Hi John,
You make a good point.
The first time we rented in 2007, in the fall, we got really close to making an offer on a patio villa in Sunset Pointe. It was in the villa neighborhood that is very close to Cane. A great location. But because it was a second home decision and because we had responsibilities elsewhere, we decided to not be in a hurry.
But I have continued to be interested.
When we were there recently, we seriously considered a very nice courtyard villa in a great location.
I also think sometimes about buying on the historic side because the pace there is lovely. And buying there can work really well for snowbirds. So that is on my radar, too.
And then I even think sometimes about buying a ranch or a designer. But for owning two -- that could get pretty expensive. And I really do not think anybody is ever going to hire Mr. Boomer and me again for good jobs. (And besides when somebody hires you they always expect you to show up on certain days and at certain times and oh, your know how that goes...or went.) So I am pretty cognizant of cash and cashflow.
And then I think....ohwhattheheck, just rent for a year and figure it all out.
But whatever, I am getting closer to a decision. It is time to do SOMETHING! Ohio is ugly stuff in winter.
Anyway, I really do value the thoughts of those here on TOTV. And I know that so many of you have sought the same answers as I am seeking with this thread I started. And you bought and you are glad you bought. I just would like to understand a little more about the specifics of governance.
