-best way to rent the home out for a few months
.what do you put the thermostat on when you are not there for a couple of months in summer/winter
-homeowner's insurance
-what cycle to put the sprinklers on
-If I buy a small car and leave it there, as a Missouri resident I assume I license it in Missouri.
-eventually where to buy a golf cart


Thanks all. We've already met lots of people including our neighbors and everyone has been genuinely wonderful.
Lawn and Pest Control = Fertigator
Temp.....82/60
Insurance = The Villages
Cycles = Doing twice per week 30mins grass, 15 landscape (changes during the year)
Missouri plate
Two popular places for carts: The Villages. Clubs & Carts in Ocala.
House watch service is a good idea. Not "required by insurance". The best house watch East of the Mississippi River is The Village Sitter...........267.481.0588.

Now watch for repeat recommendations.
Good Luck.
