My brother uses a management company to rent his home. No str as they beat the heck out of a home over time or possibly all at one time.

My brother says "Guido" (ya know from the movies) will take care of "it". No worries for my brother on finding and managing all details.

With a pool and golf cart there is extra liability on one's part. Those items could really hurt an owner. My brother has neither. Rents his home up by SL for $5k a month. % started at 10 last I knew of. Could be 15 to 20 in this great economy.
Snowbirds have permanent resident elsewhere and fly to FL to avoid the snow. FL residents who leave FL during hot summer months are just on vacation…. I call them sunfish đŸ˜€
