Take day trips there and make a list of places you think you might be willing to live.

No trips. 

If you go to a 2 or 3 day masterclass or conference that will most likely be JAM PACKED with information overload, I highly recommend giving yourself the next day off or adding one more day on your trip.

As an owner of rental property and an owner of a tow behind camper this thought has crossed my mind several times. ...but when I think about how much work it is to prepare myself for a camping trip, and how much has gone wrong with my multiple campers in the past it doesn't feel worth my time for a couple hundred dollars. 

The intruder never knows they tripped an alarm.When all is said and done and you have a new tenant, but the system back in its tote, turn of the monitoring and forget about it until you need it again.

If you're handy, the quantity of separate trips and vendors/ licensees and their corresponding bills  to take care of every little thing will drive you nuts. 

After visiting several properties on a recent trip, we've narrowed it down to a 2/2.5 townhouse at Regal Oaks (with large lanai and hot tub) or a 2/2 Condo at Storey Lake. 

The only thing that's tripping me up is the "1yr hold period".

Maybe I’ll take a weekend trip down there to see the area for myself.

I'm from Seattle and my first trip out the Cleveland I did nothing but drive around for a week straight looking at neighborhoods.
