So you'll have to buy an entire house worth of furniture for your new home, before you even offer it for rent. July is just one week away.

I would recommend you contract with The Villages Hometown Property Management to handle oversight on your property until you're ready to move in. They're more expensive than others, but they are affiliated with the Developer and will do everything possible to ensure that your property complies with the rules, is rented by vetted tenants, cared for meticulously, and is in tip-top shape when you come down to take occupancy.
To clarify, they are not affilliated with the developer. They are a private company that manages rentals just like every other company. They manage properties in The Villages, but "Villages" is not in their official name. That is what they told me.
