Most sound advises said rent for a year after the move to a new place before you buy. But I'm only interested in getting away from the cold for month or two. I was looking into buying but want but occupying more than two months out of the year. If lap swim pool is accessible to renter, I wouldn't want the hassle of owning a home at TV since I don't want the hassle of renting out when I'm not there.

I was able to get to travel abroad during winter months but due to COVID, I wasn't able to travel in winter 2020. Then I started searching and found TV. I like that TV has lap swim pool, road bike path, and jogging path. It would be good place to continue the training during the winter months without traveling abroad. Also, I could drive down there from NYC.

You thought and suggestion is appreciated from both renters and landlords. Also, what's the best sites to rent in TV for a month or two months? Thank you.
Why even consider buying a house and all the responsibilities that come with it if you are only staying for a couple of months?? Rent, and let the house owners be responsible for all the issues. Ok. So, the bed may not be as comfortable as yours. So? Consider it a long hotel stay since youre only there 2 months. Thats not even enough time to call it a second home. Its just a stop over
