Full timing while having the cost of a home at the same time would leave us at the very end of our budget, something we don't want to do on our retirement income.

This statement doesn't indicate to me you are financially able to afford a home.. are you? Most folks in retirement age don't want to saddle themselves with a mortgage.

Thanks for your input. I said we would be at the end of our budget not our income. There is a difference there. Budget is the amount of income we are willing to spend each month vs Income, which is more than our budget ( we like to save). To answer your question, Yes we are financially able to afford a home. We are also financially able to fulltime RV, although to do both we might have to reduce the amount of income we save each month (not necessarily something we want to do.) At 55 yrs old I am much younger than your average retired person, I actually retired at 52 (yes things worked out well for me financially), therefore taking a mortgage out again is very possible. Let me also add that in 2015 we spent a total of 7 months RVing. Again thanks for your reply.
