Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 2614120, member: 750"] We found the biggest part of moving out of CT was doing our research/ due diligence on what we wanted for a house/ community/ availability of shopping/ medical/ restaurants and entertainment. Once we had those lists we booked ourselves into communities for their "Stay and Play" deals. Usually 3 days and 2 nights of staying in the community, getting the sales pitch for new builds, and getting a feel for the lay of the land. Most important was talking to current residents and what they liked and didn't like about the community. And evaluating the level of activity in these communities. We did this for 4 communities. We kept a detailed log of all of it. We also had a realtor here in Florida to communicate with. We were not going to build a new house. We wanted resale. Our whole process took 3+ years, including selling our former house. [/QUOTE]
