Thanks hugh_man!
I really appreciate all the advise I can get at this point.We have talked about getting a place in Spain for some years and now it´s finally decided. Next fall at the latest we will have our own place. It seems a good time to buy and we are not dependent on rental income. We just want to assure ourselves that the community we choose will survive and flourish some time in the future. Prio 1 for us is to prolong the golf season (Sweden has a fairly short season for golf) and that we have the ability to play golf without having to use the car all the time. Prio 2 is to have the beach at a fairly short cycling distance and prio 3 is a nice village within cycling distance.
Roda seems like a very good choice, it´s only Oliva Nova Golf Resort in the Valencia area that possibly can compete as I see it now. So, our only concern right now is the stability of the community. I´ve heard that the total cost for the community fee and tax etc. is about 240 euro a month. Is it for example a risk that the community fee will be even higher for a couple of years? What about maintenence of the area. Pools, gardens, club house?
Well, these are questions that I guess do not have an answer, but perhaps you can see some signs locally in whatever direction?
Anyway, new years eve party at the Club House sounds great!
