We also had two homes for five years or so and you can do it obviously, many do.
We did find life got easier when we made a full-time move down here and just had one home. Good luck in your venture.

there were a few things that we could do to reduce the costs when away for half the season, mainly what a previous post on this threat indicated...

when we had two homes, our focus was maintaining both assets regardless of which location we were in

that made for an easy reentry no matter which one we were traveling to...and reduced the worry that something would go wrong when we were 1400 miles away

life became a lot simpler once we settled on one location
