Paul Ward is here to help you figure out how to make your dream of living in the country come true by overcoming obstacles and building creative solutions!

He analyzes your hypothetical situation below. Please keep reading!

Why You Want To Live In The Country:

• The air quality is better.
• You love the magic of nature – the stars, the wild life, the crickets at night.
• You want to grow your own food.
• You want more animals of your own.
• You want to host friends and family in the country.

Some Obstacles You May Experience To Living In The Country:

• Spouse is an urbanite or a suburbanite – a common situation.
• Distance to work – Is it practical?
• Starbucks addiction (Yes, this is a real thing.)
• Kids will be without friends.
• Grocery store at a distance – where is it anyway?

Solution: Rent A Property Temporarily!

In Ventura County there are always properties for rent. Though landlords want to rent to people who plan to stay, you can approach the landlord with a proposal. You can offer them more money per month for 6 months. If the rent is $3,000, you offer $3, 200.

Rather than paying for a year’s lease, you may offer them all the money for 6 months up front or increase the security deposit so that they can use it to allay expenses after you leave.

After living in your country house for 3 months or so, your spouse may be able to wrap their mind around a longer or permanent stay.

Paul has great tips for overcoming obstacles to living your dream – Many properties in Ventura County are 3-5 minutes from town!
