So...on the buying front. What would you do?
Would you buy an older place (18 years old) in the best location that has a bunch of updates but still needs new: paint job, appliances and furniture. Needs weeding and power washing of lanai and new furniture there too plus need to buy a hot tub for out there. But the place has 1st floor bedroom for the grandparents if they visit.
Or...a place farther out and not as rentable but is newer (10 years old) and all updated and really cute plus already has hot tub on lanai. Though don't know how well 10 year old hot tub is working or AC and hot water heater (other place has 4 years old replacements of those). And all 3 bedrooms are up stairs. But it would be like 5-8K less to buy.
Both communities have similar amenities though I know older place stuff is all open and usable where the newer place stuff is still closed (worry some may not ever reopen, specifically the bar/restaurant).
