Default The Villages Hometown Property Management Short Term Rentals
Is The Villages Hometown Property Management owned by the developer? Check-in for these rentals is at The Villages sales office in Lake Sumter Landing if that is any indication of ownership. What looks like the official Villages logo appears on the website.

The home page features "Patio Villas starting at $400/week" "Courtyards and Cottages (Ranch) starting at $500/week." "Vacation like a millionaire."

Just for curiosity, I went on the HPM web site, typed in furnished rentals for 11/1/2018 to 11/8/2018, and 82 rentals are listed as available located all over The Villages.

So if HPM is owned by the developer, then the developer is also profiting from the short term rental market in The Villages. That is probably not new news to most of you.
