My wife and I had been down several times. Were going to buy then not buy then going to buy then not buy. Then we came down weren't going to buy didn't even bring a check book.

Got to our rental and checked in with the person we were renting from. She asked if we were going to purchase (she isn't in sales) and we said no that we decided that we would rent and keep our home in Indianapolis as we wanted only one home. She said that many people do the opposite and live in The Villages full time then go back North and rent for a couple of months or so in the Summer. It is cheaper to rent a place up north in the Summer than to rent in The Villages in the Winter. We purchased 3 days later. This was 5 years ago and we moved here full time 3 years ago.

We have talked to several people about house sitting up North while they take extended vacations and don't like leaving their home unattended.

Only problem is after you move here you don't want to leave for an extended time. I am going back to Indy for 10 days next week but don't want to stay any longer than that.
