NEED ADVICE

[gunny]

Hello all,
S and I own a cabin up in Pennsy, located way up in the mountains, have owned it since 2002. When we first bought, the area was quiet, off the beaten path, in a part of the state known for its pristine beauty and sparse population.

Beginning in 2006, the area started to change rapidly. It it now like a wild west gold mining town, shale gas exploration and drilling is all the rage, and our property has really gone up in value.
As part of our splitting of assets, sp and I had originally talked about selling the place and splitting proceeds evenly. However, a realtor in the area tells us that because there is such a severe housing shortage for gas field workers, we could rent the place out for a decent sum. The place is long since paid off, so any income would be gravy.

Surprisingly, sp is very open to holding on to the place and possibly renting it out for income. This is surprising to me, it appears she is not trying to completely sever all relationships with me.

Just wondering, have any of you had the sitch where you s/d but still stayed involved in financial arrangement with sp? Any and all thoughts, ideas would be appreciated, thanks all
