Although he may have said it very negatively, Villageshooter is correct. From a purely financial standpoint, buying in TV or most other places to be a part time resident is extremely expensive. Any CPA will confirm this. I am a CPA and have looked at the scenario for a number of clients. If you are not going to occupy your Villages home for 8-9 months of the year, you should rent if you want the financially sound alternative. It will cost you less! I stress this is purely form a financial standpoint. You would be much better off to keep your money invested in the financial markets and rent than to spend it on a second home which you occupy part of the year. If you have unlimited funds, buy whatever you like, but if you are an average person who wants to make a decision based on sound financial principles, be careful and talk to your CPA.
