You are totally right EssexSue, it's not possible to retire to the USA unless you go via the EB5 route, which requires an AT RISK investment of $500k minimum (sometimes there are $250K but they are few and far between).
This is basically buying a green card.

As far as healthcare, for someone with Osteoarthritis, you would require a Rheumatologist and would possibly have to self-pay unless you took out health insurance at a premium because you have a pre-existing condition.

It depends on what they class as Celebration Donna. I've seen a few rentals who say they are 'Celebration' and they are most definitely not!

As an aside, there was a lady in the news who was buying at Champions Gate and when she realised her address would be Davenport, she wanted her deposit back.

That is absurd. Celebration has very definite boundaries. If you don't pay HOA fees to Celebration you aren't in it. I understand the businesses directly across 192 describing there location as Celebration but using it for other rental homes sounds like fraud to me.

Just watched this latest episode: probably me, but didn't enjoy it as much as previous episodes. I wasn't impressed with the choice considering they had a decent budget. I'm conviced the programme makers have to include specific areas, and are not showing a range of what's available.

As always, talk of rental income but never mention how much fees, HOAs, etc., are - some buyers may get a shock.

As for the £multi-million mansion - why? Again, I think they showcase certain houses/areas as part of some 'deal'.

I did learn something, though: I didn't realise that Reunion had a mix of properties; I thought they were all very, very high end.

Interesting to see the message on the credits regarding taking care buying property overseas, and using an independent lawyer; hmmm wonder what's been going on?

Yes, I hope so, too. Also hope they research further additional costs such as HOA/MC fees.

I'm OK, Helen, thanks. Would love to be there right now, enjoy every minute.
