Does anyone actually live in WH?

[abolanwoski]

Are all the houses in WH rentals for vacation or are there people who actually live there full-time and work/go to school, etc? We are thinking of buying there as a vacation property/ rental home and our financial advisor thinks this would only be advisable if we would retire there as well eventually. It's an appealing idea, but I just wondered what % of people who are there are actually owner/occupants.

For those of you who own and rent out, fo you feel like it's a good investment?

There's about 5-6 homes that people there live in full time. Love the investment, not sure I'd want to retire there full time though since it's much more short term rental oriented, it's all families going to Disney basically.

You would have a very transient neighborhood and without a lot of stability. That sounds pretty icky to me especially if I wanted to be retired.
