It is...as far as I know...fairly comprehensive as it's been compiled with the help of my ten-year Villages veterans....my parents.

If you were blindsided by any monthly home costs, I would appreciate your insight.

You have my appreciation, in advance.
Monthly home costs was not blindsided. At closing, the actual closing cost I was because the costs in Florida were much higher than any closing cost I ever paid in Tennessee or Illinois.
