I believe the investment value of the Villages is dropping fast, increases in all expenses make a new purchase very tough if not impossible to profit from. The answer for now is short term rentals, Airbnb, ****, etc. to make ends meet. The other end of the argument is that this is why property values are currently so bloated and once the investment losses are realized be prepared for lower and more normal home values. I hope for the latter because the Villages have priced themselves out of the 55 and over market for high saving seniors as they made their hay on over the years. Enjoy what you have because you are blessed to be a Villager.
