I could go on, but do your self a favor, you are better off in the long run to buy a site built.

Yearly registration, like a car, is only paid on manufactured homes on rented lots. This has never been the case in The Villages. The lots are all privately owned, and the owners pay property tax, just like any other homeowners.
