DH wants to retire to his home state of Mass- i'm okay with that. He plans on retiring in June 2011. He just returned today from a visit and is really wanting to make it happen. He moved to Ark with me 30 years ago, so fair is fair....plus, i do like New England a lot ....it would work.
Do any of you have any advice? He wants to retire in the area he grew up in, but has not lived there in 30 years. We have visited there, but don't have any connections. His dad is there, but is 88 years old and is not in a position to help us find a place.
My guess is find a reputable local real estate agent, have a long conversation with him/her about what we want and see what happens? We cannot afford to fly up there too many times to look at properties.
If you have advice, please share. We are anxious to learn from what others have done in similar situations....finding a retirement home when you live far away with a smallish budget.
Thanks,
ohyes
