Can people recommend Property Mgmt companies? We want to rent our Designer for 1 year as an unfurnished rental. The Villages won't rent it as it has a Murphy bed in it.

[RUOK2?]

We've done rentals here for years. You might find little demand for a 'short-term', unfurnished home. The cost of moving in and then out might be prohibitive.

Going back to the orignal question, anybody have any recommendations for a good property management firm for a home?...short terms rentals, takes care of everything, ...marketing, communicating with renters, collecting rent, prepping property for next renter, taking care of needed maintence and renter calls, etc. Thanks!

I agree. Who would want to furnish a designer house, set up utilities, cable TV, lawn service, etc. and then need to move out in 12 months? It would be much more attractive to furnish the house and arrange to pay for these items as part of the rental agreement.

Think you need to furnish the place.

Why are they against murphy beds?

If you want to use The Villages, why not just move a bed into the room where the Murphy bed is located?

I don't know about unfurnished rentals, but they are very picky about the furnished ones. I had an agent tell me that they won't rent a house if the dining table only has 4 chairs. You need to have 6 chairs. Go figure.

One year is a long term rental. If you advertise long term unfurnished at a competitive price you will have people knocking the door down to get in. As far as Property management you don’t necessarily need that with long term because you will have a resident in there and you can just call a service company if anything breaks down and the tenant can let them in

Since 2010 Our 2 long term unfurnished rentals, had no less than 20 to 30 people wanting to rent. 2022 was no exception. Rent was for 1 year at a time, with options to renew at our discretion. We used the Vil4 rent.

Moving within the villages is inexpensive compared to outside the bubble. Some wanted to live here and decide we’re they wanted to live, some wanted to be here so they could watch new build. One stayed at the same house for over 9 years.
