That is exactly the type of response(s) I was looking for so much appreciation! I do know I put 12-18 months as the parameters, I/we are fairly picky and I was born in California, lived as a toddler outside of Orlando in the early '70s, and was an AF Brat until 1980 roughly. I have lived all over, but my wife however is a homegrown Minnesotan. Her transition will be a little more of a challenge but she loves the beach and warmer weather. We are planning on doing a lifestyle visit around April of this year to also iron out the ease of getting around, a small taste of the environment, etc. I am a white-collar guy, been in sales for years so the community thing is an important part... but not gonna lie driving around in a Gold Cart community makes me laugh a bit! Simple things will bring me joy lol!
Noted about the different communities, would love interest rates to come down doesn't appear to be, then prices will rise again. I guess with my timeframe I have opportunities to wait for a good to great deal... I read in another post inherited houses that sit for a bit may entertain some lower offers to not continue with payments/expenses.
Looking at unincorporated for taxes is interesting to learn, are the services from that community then shared? Valuable feedback...
Why do you like your communities? I certainly get the younger vs older vibe... I am one that can be best friends with a 20 year old and then same with an 85 year old, I love the different aspects of people. My wife is an older soul so she gets along with anyone, can't get any sweeter. Whether she feels comfortable is how you will know by her chatting more lol!
Thanks my hope to be peeps!
