Thanks to so many of you for your heartfelt and thoughtful posts; thank you OP for the original post which has led to discussions of many things to consider.
Whenever I have a big decision to make - and moving to another community is a big decision, I research as much as I can which would include extended visits if possible when considering a move. Then I make a list of wants, don’t wants, must haves, can’t haves. After narrowing it down to my possible choices I do a pros and cons list, weighting various factors for each possibility. Then I sleep on it a while and eventually go by my gut which really is what the subconcience of my brain is telling me after it has processed all I have given it. No move is without trepidation and rarely is irreversible, but at some cost.

This got me thinking, are there retirement communities of any prominence that do not allow owners to rent out their houses?
I do agree that renting has become a problem...in some cases. |

Fear Not!
Fear not my friend! Life is short and you will never know until you try.

I'm not positive but I believe there are sections in Fenney that do not allow short term renting.

What sort of rental problem have you experienced?

Meth heads. No skin in the game with rental houses sometimes. Many on here have mentioned lawns not being kept up etc.

Why anyone would want to move back to the snow is beyond me. I would add that 95 degree days in Wisconsin are WAY worse than in TV - no rain or breeze like you get down there, and August and early September can have a lot of that. I have spent a lot of time in August in TV, and I would take it over Wisconsin any day. The other thing I have read is people wanting to move back to the city. Not sure what they are missing unless it is the Crime, High taxes, and Traffic......

To the OP -
Glad you started this thread because there has been a lot of good advice given on here. Hope you are taking notes. One thing I heard today that I think many of us women in particular are prone to - "Don't let your emotions dictate your decisions." Often times one can't help but be emotional over big life changes such as the ones you are going through. But taking practical steps like those mentioned on here by others - list pros/cons, likes/dislikes, visit TV a few more times, rent first, etc - will build confidence in your decision making and hopefully diminish the emotional component somewhat. Also, if you are able, take your time if you are feeling uncertain. Unless there is a pressing reason, why rush into something that you don't feel ready for? Again, wishing you all the best. |

We moved here 22 years ago from NYC to get away from people. Looks like they all followed me. Great life style.
