What would you do with it the other 7 months of the year? Left unoccupied it would probably be trashed or burned to the ground.

Doubt that Flashguy. Most of these places (retirement or age restricted parks) have snowbirds doing this yearly. Also, it doesn't mean you can't make a periodic trip to check on it as well during the off season.

I guess Florida is different from Arkansas--lots of unoccupied home fires there.

I think it must be different- I have a few acquaintances that do exactly this- leave it and return next fall.

I shoot skeet with a bunch of guys who do just this.
