I am from Ohio and moved here six years ago with my husband and daughter and we were certainly not thinking to locate to Florida when we wandered in.

Where do you live and what do you hope to find in a retirement area and when will you come to look at this place?

We will arrange a meet and greet for you if you want us to.

You are just like many of us who cannot believe this place when you hear about it ....WELL SIR, Just wait until you see it. We will recognize you by the incredulous look on your face as you walk up to the sales center at Brownwood.

I am surprised you aren't asking where to buy a golf cart. Usually that is a common excitement for wannabees.

OH..The developer owns the largest golf cart store too.
I am positive that I want to make a short visit to TV to learn more... possibly the Lifestyle Visit.

I am investigating several retirement communities in FL in different locations to visit as prospective places to rent in the winter. Beach vs Central

My more immediate goal is to find a location to rent in the winter.

But, I want to look at the community in which we choose to rent, as if I might buy.... because I might later.

If, after renting for a couple of years, we decided we really liked it, we might consider relocation. Not sure yet, that is a big decision in itself.

If I spend several years renting, I will have invested time, money, and energy to build relationships and understand the deeper details of the community. I want to make sure I Identify solid targets to consider for renting. Otherwise, I might just as well "throw the dart" to select it.

Since the financial part it is important, I figure I can learn some of that right now to Filter potential communities in or out based on that aspect.

TV appears to be more complicated than several of the other communities I have looked at so far. My guess is that it was done that way because it is so large.
