Got to admit following this website for 5 years and becoming a sage sounds like it could have an interesting backdrop.

Well I wouldn't call it an obsession but I am an Engineer so I do tend to analyze/research the heck out of anything I do. Over these past 5 years I've averaged just over 3 posts per day. Not nearly as many as some. More than others. But this is a huge decision so I wanted to make sure I was comfortable with it.
It pretty much started with a Google search of Florida retirement communities. Then went down that rabbit hole. After we decided this was a good fit for us we made our trips down to see if it was too good to be true. When we decided to make the move the next steps in research started. Home models, Village location, where could we build a new home, cost. Then, what were others happy with about their homes. What regrets did they have. What did they wish they had done differently? Who are the good contractors? Who are the ones to avoid. The list of considerations are nearly endless.
Sorry for the thread hijack for those of you that came here for New Home Prices..
