Redwitch watches over our place while we're away which works out great. We hire out all the service work: lawn and landscaping care, pest and termite control, and so forth. Got most of those referrals from our new neighbors and from the previous owners. There was a fellow already established with others in the neighborhood for doing exterior power washing once or twice a year so we hopped on that wagon as well.

Thank you all for your quick posts! MIL wants us to go ahead and get our place while she is still around and can enjoy our happiness. My biggest concern is our trips down will be few and far between, if at all. My "think" side of my brain says wait, while my "heart" side says "go for it".
Your responses have sure helped should my "heart" side win out!!
When I read Gracie's thread on "new vs pre-owned" and saw the number of people who own but aren't permanent as well as those who bought unseen, I'm starting to question my planned approach of selling our house here before buying in TV.
Thank y'all again!!
