Congratulations on your decision to move to TV. I also made that decision and moved here, sight unseen, 3 months ago.
I tried to rent a place before buying but had a hard time finding a suitable and reasonable house that would accept my little dogs. I’m picky and most don’t have enclosed yards with grass.
I ended up buying a court yard villa that needed a lot of updating. It has turned out very well for me although not an easy process! Appliances were back ordered for 60 days. I still don’t have a working stove. Keep that in mind if you buy something that needs updates.
My recommendation is to rent for at least 6 months in order to really define the area you want to live. Do buy or use a golf cart to make the stay realistic. That’s really what helps to make TV unique and fun.
I already know that I will buy a bigger house with a yard in a year or two.
Best wishes for a smooth move. You will love it here!
