Gracie, we should have known you were a Kindergarten teacher! Remember the poster "Everything I Needed to Learn I Learned in Kindergarten"? It should also say ...and on TOTV!

Just my 2 cents worth -
Came up for an LSV 2 weeks ago. Had a definite house in mind - Cottage home - Hammock! Even had an exact house/address. Long story short - loved the house but not the lot. Everything is a give and take. Found a house - an Anchor. Not our ideal house but loved the lot so we bought it. Not telling anyone to "settle" but unless you build your dream house you will eventually have to ascertain what features are important to you.

Absolutely. I so agree. Gracie's warmth and diplomacy shine through. I thought she might have been a teacher or a therapist. Now that we know she taught kdg. it makes perfect sense.

We just closed on our pre-owned courtyard villa in April after close to seven years of studying the situation in TV and religiously following this forum.
It was LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION up north and it is the same here... although for different reasons. If I could offer any advise at all it would be to be doubly cautious of any units location to roads (lanai facing road/cart path) , pickle ball courts and lanais in close proximity to neighbors lanai. Cart ride distance to groceries is important too. Maybe it's just me but I think about getting a quart of milk when I'm 80! Other than that you can hardly miss here. We just started using cell phones exclusively...no issues. No sales people of any kind have shown up at the front door...just great people with dinner for two newbies that were obviously worn out!

Graciegirl... great idea for a thread. Thxs. I can only stress, having been a frequent reader here, that anyone with a concern or seeking advice may want to voice themselves here on TOTV. So many friendly and wise contributors.

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.

Be aware of the Palm tree door knockers too!! I'm not saying that the Palm trees they are trying to sell you are good or bad. I heard pros and cons so do your homework before purchasing.. Again, talk to neighbors. If it is to good to be true then it is.

The problem here is that usually an issue cuts as much as it kicks. for instance a repeated complaint has been he abuse of a land line. Up north in Minnesota as the population increased instead of recycling phone numbers the stat expand its area codes hence no one had a recycled phone. Like one poster we too were assigned a recycled number and that guy was also a dead beat and for about five years we had collection agencies calling at all hours.. We want a land line in he event of an emergency. Comcast solved our problem with ID caller and now we can dcide if we want to answer a call or not.....
