Second/Vacation Homes

[old goat]

Apparently hurricane insurance only covers wind damage. I was reading that Florida's insurer of last resort is denying all but 15% of claims since most of them are for water damage from storm surge and flooding from rainfall.

I’d love to start spending Winter’s in Europe. I’d want small, simple, off grid type cabin/tiny house (composting toilet, woodstove heat, simple water system)like this…

Vendul, Does this exist around Sedrun? Other places? Visa limits me to 3 months, yes? So Jan/Feb/March.

I think one thing that holds US citizens back (me at least) is a perceived amount of complexity and red tape to own property in Europe. Maybe owning a small, simple place isn’t so bad? Maybe better to find a winter seasonal rental for the 3 winter months? Maybe better to buy a rig and vanlife Europe for a few years?

A nice daydream at least.

when I looked previously it seemed easier to buy a home as a foreigner w/o euro residency ability than to buy a car and register it legally w/o euro residency ability.


I was at the cabin that’s been in the family for a very long time this am and I hate it. It’s a decaying boat anchor with too much family drama and a shit location.
