CIB,
My husband and I are thinking of moving to TV in a few more years. However, before we make the decision of moving there full time, we plan to just rent a place for a month or two hopefully at least once a year. At this time we are not sold on living there year round. The extremely hot weather, all the insects, and the economy in Florida are a few of the concerns we have.

Since you can't sell your home (and I am with you regarding taking such a huge loss), why don't you rent a place and just enjoy the time you spend there whether for a few weeks or months?

Oregon is a lovely state and you may decide after you stay at TV that you would prefer to divide your time between both places.
