You can purchase a property that does not require a lot of your time to manage, have 100% control of your money, have 100% control over every decision made and 100% of the profits belong to you, or...you can give 100% control of your money to someone else, have that person have 100% control of your money, have that person have 100% control over making decisions, pay that person a handsome fee to have 100% control over everything and you will get only a fraction of the profits.I say; never ever give someone control of your money.

The entire house is scattered with personal belongings, furniture, clothing, etc.

Our second property is likely to be longer term.

I don't expect this to be long term. 

not that any weekenders would be drinking :)same thing I guess with providing paddle boards and kayakes  or for that matter just walking on the Pier and the floating docks. 

If this is a home you are selling, it belongs in the marketplace as other poster has said.

I have concerns with having underage drinking at the rental properties.

I'd like to suggest grab a drink a good meal and talk it over with the husband and see what fits your lifestyle and goals the best.

Example:The house across the street from me belonged to an old lady who shared it with her drug addicted son.

It won't be long and they'll be moving themselves out.
