You have bought and sold, and are now in a rental and isn’t your spouse in real estate?

So are views of not a good time to buy, for potential new buyers or as an investment buyer?
Yes. I am a contractor/flipper. We sold and left the southern section because it did not fit our needs. At this time, we are currently renting a home in the Northern section of the Villages. We are looking to buy a preowned home that I will remodel to suit us. This will be our forever home. We experimented and enjoyed our adventures but it is time to settle down.

This is the first time in 18 yrs of living here that we are skeptical about the Villages' real estate. Both of us see many red flags that were not present in years past. We are trying our best to avoid pitfalls. As several posters stated, everyone should look at their own situation and do what is best for them.
