This weekend DW and I spent a great long weekend in western Maine We started bouncing around the retirement possibility of buying a mountain house or condo we could live in from May through November and then renting it for the winter while we live south in our fifth wheel. Probably won't happen in New England but a possibility for somewhere out west.
Has anyone contemplated this or actually done it? It seems like a reasonable way to subsidize snowbirding and let us live in the mountains which we love in the seasons we love. Hopefully get back in time for a couple weeks of late spring skiing too.
I'm concerned over how small some resort areas are in regards to future medical needs. It also seems like some areas without real towns nearby could be pretty slow in the summer. Finding the right one would be important.
