mgwano, the Lofts of Brownwood are not your competition as they are annual rentals and you are interested in renting your place out short term.
I bought in January and put my place in the Villages Hometown Property Management with the intention of renting my place out in the winter and, if possible, the summer. They got me a rental for January-March 2021 almost immediately. I have crunched the numbers and I figure income from the three winter months will allow me to just about break even, not counting major unforeseen expenses. I have no mortgage.
Hometown seems to be good at getting you a renter January through March, possibly December and April too. But any other month is probably unlikely. This is what they have told me and what I've heard from other people. I chose Hometown basically because they do everything including paying the taxes for you. I wanted to limit my involvement as much as possible.
Good luck whatever you decide.
