We also were MI residents, rented out our house and wanted to retain our residency as long as we did own property. We used a mail forwarding service in FL and changed our "mailing" address on everything to that address. We then requested to have mail sent to us when we stopped somewhere for a week or so. We used our daughter's MI address as our residence address on everything including our taxes. Since we were reporting rental income for the house, we couldn't continue to use that. Isn't there someone in MI that you know that would let you use their address as your residence and then just sign up for mail service only with one of the companies that provide these services to full-timers? Fl, S Dakota and TX are the most popular. Just because you use the mail services does not make you a resident of that state. Keep your banking, drivers licenses, insurance etc in MI, just change the address to the MI address an acquaintance allows you to use.
