1) Phone, TV & Internet provider, given that I only need it for 3 months.
2) Golf cart liability insurance
3) Homeowners insurance for rental properties. Will be switching from the one my mother has had.
4) Termite and pest control

Many thanks for your recommendations.

Sorry for your loss. Be particularly careful with a golf cart in a rental. Insurance will not cover losses and you could lose a lot in the event of an accident involving injury or death. Talk to an insurance agent. If it were me, I'd sell the cart and rent without cart to protect my own assets at least until appropriate insurance is available.

Also, be sure you are paying the county sales tax on the rental.

Termite and pest control companies abound. Don't pay upfront!
