Message: [QUOTE="Drumguy, post: 4990452, member: 75"] I am a NH resident who spends just under 1/2 year in CT working from my office in Westport. We've owned the NH house since 2000. Btw, I claim all my income in CT so it's not a tax avoidence scheme - I'm a CPA. We don't rent either house out, so I can hop in a car and be at my other home in 4 hours without packing anything. I keep a small Jeep Wrangler 2 door at the house in NH, so we always have 2 cars available, and registered my wife's car and our Sprinter camper van in NH as well. I have one car registered in CT, so I don't have any issues with CT DMV and can get a beach sticker. If you want to get out of MA residency, do the things that make you a SC resident - change your driver's license, voters registration and register a car in SC. We have multiple Nest cameras on the exterior of the houses and we use Nest thermostats so we can monitor the heat/cooling remotely, especially since we go back and forth every other week or so. SInce both houses are in winter/snow areas, we added a generator in each house so we don't have to worry about power outages - you may not need that. We keep a full set of clothes, toiletries etc in each house since we can drive back and forth, we do that often. If you close up a house for a long while you can get by with less stuff. It's great if you can find a maintenance person to check the house out and snowplow when needed. Have an electrician and plumber and HVAC person on speed dial for both places. Just saw you added the lake community. Having a boat and water sports as a lot to the complexity, we have a jet ski and motor boat as well as s sups and kayaks. Everything requires maintenance and licences etc. first world problem! Happy to continue this offline or on a call. It's a challenge but not insurmountable. [/QUOTE]
