My 90 year old mother doesn't want to move to TV full time. She loves TV but likes the four seasons, her friends, family and church more!

So, we had our home built in 2012 and put it in the long-tem, unfurnished rental program right after we closed. We have a one year lease. I pay the taxes, insurance, full service lawn care with Stellar, amenity fees, maintenance issues, etc. The renters pay for their cable, internet, electric and phone.

Most expenses incurred on our home our tax deductible: taxes, amenity fees, insurànce, lawn care, etc. Big ticket items are pro-rated over a number of years.

We rent our home through JD&V Property Management.

I would love to be in TV, but this works for us now.
