Sure, folks like to rent before considering to buy.. however, isn’t that what The Villages Lifestyle Program is for? We do not truly live in a Retirement Community, we do, however live in Vacation Club Community.
I do understand your valid complaint. The Villages still beats the pants over any other place similar I have ever encountered.

The rental issue and the general business issue all over the world points to a very dismal economic situation for all of us inhabiting the planet.

I will repeat the advice I have given to my children over and over and over. Take a deep breath and save your money.
