Do not depend on anything from the Villages rental program. They are very choosy about the homes they put in their program and they can drop you with little or no notice. We dropped them after a year because they nickeled and dimed us for every fee imaginable, resulting in our receipt of only about 70% of the total rental income. They were a pain with all the extra rules and requirements about stuff like outdoor grills and golf carts. They will rent your place when THEY FEEL LIKE IT! You will not have any control over the occupancy rate or the times when you can use your own property.
We now rent our home through a manager who takes wonderful care of our home, for a more reasonable commission, and we make ALL the rules. He is unable to take on any additional properties but there are other agencies and private parties out there who do a similarly good job
