OK, I know this has been discussed many times, but I would like to take a different slant on the subject based on what is in the back of my brain.
I know the cons, managing 2 homes for costs, worry, etc, but then again so are kids and I can't imagine my life without them. So I feel you get what you put into it.
We do plan to travel around, but with the idea to find the perfect getaway from the cold Canadian winters in a couple of years. I've been looking into everywhere from Argentina to southern US states.
Renting then leaving with no strings does sound appealing. But rentals can be problematic (from bad beds, to noisy renters, etc). And in the time you are there, are you really only a transient and can you ever live more like a local?
So owning, setting the place up the way we like it and becoming part of the community sounds better to me. I know that's the expensive route and maybe I've got it wrong!?
