I have been looking online for awhile. You can pick a lot and build or buy one they have built already on spec. or buy a re-sale (owned by someone other than the developer at least for awhile) I have noticed that all pull up the same model tour or the one that was used six months ago. Some say house similar to this some don't have that disclaimer but I have been told none of them are the actual house for sale. If you are looking at a resale listed in the MLS it usually has a tour of the real house but sometimes it also has a tour of the model with a note house is similar to this model but the still shots show the actual house. I would think that if you narrow it down to a few the cost of the airfare would be worth it to take a look. If the model is expanded it usually says so in the listing and the floor plan on the site is for the unexpanded. Lyle grants list of floor plans is invaluable for re-sales as they have changed the names of the models over time for the same plan. (I got an adobe file with links off this site in a post of his some place it is not on his website but I bet he would email it to you he seems nice and helpful) We are going to take the advice of the TOTV people and try to rent in three areas two months each so we are sure 100% were we want to be then be bide our time to find the right house. I hate to say it but in an over 55 community I would think there will always be units for sale as people decide to move near their kids or a spouse dies etc.
