I have my notebook next to the area where I keep the paperwork, so it is easier to keep track of things. 

The outcome was a beautifully furnished home in a prime location with a low mortgage that generates consistent cash flow.

Beautiful 2 bedroom 2 full bath cabin at Gatlinburg Falls Resort in Gatlinburg, TN. 

That looks like a beautiful property/venue!

Quitting when you have won the game is a beautiful thing especially if someone is in the last decades of life.

After selling the property, my real estate investing journey went on hold for several years while my family grew to a wife and three beautiful daughters. 

If you go into Central or South Scottsdale (Old Town) $1M will buy you a smaller, older home, OR half of a big, remodeled home (as alot of the Arcadia and Old Town area are turning over old small homes to be big beautiful homes in the $2.5M range and higher).There are options.....for both buying and renting, that would work with your situation.By the way....it's 51 degrees in North Scottsdale right now where I live. 

Beautiful thing about RE is there is plenty of people out there and you can find the right fir for what you need as the seller

I have family in the Boston area and they vacation near Dover, a beautiful city. 

You might decide that you absolutely want to own your own residence there and I assume you can afford it since you already own properties elsewhere, likely in beautiful Hawaï.
