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.
Sorry, I should have been more clear in my post. We purchased a used home, turn-key so it is furnished. If we were not teachers with signed contracts, we would be there now
