If you have an existing hot water tank, its never cost effective to go tankless especially if you are only 2 people living here in the Villages. The initial cost to run a gas line and exhaust to the new tankless can cost 3-4 times the amount of just getting a tank replacement. And there is no benefit going tankless. Currently electric tankless units are not very good and if you do want to make that change, you will need new electric at a higher amperage to run tankless electric.
