The scenery and outdoor activities fit our lifestyle perfectly.

I'm not sure what market you are in, but assuming it is a smaller one (i.e. not Des Moines) you have an opportunity to be a big fish in a small pond.My grandmother did that in a smaller Midwest town (began 70 years ago) and it worked out very well for her financially and in terms of lifestyle.  

I'm looking for everything from Real Estate, to business, to lifestyle, and anything else you'd like to share!

Seems like you can pull back and think about lifestyle, family, etc and then build a plan around that.

It's a lifestyle and personal values choice. 

When you become a landlord it become challenging when you start having to deal with humanity...especially when it's a different lifestyle than you are accustom to. 

Remember a personal home is a lifestyle choice not a investment unless you are definatly planning to move out at the end of a year.I would hope that the money to buy was a loan and not a actual partnership.

All of your investment activity should support your personal, financial and lifestyle goals.

If the Tenant Buyer walks away from the deal I get to keep his Option payment since it is non-refundable and I sell to another Tenant Buyer and get another Option Payment usually about $20k to $25k.I encourage people to get qualified for financing and to plan their lifestyle to be able to get a loan to exercise the Option.
