Default renting in January
you should be able to rent January only, much easier than just renting Feb. or March. I'm speaking as a landlord in TV of 4 years. But you might not find one with a golfcart or located near Lake Sumter Landing or Spanish Springs - most of those (close-in locations and with golfcarts) can easily rent for the entire season (Jan, Feb. & March) to one tenant, which most landlords would prefer.

If you find one without a golf cart (and the price should reflect that), get your golfcart reservation in right away with one of the sources on this site - they are usually all booked up if you wait too long. Jim Followell is a good source for gas 2 seaters, and quite reasonable.

I think it's a great idea to tie a month's rental in with a Lifestyle Preview Visit - and I would try to rent the type unit you think you might want to buy.
