We're closing on August 1 but we won't be moving till 2015.
Just curious.
Thanks! We rented our property until a year ago. It was full every winter from January through March and some weeks in April and May. We had a week or two rented occasionally the rest of the year. It helped cover some costs, although we did not buy/rent for that reason. Our rental experience was very positive with a few minor issues that our property management people handled very well.

We came down three to four times a year for a week or two. It gave us the opportunity to get to know some neighbors, make friends and see what life will be like. We have terrific neighbors/friends waiting and cheering us on until we get there.
