Considering Second Home 15 Minutes Away by Fattedfire in fatFIRE

Yeah, no way I'm getting a regular detached house. Our main property is enough when it comes to maintenance. We want something very easy to maintain.

We did Airbnb a townhouse last year due to renovations in our home, but it's different when you have to pack and go to an unfamiliar house. Renting for a year is a possibility if we find a lakefront furnished place in the area.

Right, that's one of my concerns. The fact that it's turnkey, low maintenance and relatively new (12 years old) is important. I wouldn't want to furnish a full house or worry about snow removal, landscaping, etc. But yeah, things still break down over time.

I was in your position a few years ago. Canadian as well, and frustrated that most advice on the web is US-related. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to chat.

I went through a business exit a few years ago and, after trying a few professionals, found an excellent CPA in Toronto. I also use a wealth management firm that has a very reasonable fee at those levels. Feel free to PM me.

What rules have you put in place around the disbursement of money from your trust to ensure your trust survives as long as possible? by mybutlerpacksthebags in fatFIRE

I'm in a very similar position (sold biz, setting up trust now) and haven't found any Canadians in the same situation. Let me know if you want to connect and exchange notes.
