We will rent for a month or two down at TV and will look to buy soon. Once we find a house to purchase we will need to contact the moving company and make arraignments to have it all shipped down to TV. Any thoughts, tips or advise?

Thank you, John ( User name OU812 )
I would not do what you are doing. Can you stay at your current location longer say 6 months.

Rent for a couple of months and see where you want to be and if you like this place at all.

Once you buy a resale might take a few months to close. If you want a new build another 3-4 months after you decide.

I have had stuff in storage in the past and
1. It is expensive
2. Somehow stuff gets broken.
