135 days
Beach house
155 days
Mountain cabin
75 days

Mary and Charles have owned a beach cottage on the New Jersey shore for several years and have always used it as a family retreat. When they acquired the property, they had no intentions of renting it. Because family circumstances have changed, they are considering using the cottage for only two weeks a year and renting it for the remainder of the year.

Interest and real estate taxes total $8,000 per year and are expected to continue at this level in the foreseeable future.
