I was also told that no more than 25% in the smaller villas can be leased out. It was recommended that I look at a cottage instead. Do any of you live in villas? Is it "difficult" in any way to live there because people in the villas near you are transient? I will be living by myself, but I suspect that my family will want to visit me more there because it's TV in Florida instead of Kansas City. Any home-buying suggestions are welcome also.
Had a neighbor who rented out his Designer house. I HATED it! Each renter brought his up north friends to visit and party. One monthly renter had four different couple friends from up north stay with him for a week. Like a flop house. Thankfully he sold out and moved back to Chicago.
