I can tell you if I could have found a really nice rental that included everything except utilities for $1500/month in The Villages on a long term basis I would have been all over that. I was hell bent on never "buying" my home again because of the volatility we saw over the past years, but when I saw how expensive rentals are in The Villages and how easy it is to sell a property here I had a change of heart. Not sure what the demand would be and the expenses to keep a house running in TV are quite high. Lawn, pest, cable, internet, power washing, yard maintenance, amenity fees, bonds, etc. The good news is electric and water are pretty reasonable.
