The Sales Office can give you a monthly cost figure for a home in The Villages, Bear in mind if you are renting there will be many more costs like empty nest, gardening and looking after guests - maintenance would have to be bought in as you are not here to do it yourself

We own a 2 bed ranch which we let out Jan/April and stay ourselves 4 months outside of these times. The rental income barely covers costs and would not contribute to a mortgage or give a return on your 100+K capital

However we love our time in The Villages which we consider a great (if not profitable) investment
