I sold that land and put my retirement cash into a home in TV. Now I have my own private home with everything being mine. I stay from 4-6 months a year for about the same cost as Dad paid for 2 months rent, plus Dad gets to stay in TV each year for FREE. The balance of my family and friends also love to come visit, another great ownership bonus.

If I sold tomorrow I would be ahead of the game and would be lucky enough to have many years of enjoyment.


This is, in my opinion, the best investment in life I could ever of made!
Agree with everything in the above post and will add that whenever we visit our Villages home we can jump on a plane and the only thing we need to bring is our IPad and house keys. It's so nice to get to our home, filled with our stuff, rather than a rental. We even have the exact same bed and sets of golf clubs in both Florida and up north.
