My team and I really like the community of Storey Lake.

My parents have a cabin in the finger lakes not that far from Buffalo, and I’ve actually been reading good things about Buffalo. 

My family and I are considering investing in a vacation rental near the lake in Branson.

After diving into LTR in SFHs for the last few years, we are interested in purchasing a home (preferably lakefront or lakeview) with dock access on Table Rock Lake. 

I've been quoted by a few however some declined coverage for being a log cabin semi close to the lake and a 2nd home or did not cover loss-of-rent.anything works!

We grew up on the River and then Leonard Lake - I understand and agree about the winter - I live in Victoria BC right now, but have debated owning a lake front property in Muskoka - trouble is, with the changing Short Term rental situation, could be difficult to take on - I would love to go there in the summer for example. 

We just have streaming services at our lake house.

A lot of lake home options that can make for an easy Vacation home 10% down and then transition into a rental.

Five years later you're sued by your grantee's grantee alleging there an easement for a gas line predating your ownership thereby breaching your warranties. 

I would suggest you focus on areas like Polk county, Lake county, Marion and Sumter county.
