Timing?

DH will retire 2nd week in Jan. 2019 & we plan to fulltime as soon as we can after his last day of work. Question in what order do we do everything? Selling the house, do we put it up before he retires so hopefully it would be sold by retirement or shortly after. We live in Indiana so if we put it up and sells before Jan. we will be living in 5th wheel in winter. Another concern is he will start getting his social security the month of Jan. 2019 also. If we haven't got a new domicile by then , then we will have to change address not long after he gets everything set up for SS. We have been planning on this fulltime dream for such a long time and the closer it gets our minds just cant sort out everything! Any suggestions and advice from anyone that has gone thru this would be very much appreciated. Tara
  • I changed mine ( SS) Right after also. No checks sent, auto deposit the payment and have everything possible sent to email not mailed. set all that up asap. address forwarding can catch almost anything else. Nowdays almost everything can be auto handled (deposits and credit Payments)with instant text or email notifications in real time allowing you to follow up. your mailing address should be almost secondary.
  • List a little early and set a contingency closing date to fit your schedule.
  • Social security address is not a problem - SS deposits all payment into your bank account they do not send checks - I moved right after I got my first payment
