(Horsebnb.com)Looking for additional income sources AND the fun people I think this would attract. 

Have fun with it.

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electricity due to the reduced natural light and more people indoors.

Let’s just say as we head to Mexico for two months this winter, he has no regrets of finally doing it… lol Our current situation (studio in back yard) is the most lucrative I’ve ever done and the property has appreciated nicely in the five years we have owned it.

I bought it because I thought it would be a fun way to exercise.

Then: I want the lowest interest rate possible.Now: I want the easiest bank to work with.I think my investing career has gotten easier and more fun since I've changed my mind on the above 3 items.

For 20 years we have dealt with space heaters (of various types) for heating the room in the cold OH winters, or just ceiling fans for cooling in the summer.

I think many of us use hyper-consumerism as a means of validating our self-worth.We NEED to upgrade to a new cell phone every year, we NEED to take expensive vacations to show our friends how fun our lives are, we NEED to purchase the more expensive car, we NEED to eat at chic restaurants and document the experience all over our social media.

Agreed - we may be looking back at this winter as a huge opportunity to scoop up before the market starts raging back up again

That's a fun conversation to have with a seller at the settlement table.
