At the site visit, I checked out the bluff and noticed a huge tree that looked like it had recently fallen into the lake.

However in SC you can hole up towards Big Basin and live among the majestic redwood trees and be quite rural without minus 20 degree weather.we also have to keep in mind with such small populations in some of these states  500 people move in and its a massive % gain.kind of like Bend/Redmond Oregon area.. lots of folks moving in number one % wise in the US  but that's because the base population is so low to start with.. 

This is an interesting one, and I think I see what you're getting at - the relationship and trust you have with a specific lender is likely more influential than small differences in rates between various lenders.Your replies have really helped me to reflect on why we haven't gotten started yet, and I think it boils down to fear and not being able to see the forest for the trees.

Could be a shovel, fruit on your tree, clothes left out to dry, etc. 

Oh, the orange tree was sweet (pun intended) too.

I love the shade trees even though falling branches can be a pain.

Usually a Park like this will have lots of deferred tree trimming, road issues, water leaks, and a need to pump all the septic tanks.I'm not really sure which state this Jacksonville is in, but make sure that your state laws are landlord friendly.  

I know this because it's a vacant house next to my mother-in-law's and I have jumped the fence since I "accidentally" dropped my tree cutting tells over the fence while trimming my MIL's trees.

We are considering removing trees, installing well and septic, and placing manufactured or mobiles homes on these for rent as well.
