As you know, we'll probably both make more money buying multi units in Central Maine vs. vacation rentals any day, so even buying a few VRBO's here and there for fun and to  have a place to crash doesn't really make alot of financial sense.

Then the fun part begins.....banging the phones. 

Well if you sell the only way it makes sense is with a 1031 or you'd drop all your hard earned gain for a better return and that's a break even game - no fun for anyone.Cash out refi - watch out in an environment of rising rates.

This is so fun!

I also found an article noting some of the newer activities to enjoy near the area, such as a new casino, breweries, hiking and camping, and more with only about a 2 hour drive from NYC. 

and they had great love for cats so it was all kinds of great smell of piss poop and whatever other fun stuff that you can imagine!
