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.

simple reason for that, The Villages has a population of 100,000+ as opposed to 3-8,000 as most others are, The Villages has over 40 different golf venues as opposed to the SINGLE venue most have, some have a ball field, The Villages has one of, if not THE largest softball complex in the US, and a Polo field, etc., etc.
