rshoffer, that may be a good deal, but with us not lloking at homes in TV only the CYVs Savannah because we want smaller then we have now, and a super small zero maintence yard, and privacy, all of which I can get in The CYV, and it is a stand alone home. I can get all this right now, brand new for roughly $180 and that includes all the upgrades we want. Now granted we have to get the upgrades put into the CYV after we buy, since they are all built to spec, but no problem to us, time is on our side.

shermark, first THANKS! The Army is all I have ever wanted to do. Second, we have looked around and for us what me & the wife like TV has it all. When we were making our list of places our top one before seeing TV was in Myrtle Beach, same sqft but a triplex condo was going to be about $280. To join the golf course, $20,000 then $130 a month min. Me & wife golf so that was a biggie for us. Then they had basically zero anything else, except a beach cabana on the ocean. Neither me or wife cared about that. they did have neighborhood pools. Maint fee was $350.00 a month, which included insurance. I did a check with my company and it will only cost me $40.00 a month in TV. So dollars and cents wise TV is dirt cheap compared to anyplace else. And we like all the activities we have options to do.
And you can believe that we will look as we say in the Army, "down in the weeds" as we already are! I am very detail oriented so is the wife. So we will definitely kick the tires, etc before we sign for TV.

But all in all, it boils down to personal choice and what we each want in our lifestyle. No person is wrong, no person right. We each choose what is best for US. And that is why for the past almost 30 years and a few more months I put the uniform on. That is what makes the USA the envy of the world and why some would like to see it go away!
