Home ownership by default

I had a similar situation with a house in Denison. I kept it because my aunt still lived there and we went to visit her but when she died, I finally sold it. The taxes were cheap until the assessor found out that my parents had died and I was the owner plus I was not a Texas resident. Another big expense is trying to insure it with it not being full time occupied. It was costing me about $10K/yr to maintain because we flew back twice a year from WA, once to get it ready for winter, and again in the spring to ready it for summer. Rental car expense in DFW is out of sight.

There are times I wish I had kept it
