Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Matt, a couple of members here do own lots and should chime in. I will however tell you that much like any real estate investment location, price, market and a little luck dictate profitability....

You can see what we have on our website. Look in the RV Lots section.

You have to figure the numbers carefully. But we have no issue renting the lots we own....however we are VERY selective in what we purchase.

Retama Village is relatively expensive - as you would imagine for a high-end luxury property. The costs for everything: HOA, taxes, garbage, sewer, water, and minimum electric run right around $2800 a year. The HOA fees give you complete lawn care, and trimming of landscaping, and mulching. It does depend on how may sq. feet of property you have. That is for phase 1 lots. It will vary a little from that.

You can make that back, and more, through rentals. Take a look at the Retama Rentals website if you have not seen it yet.

Thanks for the lead Jack. I checked your website - excellent! I saw your maintenance/fee cost for Arizona. Do you mind sharing what your holding costs are for your lots in retama village? Thanks.
