (or around) Ft. Myers. Turns out, Silver Springs is a bit chillier than we bargained for, so heading further south sounds like a solid plan.

I'll tell ya, living in an RV resort is an experience, and it can take some getting used to. But for us, it really boils down to a few key things:

• Winter weather needs to be "nice." And by "nice," I mean somewhere in the 70s or 80s, not the kind of "nice" where you need a jacket most of the day.
• A good poolside restaurant is a must. I want a place that serves up solid burgers, cold drinks, and has a TV tuned to the game. Bonus points if it attracts friendly folks who enjoy a good conversation.
• The resort life should have all the bells and whistles, even if I don't use them. A workout room? Spa? Sure, why not. I may never step foot in them, but it's nice knowing they’re there, mostly for resale value.
• 55+ only, please. I love my kids, my grandkids, and all that, but I come here for peace and quiet. The only yelling I want to hear is from the old gal at the end of the row after she’s had one too many margaritas and falls in the pool.
• A "good deal" isn’t just about price. I’d rather pay more for a place that appreciates in value than save a few bucks on a lot where the only thing going up is the HOA fees.

So when looking for "value", I look at the enjoyment I'm going to get for the 5 months a year I'm there. I want to see good appreciation, and I want some cool stores and restaurants to keep my wife happy. I don't play golf, but having good courses around isn't a bad thing for resell value.

Just my .02
