I built my home (Iris - Designer) in 2012 and immediately put it on the long-term, unfurnished rental program. Last year, my long-term tenants moved back to Atlanta and I decided to put it on the seasonal rental market so I could enjoy it a bit. (We had to rent every time we came to TV and because most people won't rent with cats we only stayed for two weeks at a time!). If I had my way, I would be here full time. However, I have my almost 93 year old mother and my 89 year old aunt. Neither of them, want to move to Florida! I saved every penny of my rent money and not only did I furnish my home, I was also able to do some extra projects.

Mom would come down if I really forced it but my aunt won't. Knowing that now, I would loved to have a courtyard villa since I now have a puppy. The courtyard villas didn't work for me in 2012 -- the garages were too small, I wanted inside laundry, and none of the bathrooms were large enough to maneuver a walker into the shower! They have changed the floor plans and I really like the new Avondale model but its way out in the Village of Fenney!
