Of the houses I own, I live in one - and if the good Lord is willing - I will die living in this house. I love it. Another house we bought for my father-in-law. The third house I'm trying to sell.
In addition to paying the amenities fees, I keep the lawns and homes maintained impeccable. The houses I've bought and flipped have been remodeled and made to look completely new again. What I've done has improved, not only the houses, but the immediate neighborhood and TV as a whole. I've put money back into the area. I have a big vested interest in the area.
For the life of me, I can't understand why you or anyone else would have a problem with me selling houses in TV. Would you mind explaining that to me please?

BK, I think you may be addressing me... but I don't have a problem with you selling houses in The Villages. I have a problem with yard signage because it clearly is a cheap tool for realtors and is an eyesore for most people and houses may be sold just as easily through other other, less intrusive techniques.
I'm not interested in "professional" renters because this is my home. I don't want the house next to me being moved in and out of constantly and the traffic that goes with the rental. I think that's a pretty human feeling. We want neighbors. Flipping is not my cup of tea either since it usually means making pretty and no substantial repairs to the structure, ie: wiring, roofing, plumbing and so forth. You are probably the exception but most flippers rule of thumb is cheapest effort in to get the biggest bang out. I'd like to see homes sold on their merit and repairs and enhancement completed by the proud new owner. That's my feeling only and doesn't make flipping right or wrong and that's why I stated there are methods for selling those homes too.
