Have to wonder if there's any or many lakes region, year round residents who have the financial ability to own a residence, but instead they make the choice to be renters?
Renting a vacation house for nine months/year: no property taxes, no maintenance repairs like painting, possibility of a low rent because that's all the rental market will allow to the property owner?
And, for June-July-August, one can always go camping and stay at one of the 23 different campgrounds in the White Mountain National Forest for $16 to $20/night, and go mountain hiking all summer long, and upgrade yourself from a tent to a used rv camper vehicle with the money you saved by not paying any property taxes or maintaining a house!
