The things we are considering; My son needs to live in his home for 4 months before renting it out [Nationwide insurance requirement] so he is planning on meeting his neighbors during that time, having coffee, lemonade, and cookies on the front porch and welcoming all to help themselves a couple hours a day, joining neighborhood watch, and he and my grandsons are already planning to ask a few of the elderly homeowners if it would be alright to paint or fix their fences or whatever [small stuff] Would these be good things?  

For example, Strawberry Farms just south of Westerville is in Westerville school district but has Columbus taxes. 

Next town over from Irvine and remember how most of the area was strawberry fields and to see it blossom from 1982 to 1997.

The accounting for a STR shouldn't be much more complicated than the accounting for a lemonade stand or a garage sale.

The art of this type of investment class is taking lemons and making lemonade but I admit you can't do that with rotten lemons.  

Every 6 months or so I do the 10 day Master Cleanse (commonly called the "lemonade diet").  

You may consider selling the house with owner financing with your lemonade the tenant headaches in the liability and you maintain ownership while collecting a consistent cash flow.  

He never even ran a lemonade stand.Dick, excellent post.

@Ryan Smith - Welcome to the interactive BP community, you are at the right place.I am sorry to hear of your 9-5 job separation, but, you have basically turned a lemon into lemonade via your REI pursuits.I like the fact that you have dual plans to achieve, support and sustain your lifestyle so that there is no need to revert to a 9-5 job environment.
