The only reason I kept my house and rented it out was because the market is so bad that I could not sell it. But I could not let that stop me from living and traveling in my RV full-time. So I rented my house out and the extra income is great.
The other thing is I was totally blind for about 5-years due to my U.S. Army Vietnam War service; went thru more than a dozen eye surgeries to regain my eyesight, and currently have implants in both eyes. The implants need periodic adjustment about every 7 to 10 years.
One day I will not be able to drive, as may be the case for most of us, and if I can not sell my current house then I will have that house to fall back on if for some reason I have to stop full-timing. Although I’d rather sell the house and full-time RV as long as I possibly can.
