Sounds like we need to get together at Matt's Rancho Martinez and make this a fun REI thing with nacho cheese!

We then moved out and split our year between a family owned 3-season lake front cottage and spent winters at my parents house (rent free) to capitalize on the added rental income.

In the next town my local knowledge got me a cute 3/1 cottage for $99K that is now worth $319K 3 years later.

I read in the Oregon legislature, “Cottage Clusters.

I have thought about your responses and will introduce myself in person as the proud owner of this little cottage.

We only rent a small cottage on the property where our summer home is and we only rent it for 3-4 nights a week during the 14 prime summer weeks.

So the properties we've been looking at are near great summer and winter vacation spots and all have Homes with either cottages or apartments that could be AirBnB to generate income right away.

One is the duplex I'm discussing, one is two little cottages on one lot, and one is an expensive huge house with a little apartment attached.

far better investments out there with much less stress and risk. you get that sweet spot like your talking about and again its a nice cottage or private owner operated business.. 

It’s not that I want to invest elsewhere to make $, I want to explore ways to create affordable housing here by getting creative; ADU condoization, tiny homes, cottage clusters, STR partnerships etc.
