I'm interested in what kind of home is maintained by a 3/4 timer. It seems to me that unless it is a rental, the upkeep will eventually be an issue. My parents used to own a home in the Keys and one in the midwest and spend 6 months in each. They spent the first month or so at each place doing repairs, maintenance, yard work, etc. They got tired of that aspect of it.
To me the ideal 3/4 situation would be some sort of secure place like an RV park, with a casita and covered RV spot, and a good sized shed. Or a rented pad on a farm, set up the same way. That would be very nice indeed.
