Although my wife was smitten with the idea of a new home, the LONG drive down to Eastport made her less eager, and I don’t want the big bonds of the new houses (I know, many say bonds don’t matter for various reasons, but I don’t want a new house bond.)

Maybe I should clarify my original question now:
How do you go about buying a (preowned) home in a community 1500 miles away from where you live?
Thanks to all who share their experiences.
I have one I can sell you and you will be 10 minutes from eastport, 8 minutes from sawgrass and roughly about 20 from Brownwood I am selling it mostly furnished and turnkey......My bond is tons less than what you pay for the new! House is only 5 years old and only lived in for a total of 3 years on and off.............its exactly what is shown in the pictures I can email them to you or text you the pictures........its a Courtyard Villa with a larger backyard room for a pool just under 1700 feet...........you would need to connect with a realtor but I will try to do it by owner as all we need is the title company from what I hear
