Just a quick note - it is quite costly to be in The Villages rental program. They take a considerable amount of your profits. If you do decide to go the rental route, if you have the inclination, you may wish to do it yourselves. We placed ads in the Daily Sun, as well as online, and screened potential rentors with a list of questions. We didn't allow pets or smoking and we got a security deposit, and had them sign an extensive lease with a lot of do's and don'ts in it. We had a cleaning lady come in who kept us aprised if there was any damage in that we would need to keep part of the security deposit (we never had to do that). You're generally renting to retired couples and they tend to be good tenants.
