No this isn't a new thread about the finance aspects of rent or own
We currently own a home in Michigan. We have been leasing a snowbird residence in Florida. We are now staying 7 months of the year in the sunshine state and have started to consider moving here full time. Our intent is to continue to lease rather than buy. From a direct cost aspect - it will cost less than what we now spend but...
We do have some fear. We have always taken comfort in the owning of the house. The new place is much smaller so we would have to sell or give away a lot of our "stuff". We would be moving away from some of our support group and family. etc
Have any of you gone from owning to renting in ER? What should we consider? Looking for thoughts to help us come to a decision. Thanks.
