MONEY, MONEY, MONEY...this seems like the perfect set up to me. Live in the main one bedroom house (room to put in a second bedroom or working office space) and rent out the 2 suites attached to the main house..of course you could live in the separate Cottage and rent out the main house? Or you could bring in an RV and live in that and rent all 4 spaces out? Truly the perfect investment. Retirement is for the faint of heart and with inflation who can afford it? This gives you control my friend, this gives you options. Located in the Powell River Regional District where there is no zoning and taxes are low. Get it while you can. Main house with 2 separate suites and separate Cottage is the perfect "Retirement" package.
