I wouldn't do it. Use a Realtor/Rental Agency or rent from someone you know, otherwise it's a lot of money to get scammed out of. It happens all of the time. Also, if you, for some reason ended up not going, will you get your money back? I rented from an individual I met while in The Villages. I met her husband and was able to go through the condo before committing. We signed a Lease, agreed on all of the terms and gave a refundable deposit to them. Paid in full prior to the actual rental dates, but because of COVID-19, decided to hold off. We received our full deposit and all of the money we gave them. Be careful, is all I'm saying.
