Thank you so much for helping me with this, I will be in the area for Thanksgiving and will check with a local realtor....Warm Regards, Donna

Hi my name is Donna and I saw your post regarding buying a foreclosed home. Being on a limited budget, I continue to seek ways for me to afford living in the Villages. May I please ask you to give me a few steps to take regarding a foreclosed home in the Villages. Thank you soo much. I do like the manufactured homes but heard the insurance coverage isn't easy to obtain. Wishing you a happy day, Donna

If you like I can ask Judy to give you a call. I'll need your number.

I would just say that outside there is a significant problem with low income, drugs and other type behaviors. There is very little in the way of job prospects (career) outside the medical field. Mostly service work is what one will find in the area, and trust me, not all Villagers tip that well! That being said, if you have raised your son with any kind of sense, he will be fine. Like I said before, my two kids that came down here have done quite well for themselves and I'm sure your son will also!

Hi and thanks for your reply to my thread. I couldn't resist your offer of a PM. I think I'm already getting just a little taste of the "ALL KINDS" you refer to. Heheh. I'd welcome any "specific info" you might wish to offer. (Especially related to the culture shock you experienced.) I'm not really too concerned about my wife and I finding our way in TV. But of course I welcome all the information that I can gather.

Thanks again.

Steve
