Agree 100% about driving defensively.
But it's not the rule to turn out of the outside lane.

I am not quite sure that you are entirely correct.

When we first rented, we were made to pick up our ID at the sumter sales center and had to sit thru a sales pitch with a realtor for around an hour.

He then called us 3 times during our stay at the renters home to attempt to get us to buy a new home.

PS not everyone transfers there resident ID's..they allow you a guest for free....gives you nothing....

The Villages Hometown Property Management handles rentals for houses and villas which are owned by private owners. Homes for rent in The Villages Florida | Home Property Management

This is NOT the same as the villas for Lifestyle visits, which are owned by The Villages.

Look at Down Home property management much better than the villages property management. Last year the Villages were rented out for the season and they rented every property they could get their hands on.

I wonder what percentage of the rental price they take

20%... it is insane. Renting out a house in the Villages is rediculously easy... why anyone gives away 20% is beyond me. And if you want to stay in your own house or have relatives do it you have to PAY THEM.

I bet we spend about 2 hours a month renting out our house, and it is rented 9 months every year.

When we rented from a private individual last summer we still had to pick up our ID cards at the Sumter landing office.

Be nice to our snowbirds as they throw a lot of money into TV economy!

I try to make it a point to have patience when driving as the roads are somewhat crowded and RAB are an adventure!

Try to eat in more during these three months as one must have dinner by 4:30 PM to beat the crowd!

It's nice to hear TV is still booming!

I have decided that I like Snowbirds who own here. I have mixed feelings about Snowbirds who rent here.

BECAUSE...owners have a vested interest in our town.

So do you like reverse snowbirds who own, but rent?

I like just about everybody Frau. I just get annoyed at the bottles and crap thrown out of carts and other stuff that makes me think this beautiful place is not cherished by ........SOMEONE....in Jan. Feb. and March.

If the renters/snowbirds stopped coming, then start worrying about your investment inTV.

Yesterday I was attempting to enter the roundabout at Morse and ElCamino Real when a noticed I noticed a large pickup circling vey slowly in the center of the lanes. When I say slowly, I mean like driving 5 mph. The passenger was using her iPhone to video the surrounds. I guess it was good that the passenger was doing the video and not the driver.

We have a winner in "Roundabout Bingo"! The first snowbird roundabout experience posted here - and a good one, too.
