Seems most of what I was looking at was electric. Would prefer gas.

Basically we haven't even found a place yet. We're coming down next week, renting for 2 months in order to make a choice, and then we are going to buy something. Not even sure if it will be a Villa but they seem to be most plentiful and many are within our range.

I needed a ballpark idea of what costs would be if whatever place we find would need that kind of work sooner rather than later. Since we aren't going to take a mortgage our "cash on hand" will be limited so we need to know how to allocate funds from our sale up here.

Thanks for all the replies .... we'll be down in less than 2 weeks.
