  46. My situation is I have a nice 1.6 acre property with a two story house, two car garage and a barn. I bought it in 2017 and it's worth nearly $150k more than I paid. I am retired and 67, single with just a grandson living with me here in Virginia. I thought about taking the money and just renting afterwards or mostly traveling. The problem is I have animals, gardens and enjoy this place. Buying a place that's better than most places I could move to makes it hard to sell. The house has an inlaw section that is big enough for me. I thought I could rent the rest of the house and have a base to come back to. My family is scattered between Hawaii, California, Virginia and Australia. Traveling is expensive and a pain. I don't care for California and Australia. Too expensive and too far. I spent most of my life in Hawaii, been there and done that. It's a crazy place from what I experienced growing up. I even thought about an Airbnb for the main part of the house or moving into an RV and just keep moving. If you buy a house that you love, you may not want to profit from it and sell it later. Even if you did, what can you buy next? I really hate paying someone else's mortgage by renting, which is why I have this house now. It only cost me about $200 a month more for the mortgage over the rent. I sort of like the idea of moving to a place for a month to see what it's like and then move on to another location, while retaining my home base and renting the main part out. I make enough monthly in retirement to live okay and it's mainly the cost of having a house, animals and loans for the maintenance, that eats up my income. I even thought of being a passport bro and living where I can make my money go much further, but I have good doctors and medical care here and that may not be the case elsewhere.
