Hi Sabrina & Bill
I have been visiting Orlando regularly since 1985, and bought in 2004 - only to loose the home as the developer was a fraudster... we will be living 6 months UK 6 months USA, it’s not stressfull - just an extended holiday which is always a lot of fun planning.
We have had a few ‘discussions’ on which house style. We pretty much concluded on a Mossy Oak, I will sort architectural elements and my wife the colour scheme. We did see our perfect home a year ago up north but it sold under a week. It amazes me the speed of sales, in Europe homes can take over a year to sell, in the UK 3-6 months is not uncommon.
We have had the debate north vs south, especially as we are long distance runners so will be running with TV running club who meet on Tuesday & Thursday at 7am @ Lake Sumter - getting up at 5am is not my idea of fun. But I figure we will be mid way between Brownwood & town 4, and whilst we are on the outskirts today over the next 25 years we will become central while the north will become far nirth. We also have to be realistic that our time in TV will probably be a max of 20 years, as its virtually impossible to get travel insurance over 80 at affordable prices. We have free healthcare in UK (because we pay 25.8% tax for our healthcare & state pensions) so can’t turn our backs on UK. That will be the hardest part. It also means we have to limit how much of a life we make in US.
