Any thing we should look out for before we buy?

Rex, Welcome to TOTV. Keep reading TOTV and post questions and you will learn a lot about TV. Do you and your wife want to buy a new CYV (courtyard villa) or a resale? Read up about bonds on TOTV if you want to buy new construction. Resale CYV's will have a lower bond balance than new construction, or no bond balance left as the previous owner has paid off the bond. If you want to see the greatest number of home for sale, you will have to get both a TV sales rep. and a MLS realtor/real estate agent as they don't share listings. You may want to consider renting in a village or two before you buy to see what location you would like to be in. I'm sure TV veterans will post suggestions and feedback for you. Good luck to you and your wife.
