I only saw the remarks about the stairs and the lack of ice.

Hopefully they are dependent on the income from the STR's and will continue to allow them.Lake Harmony is the cream of the crop, but it was a little too crowded for our tastes.Split Rock is great, but according to a local contact the new owners of the resort will soon be enforcing the 30 day minimum stay that's in the bylaws.

From those 40+ notices only one neighbor came to us to discuss our plans, and in the end they were pleased to hear that my brother and I would be staying in the neighborhood, after that ice breaker we went to our most immediate neighbors and gave them a hard copy of the submittal.

Both are useless in the winter when things are iced up and frozen over.

There is also a lot of building going on including an Ice Hockey facility which will also double as a concert venue, Surf park resort, Disney owned residential community, and on.

In addition, some parts of the country have snow, ice or cold weather which makes moving undesirable.

Conversely, if you have a multi-family where you are responsible for snow removal, ice control on steps, etc, there is much more potential liability exposure.

Hopefully I can get 2-3 properties at one time doing this.The duplex is just icing on the cake using the VA loan to start adding long term rental properties to my portfolio.

Gotcha, well you could always factor the MER lien into your Max Offer and if you don't have to pay it or are able to settle with them, its just icing on the cake.

I am 50 years old and have decided to get into rentals to supplement my income and possibly retire at 60 (any earlier would be icing on the cake).Is anybody else in a similar situation?
