We settled on our property in The Villages 2/14. We didn't feel pressured to use the local bank by our sales person. In fact, she willingly worked with our lender. However, she was our second sales person. The first one we worked with during our 10/13 preview was not responsive to our emails and did tell us it would be almost impossible to work with an outside lender because of the 30 day time line. We found our second sales person as a result of going to many open houses and picking the one we felt we could best work with.

In January 2014 the rate was 1.25% less than the local bank.

Shop around.
