As I look down south, I recognize that the likelihood of having neighbors closer to my age, goes up as I look at potentially buying new. Eastport will, as I perceive the intent, soon be filling the needs of southern Villagers now filled by Lake Sumter Landing, Spanish Springs, and Brownwood.

Buying new comes with a different set of costs, but has the allure of being a "blank canvas" on which I can paint while I'm working from home....upfit it to my exact tastes, out of employment income..

Can I hire you to be my consultant?

don’t get me wrong we loved to visit our two WW guys, but average age in our neighborhood was mid 80s and up. With a few new sprinkles of I bought the dead guys house, (that was us, and we always lived in _their_house.) Have learned many things since 2007, you may send a message or email at anytime, LMK when arriving If I can help in anyway would be happy to. At one time we had 3 TV houses and our northern home. I am so budget oriented, with handwritten/computer spreadsheets it’s is kind of scary.
