Windsor Hills Ownership??

[work2play]

I know that there are a number WH owners that post on this board, and I am looking for a little advise! My DH and I are considering buying a 3 br. condo or townhome in the Orlando area. I am pushing for WH, the development looks beautiful and I would expect that the occupancy rate would be higher than some developments that are farther away from the "magic". Can you share your experience relative to occupancy? What are your lessons learned relative to owning a unit? It looks like HOA and taxes run around $650/mo. and I would guess we would need to budget another $250 for utilities.. How do you handle property management? Since we do not live in FL, can you get a company to handle repairs and cleaning? It looks like many of the owners handle their own rentals and I am comfortable with that... Am i missing any big costs?

Since the housing market has slowed and interest rates have come down a little, maybe now is a good time??

Any advise is appreciated!

Try doing a search on these boards about that. There has been a few threads in the past months about that topic. Some of the owners gave good advice to those who asked.
