We live in Texas and plan to be at TV 3 or 4 times a year for about a month each time. Hopefully we can extend our stay a little longer. Our first trip to The Villages will be May 1, and it will be great to be there as residents rather than renters. Barb and I are looking forward to meeting our new neighbors!!!

Congratulations. I am sure it will be a good investment for you also. We are in almost the same situation although we will be moving to TV full time in September. In the meantime, we continue to be Babysitting Slaves ! We have discovered that we can make a decent income by renting our place in TV hassle free so far. If you are interested in learning more about that option, I would be glad to share our contacts and experience with you if you want to private message me. Best of luck to you.
