Lease vs Own

CRF COMMUNITIES combines the costs associated with the land, community management, common areas maintenance, etc., into one low monthly lease payment.  This allows you to enjoy both long-term financial security and a worry-free lifestyle in a community that you can be proud to call home.  This is why 9 out of 10 people who purchase a manufactured home in Florida lease their home-site.  Here are some additional reasons:
