We bought our first home in 2008. We made an offer on a home we really liked in Sunset Pointe on the golf course with a pool, but didn't get it. So we bought another home in Poinciana instead. Well about 3 months after we closed on that home, the first home we wanted had fell through for some reason, so we bought it. Decided to use the other home as a rental for a while. That worked out really well. The one thing we didn't like about our Sunset Pointe home was no golf cart garage and no room to add one. A couple years later a home really close to us with a golf cart garage came on the market. It was a one minute walk away. Well being successful with the other rental, we bought this one so we now have a golf cart garage although a one minute walk away. So I put a wall between the main garage and the golf cart garage and now have two rentals plus our personal home.

We are in the process of selling our VA home and when we do and move there full time, we may buy a larger Premier home. Still undecided about that as we love our current location and home.

At some point we will sell the first home, probably the second if we upgrade to a larger home, but will probably keep the third home as a rental and as a smaller home to move into should the up keep become to hard and to expensive on the pool home. Or if or when one of us goes to the great beyond, the smaller home would be perfect. So far they have all worked out great, seem to be great investments, and will probably buy another at some time.
