Full time employment: Posting here.
We moved to SW Florida about 6 years ago. We are now moving North.
Same town, but it is a couple of miles north of our current house.

We close on the new to us house the first of April, and we close on our current home a couple of weeks later. So we will at least be able to move most of our stuff into the new home.
The wife does plan to have the bathrooms, and kitchen remodeled. Some walls are going to be removed, all new cabinets, appliances, and fixtures. All flooring replaced with tile. Paint inside and out. Maybe have pavers around the pool area and down to the dock. The dock will be removed and a new dock placed the length of the propert, and of coarse a new boat lift.
New landscaping, not sure what will be done with the brick, maybe paint, maybe removed.
The water heater and HVAC is new, so we are keeping that.
The season is pretty much over in April so we will be able to rent a vrbo for a reduced rate. Most are just happy to have someone there. Some snowbird friends have said we could stay at their place, but I think I’d just as soon rent and keep things friendly.
So wish me luck, hopefully I won’t be divorced and have to sell the house before the remodeling is done. I don’t think I’ll be saving anything from buying a house that was already updated, but this way the wife can get what she wants.
And I’m buying a boat, but I’ve been told I have to wait till our house closes.
