The question is do we have the Villages rent our place or do we try to do it ourselves. I figure that you all probably could tell us how easy or hard the process of renting out a place is.
Lastly, I don’t probably know how to properly use the site so please up front, let me profusely thank you all! The few questions I have put up in the past have been met with greatly helpful answers and offers. You have all been so kind!!!! Thank you!
So………. Do you have any comments, suggestions, words or wisdom in regards to renting an unfurnished home at TV??

We did this two years ago. Suggest using a local agent, unless you have someone around here who can help you. For example if there are any problems they have the resources to find someone to take care of the problem. In addition someone is going to need to show your house to persepctive renters. 2 years ago year round rentals were difficult. Not a lot of demand for 12 month rentals. We rented out a 3/2 and felt lucky to get $1500 a month and the renter did not pay the amenity fees. Without a mortgage we netted out $750- $850 a month. Was a good tax write off for us.
Good luck. In our case our tenant was better off than us.
