That probably doesnt sound so weird .... if you are retired! I am in my early 40's,still working and would use it as a primary residence.
My plan is to RV & travel after I retire,I got to thinking, why dont I just buy a nice motorhome now and live in it instead of buying a traditional home? my sales job is based out of a home office, I am totally wireless and mobile (no need for land lines etc) I would need a P.O box but that is easily done.
Couple down falls are I have three vehicles and an ATC and collect and sell old car parts as a sideline, really enjoy older american cars and have no plans of dropping that hobby and/or side income, matter of fact I am planning on getting into it a little more so I would need storage area but could find and work a deal with someone that might have some extra storage in the area.
My accountant said it could be tax deductable if I live in it as a primary residence, although I do not believe the RV lot would be deductable.
So does this sound really stupid ( go easy here dont beat me up too bad, just trying to make early retirement a reality and it would be nice to have a motorhome paid for when I do retire) or might I be on too something? also keep in mind I am not thinking of buying a small little airstream trailer, I am considering a good sized diesel pusher.
Please chime in pros and cons, give your opinions and advice, has anyone else done this and actually lived in it as there primary residence prior to actually retiring?
Thank you,
