We are going to rent it over the summer and early fall as we won't be moving down for the winter until December 2013- April 2014.

My wife retires in November, so we want to have the home bought now and not in December, so we can move right inwhen we arrive in December.

With buying a furnished home, it would mean we don't need to be here for closing and I beleive the Villages Rentals people will make sure everything is ready to go for rentals, after closing.
Just one more question. Should we elect to buy a pre-owned furnished property, how quickly is it possible to close on a cash purchase? Could it happen in 2 weeks or less? We have had a three week closing in the past.
I realise not all closings are the same, but as it is being handled through Villages sales, on a Villages property, I assume all of the history is well known.
