renting a good idea
We've rented ours for 3 plus years now, has worked out very well. I don't use a management co., just advertise on 2 websites. Haven't hear of JD Management co. What do they charge? I have a local careaker and a cleaning person. Otherwise, I'm the manager and do it via internet for the most part. My sister owns a home and has rented it thru the Villages Prop. Mgmt. I think I've done significantly better, but have also invested more time. Definitely covers all expenses, but doesn't cover the mortgage. Also can't use it during primetime, when the rents are the best. Still able to use it spring and fall. Still helping pay off the mortgage, and has been a good tax deduction.
I'd do it again.
