As someone who owns a home in TV but hasn't been lucky enough to get to live in it full time yet, I think the 'rosy' picture you get here is pretty much the overall frame of mind of most everyone who lives there. About the only response I get when I talk to people that live there full time is "my only regret is we didn't do it sooner" or 'I wish we'd moved sooner'. Honestly, I have yet to meet anyone who says that they regret coming there to live. I too had my doubts and thought it was just too good to be true. We came down for LSP in May of 2007 and bought a house in November of that year. So far, we've just gotten to come down for vacations to 'visit it'. We have been lucky with renting it out a lot of the time when we're not there to help it pay for itself until we get to move in permanently. I'm really, really hoping that will be only about a year away. Have fun during your stay - I know you will! If you're interested in renting awhile - let me know...lol
