For example, as I have read on TOTV, some people sell their home up North first. Some buy in TV first then sell up North. Some buy in TV within 2 years of retiring, and some 5 years or more.

I would like to buy soon, as I believe the market is good for purchasing with the great interest rates. But at the same time I do not believe with all the extra fees involved in TV that it would be a very good investment over a 10 year period. Although I do believe if you are going to buy and not resell it could be worth it to get the head start.

I am interested in your experience with purchasing in TV and why you purchased when, meaning at what stage of retirement.

Thank you in advance for your sharing of your experience.

Thank you all for your input, opinions and experiences. This was exactly what I expected from you folks. I'm still a ways off from joining all of you, but like most in my situation "I CAN'T WAIT". But I have to. I don't want to put most of my savings eggs in the same basket. (Real Estate) Although I expect like many of you, that real estate is going to go up. I need to stay more diversified at this point, but maybe in 5 years when the trip south gets closer I will reevaluate the market and my nest egg.

Thank you again,
