As long as we are under 20%, then all sales are ok. So, no one has seen a sale get nixed. How does anyone know what that would look like until it happens?

I know because I bought via a private sale. The seller used an outside real estate agency to list their home. The Villages didn't vet us. They didn't ask us if we had kids moving in. They didn't ask how many pets we had, they didn't ask if we were over 55 - until closing day when they took our out of state licenses to confirm our identities (we hadn't moved here yet, so obviously we didn't have Florida IDs yet).
If we were age 52 and 53, had two grandkids age 8 and 9 moving in with us, they would not have known until we tried to get Villages IDs for them. And by then, it'd be too late.
