A New Comnpetitor
While they may be designed for short-term rather than long-term rentals, don't overlook the new competition from The Villages itself. The new houses and villas--I think there are almost 300--easy walking distance from Lake Sumter Landing are now in the final stages of being furnished. I've heard that each unit will be equipped with two new bicycles and a golf cart. They say that they're designed to fill the demand for the Lifestyle Preview program, but I've also heard that they will be available for longer-term rentals , as well. Introducing that many rental units into the market will certainly reduce demand for units owned by individuals/investors.
I'd be very careful making any assumptions about the possibility of renting other than January thru March.
