Thanks to the other posters for their excellent advice. To be honest, I thought this board might not be a good place to discuss all those unpleasant details with timeforchange, but you are both perfectly correct and right to mention them here. I was hoping that the "long chat with the financial planner and attorney" would bring out what you mentioned and possibly more. And to call buyouts messy deals is one of the more egregious understatements! They remind me of divorces!
timeforchange, none of us want you to feel we are in any way criticizing you or perhaps making fun of your plan. We just want to help you avoid making a decision at a time in your/our life that might cause you financial harm. Check it out with trusted advisers. You'll be (really) glad you did.
Best of luck on your investments and your new life here in The Villages.
