    Default Cabin thread

    Ok - my dad had a cabin and property (near Cripple Creek) that we would visit (and maintain - paint, cut wood, grade the road, etc.) before he passed away... I still go up there to visit and do all the maintenance even tho it is now my step-mothers (great woman BTW).
    However - I would like to either...
    1. Make my maintenance routines easier
    2. Purchase the cabin and property cheaper than market with tax incentives for her.
    3. Figure out a way to make the cabin 'pay' for itself.
    How many of you also have cabins that require maintenence?
    Any ideas on making the cabin into a rental?
    Real estate options to eliminate fees and taxes?
    Who has experience or ideas on this?
