My best advice - don't try to do it all and don't try to hurry. Not much can be enjoyed if you are rushing around and wind up too tired/burned out to be able to analyze and evaluate.
Since you have found TOTV, I assume you have also visited TV primary website...do you read the Daily Sun on-line newspaper?...have you visited any realty sites other than TV site?...
Here are some of the websites I found helpful when we were looking - they helped us purchase this past March:
http://www.thevillages.com/index.htm
http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/ [scroll down the menu on the left side and be sure to review the 'special publications']
http://www.lylesellsfla.com/The_Vill...n_houses.shtml
https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...play.php?f=139 [read the 'moving to the villages' posts #s 1, 2, & 3]
and just when you thought you had all the info you need - check out this websitehttp://www.virginiatrace.com/ for even more helpful stuff
