[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A little different, but we bought a large lot with two homes on it. We rent them out and they pay for themselves. We've never thought that they were that much extra work, and in less than 4 years they'll be paid for. We've only had them for around 7 years. It's a great investment, IMO. One of our sons and his wife rent one of them, so between the three homes that we have, there will always be that source of income for our kids should they decide to rent them out when we're gone, or they could? live in them.

I don't think we want to deal with renters.  This property would be strictly for our enjoyment.  Honestly one of the things that is appealing about buying the property is that we will be able to bring our dogs with us while we are enjoying it.  Now we usually have to get a pet sitter when we want to go out of town for a weekend and that can really make a weekend away $$$$.

The cottage is small so I'm not seeing us staying in it for weeks at time.  It would be more for weekends and even some occasional week nights depending on the time of year.
