I know V'07 and I think about that one, too. I just can't get past the hangup that if I have a second home, I don't want to rent it out. I am just weird about that. I want to be able to just show up whenever I feel like it. And besides, renters feel most like renting when owners feel like being there. But I will give it some more thought. I am tied to a project here for right now, too.

Also, the weather here in the Ohio Valley is completely spectacular. But just wait. When winter arrives, with its usual vengeance, I will no doubt wish that I had not been such a grasshopper. I am up here in Ohio, just rolling around in my green, green grass and looking up at my blue, blue sky. Ohhhhhhh, I am going to be so sorry. You will all mock me when you see the Boomermobile cruising through the neighborhoods and you see me get my pale, pale self out and go from door to door, dragging my golf clubs behind me, begging Villagers to take me in. I know. I know. But I just don't want to be a landlord there. I just want to hang out when I want to hang out. I just don't want to own to rent in TV. Boomer is a complicated woman sometimes. Probably Boomer just needs to be the renter there one more time and then figure it all out.

I think the decision to make TV your permanent home is so much easier than making the decision to buy a second home, especially one that you don't want to rent out.

And tkret,

Thanks for the last article, too. This mess is making me sick. Really. It's not good for any of us. It never should have happened. I could see it coming and I am but a bumpkin. Why couldn't our alleged leaders see it? I guess the lobbyists got in their way. I hate seeing so many decent Americans having their lives put on hold because of the unrestrained greed of a relative few.

The kind of property I might want to buy as a rental here in Ohio would not necessarily be a foreclosure but one that is on the market for a different reason. Like maybe somebody who has sense enough to move totally to TV or something. I do not want to be Boomer Trump or anything. I am thinking about just one. And I am not even thinking about a bottom price, but just a nice place at a price that I know is good. I would not make a good speculator. But investing is a little different in my dictionary.

I really need to get over this. Like I said, I cannot stay away from matters of real estate.

Hey, I hit send and saw that tkret thinks I should buy rental in TV, too. Wow. This is taking a whole new turn. More to think about it seems. This is a little like what I was working through in that "Quest for the Dress" thing a couple of weeks ago, but this one has a much bigger price tag. And I don't think the answer will come to me as quickly.

But thanks for the insight. It helps.

(I do not know why I just can't be a normal retired person. :dontknow: Of course, why would I start being normal now?)
