Our 2 homes in TN together cost about what this one does when you add up all the annual costs. The overall value of this house will come in at about 800k, the ones in TN total about 900k.

Up until now we used TN as the primary residence.

We lived in South Florida for a long time and would NEVER move back down there. Moved to Middle Tn in 2011 and seriously considering TV as a 2nd home. Hubby would not be ready for a full-time move yet. Going to visit TV in September to try and find a place! Just doing my due diligence reading these forums to make an informed decision. Also been watching YouTube videos, including realtor Robyn Cavallaro and the Villages Chief is very helptful
