Just thinking out loud here. I don't want to miss Spring at home. I don't want to be here during summer. I surely don't wnnt to miss autumn and Thanksgiving with my family. That leaves only December to add to possible Florida time and then I would be alone 'cause anybody else would want to be with their kids. I'd be better off spending some December time in Albany or paying the way for them to visit Illinois than renting another month down here.
And do I want to buy if I am only going to spend 3 months? The only reason to do that is if prices have dropped enough to do it as an investnent. so it would have to be a really good buy and condo for sure with the following requirements: ground floor, allows dog, southern exposure, pool for kids ,central (desirable) location, two bedroom, two bath, easy resale.
I would also want to make it available to renters other 9 months I'm not here, which means it would not really b e second home. Do I want to concern myself with that?
I think I am closing in on my best choice here. Stay tuned. Better yet, what do you think?

Ok....
Just some more food for thought as you work though it -- I don't have the answer for you (sorry)...
Would you miss spring if you returned to the heartland in May? Would there be any occasion that you would want to go down there for a brief visit in other months vs. only for the wintertime? Would you have to rent it out for all other months -- do they do weekly so you have some flexibility?
