The Villages is the "talk" of the real estate world.
Not as attractive as one might think. Some professionals relocating to FL might want to be on the coast. Others might not want a primarily geriatric patient population. Some might want to be associated with a University hospital. If they have kids, they might not want to be herded into a "family living" enclave. And their financial package is average at best, they have an EMR that is not user friendly, you are working for a corporate entity and have to follow THEIR rules in addition to all the other rules made by the government and the insurers. However, they do send out a nice recruiting postcard every month or so; I have a collection of several dozen, wonder what that costs them?
