However I don't see how anyone can make money by owing a rental. I have a second home here in the Villages that I can't sell so we rented it out at the good rate, but are loosing money mostly because of the amenities. I would recommend renting instead of buying here until the economy improves.
But, won't the home prices go up if the economy improves??
