As Rickg did, we purchased a resale patio villa a little over two years ago. If/when we get to the point of moving to TV permanently in the future, we'll perhaps get a different home......particularly with more garage space!
But in the meantime, our patio villa works perfectly for us. We would have preferred back then to have bought our "forever" home in TV but wanting to keep our on-going costs of ownership low, we opted to go the patio villa route.
Given when we purchased, we feel comfortable we'll do o.k. if/when it would come time to sell - - - provided, of course, that something doesn't take the housing market for a loop at some point down the road!!!
2BNTV said it well - Do whatever allows you to sleep well at night. Everybody's got differing priorities, different tolerances for risk, financial parameters, etc. You've gotta do what feels right and works the best for YOU!
