And Pokemon cards! We donated son's cards to Goodwill, so perhaps someone got a great deal.
PS I sometimes read complete threads from beginning to end. I've learned a lot doing that. In this one, I've learned that financial acumen is somewhat rare. Several of my neighbors have done very well buying, renting, then reselling here in the Villages. They own several homes simultaneously. One they live in, and a few nearby they can rent to snowbirds and take care of. Of course, they have to have the capital and financial resources to do this. The last two years have been very good south of 44.
PPS Wife and I live in Marsh Bend, and we are happy with our home; we compromised. We have great neighbors, and are minutes away from the primary activities we engage in. If we were to move, we'd have to find a similar neighborhood, and start all over making new friends. We're sticking with the stock market to park our money. Much too late in life to start real estate investments.
PPPS We initially thought we'd buy and live somewhere between 466 and 466A. We are quite happy that we found Marsh Bend, south of 44. The price of resales has skyrocketed in the last year.
