Here are the questions:

  1. What are your recommendations to look for in deciding on a new home builder in the village?  Should you have a full home inspection by outside company upon closing on that new home?  Why does Brick seem to be the most used siding inside HSV?
  2. My husband and I are planning to move to HSV. In looking at properties online, I’ve noticed many people sell within 2 years of buying. Why?  Are they typically relocating within the  Village, or is there a predominant reason they are unhappy with living there? Thanks for all the great info from you both. HSV Inside Out has been a great resource!
  3. We are putting our house on the market in San Antonio next week.You had mentioned an Airbnb you all had stayed in. Are you aware of any that might be willing to do long term rentals say 3-6 months ? We may be short term homeless until we ca purchase a new home. 😊 Appreciate any knowledge you may have.
  4. Hot Springs Village sounds too good to be true. We’ve not yet visited, but are planning to come this summer. What are some downsides?
  5. We can’t thank you enough  for the youtube videos you produce. Extremely informative !!!! You certainly have great subject matter and are easy to listen to and understand. My wife, and I are planning our 2nd trip to HSV this May. We are staying at a VRBO inside the village (East end). Same place we stayed last time (that was October 2024). We have visited 3 places in South Carolina, and 2 in Tennessee. But HSV is the first we’re visiting for a 2nd time. Our plan, at this time is to think like we lived there. Drive to Little Rock and Hot Springs (for shopping, and mostly doctors, well their offices). Take some hikes, maybe I’ll play a round of golf. visit the fitness center. Look at the stars… go to Walmart and the grocery stores. Just wondering if you had anything specific we should or should not miss. An activity, a trail, a restaurant. One real estate thought. We live in a NW suburb of Chicago. Nice neighborhood, good schools. We have a 1,650 sq ft house (3 bed 2 1/2 bathrooms). And believe it or not, we’ll be lucky to buy a house (new construction or less than 5 years old) in HSV for what we can sell our house for.
  6. I have a friend who recently inherited a house in the village and we would like advice on the possibility of holding an estate sale.
  7. We’ve been reviewing houses for sale inside Hot Springs Village online. If we wanted to do some rennovations – like new flooring, painting, and maybe moving one wall or creating another rear opening – what advice do you guys have on finding a good contractor?
  8. In one episode we recall hearing Randy talk about the grade of lots and how some lots might not cost as much as others, but the cost to build on them might be substantially more. He mentioned having a builder look up using their software so we could estimate the building costs in advance. What if I’d rather not contact a home builder, is there some other way to make a wise decision?
  9. Is there a bad time to come visit Hot Springs Village?
