Investment & rental considerations
Fees drive the yield, rules vary by village
The 55-plus demographic sustains steady rental demand, but each village sets its own leasing rules, minimum terms, and fee structures, so yield underwriting must start with the specific association package. Rental policies were not uniformly verified; confirm with the village association before underwriting.
