Full time employment: Posting here.
At least that is the plan today. We initially were planning on buying a condo in the Ft. Myers, Punta Gorda, or Port Charlotte area. We were going to downsize our home here also. Well I stuck a for sale by owner sign in the yard and a few days later I had a buyer. The appraiser was here yesterday and things seem to be moving along well.
But since this winter doesn't want to end we are planning now to just buy a house down there and move. We can then figure out if we want something here also. I'm thinking not.
We have given most of our furniture to our kids, friends, and family. We are putting the rest and one car into storage. My wife is going to drive her car down and I'll fly the plane. When we nail down a closing date I'm going to hit VRBO and set something up for a few months. It doesn't look like I'll have any problem with availability in May thru September.
That will give us time to really look around and hopefully find what we want, whatever that is. But while this is going on, it could take several months, we may even change our mind living down there during hurricane season. What do people do about license plates, and other things that may expire. I guess I can get a PO Box, but is that ok for everything?
And should I buy a boat before or after we find a house?
