We have decided, as we have enough for our down payment, to start looking for a house then, and purchase, and use the time to do any decorating we want to do, and use it on weekends and vacations, and holidays till we can move full time. As we are in Tampa, this is very feasible. We are in an area that has many foreclosures that need to be "moved out" before our house is even going to get to a break even point again. Background over, to the questions: Has anyone had to replace a roof and what did it cost? Does anyone use a service to take care of their house because they are not there all the time, or do you feel getting ADT and contracting for lawn services separately, would be all we would need? We didn't like our Villages rep, how can we change him?
I will thank you in advance for any and and all recommendations. We recently talked with several "Villagers" while on our Western Caribbean cruise. It's seems the softball group was with us on the ship!!

We were lucky enough to hook up with Conley Hall as our sales rep who babied us the whole time we were there. We looked forward to his efforts to show us as much as he could about Village life and the variety of different homes that were available "IF" we were interested. If not that was fine too. You can't go wrong hooking up with this fine young gentleman.

P.S. 1776 Ashwood Run in Pennecamp is rising and will quickly become ours.
