Looking for Advice
 

We are considering purchasing a pre-owned home in TV prior to retiring. Can anyone tell me if there would be a problem renting it out and if it's best for that on the Spanish Springs or Sumter side. Seems like the rental market there is strong. Can't wait to get there. Thanks.

We have a house in TV that we rent and have no problem at all filling October thru & including May. We even rented a few weeks in July which we never expected. We use the site: thevillages4rent.com to market our house and cannot rave enough about the site. The fee is extremely reasonable, the site very well run, and widely known. We have no regrets and have found that the house is more than paying for itself until we can retire there (soon I hope!)

Another consideration is that, if you're "playing by the rules", I believe you have to pay a tax on your rental income. Here's an old thread on the topic - I believe it all still is valid today:
