We have been vacationing with golf clubs all over the US. . . except the SW. many times on the east coast between SC and FL and some gulf coast. Mostly near the beaches. Friends of ours said to check this out, so we were looking for a December vacation location and we picked a weeks lifestyle visit in Dec 2018

Just when Marsh bend opened up. . and on day4, we happen to find a lot by ourselves which has a very nice view to offer, but not a direct water view, so it was very cheap, and purchased it. we put the saved money into the house. closed May 2019, spent the next 6 months furnishing it and then since we aren't ready, put it into the rental market.

Target retire date is Dec 2024 when we reach or nearly reach FRA. . .

so it was an impulse purchase with no ball fields, no everglades and no publix and no bridge to brownwood. . .

just got lucky, but have been through this get in early drill before, and chickened out and then missed a huge opportunity so that's why i acted on impulse, not willing to miss another potential nice opportunity
