We live 10 hrs away, but want to manage it ourselves. How do we find a trusted Villager to help with the local things? Just nervous... We would live any and all advice...
I think from what I have seen living here Jan - April you should be able to rent it with no problem no matter where you buy. The rest of the year might be more sporadic. I think the more centrally located in TV the easier it would be to keep it rented.. I would also consider renting it weekly or bi-weekly when it's not the season. The more flexibility in your renting the more likely you are to keep it rented.
