We don't enjoy renting, so we did just the opposite of what rjm suggests. We decided we wanted to live in "central Villages", and bought on our first visit in 2007. We've never regretted our decision for a minute! We wanted to get to know our neighbors and not rent in a new area every year. We wanted to hang our clothes in the closet, buy a king size bed, and customize our home with solar tubes and a birdcage. We wanted to know that when we travel, we can return to our home in TV, and our bed that is reserved only for our use!
I'm not suggesting this is the right way to do things. Some peeps like to go slow and take their time. Others like to jump in and swim. It's all good.
