Thank you all for your thoughts & suggestions. I find it encouraging & very helpful. If circumstances permit, I’d like to make a lengthier visit in the fall & get a better feel for the community. My family has been supportive & have encouraged me to consider TV. Truthfully, after my visit last December, I began looking at properties remotely with their help. It quickly became apparent though, that relying on them to go to open houses, make appointments to view listings & reporting back to me, was putting an unnecessary burden on them (& stress on me). Added to that was my concern about it being the right place for me. All in all, it wasn’t the most ideal situation, so I put a purchase on hold. Given what’s happened this year it was probably the right decision.
My original plan was to work a few more years, and I didn’t feel the need to rush into anything. I’m working remotely & very fortunate to still be employed, however these last 6 months have made me reevaluate my original timeline. There’s so much to consider & plan for, that it’s good to know there’s a supportive community & it’s one less thing to worry about. Thank you again.
