Be sure you read the deed restrictions, many people do not and have trouble later, these are different in different areas of TV. Ask questions if you can of people in the area you are considering, some have more renters than others, we have very few, and almost no snowbirds. July and August tend to be hot months, look at your proposed house orientation, a west facing garage will be HOT. We found a North facing front, south facing lanai to be very nice. Houses on golf courses have good points and bad points, be sure to consider both, we specifically stated we did not want a water view or golf course view due to some of the concerns we had.
Hope this helps, and I hope you find your home.
He said they're moving in TV in August, so I think they've already found a place.
