Why would you not just rent for 3 months in the winter? We have friends here in Ohio who do just that. They sort of wish they had bought 10 or so years ago, but would have still been snowbirds (as we also are). Now, with prices so high (in Ohio too), they've decided to just rent every winter, and it seems to suit them just fine. We spend longer in TV than here in Ohio, and we were lucky to have bought a condo here in 2012, when prices took a dip for a couple of years.

Our friends are great grandparents - got their grandkids thru Covid school, and last year (and probably this year too) they will tutor one of them who needs it. Through Zoom, I think.
