For us it was an easy transition. The house sold quickly, sold most everything, stored a little more. No regrets!
The only thing that started to change for us was the fact that we were wintering in the same area in SW Florida each winter. During the winter we found that we don't really travel, but rather stay put in warm temperatures. We began to wonder if we should maybe purchase something in SW Florida for winter use instead of towing the fiver down here every winter.
That lead to looking at manufactured homes in parks, thinking we could spend very little and not worry about upkeep.
The results of that search convinced us that purchasing a stick and brick in SW Florida was just slightly more than getting a double-wide or manufactured home.
That decision lead us to calling a Realtor and looking at about 20 homes in the area. Put an offer in on one yesterday!
For the last two years as full timers we have loved every minute of it and never in our wildest dreams thought we would change that lifestyle in the near future. But now we will only be full timers from June through November, the rest of the time we will be lounging by the backyard pool!
