Also, the yard and landscaping is included. They want us to sign a new lease soon, H was thinking of asking them to throw in snow removal. The plan is to purchase a large RV when H retires. Neither of us likes hotels, and neither of us flies, but we want to see the country so that's our best option. Plus we can bring animals with us. Win Win.

I would love to go back to renting. Home ownership is expensive and stressful at times. I fully expect once the kids get out of the house, we'll at least downsize. I love the idea of a townhome situation where there is on-site maintenance as part of your property purchase, no yard to mess with, perhaps some amenities like a pool. Might be the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, most of those kinds of properties are two-story which is not an option for us with my husband's physical handicap. Limits us a bit. Your lakeside property sounds wonderful.
