Thanks for all of your thoughtful replies
For further clarity...
There is a 98% chance I will continue to work (earn the requisite income) throughout the great majority of this year.
Our "main house" is sold.* We are now renting for a reasonable amount.
We have a condo in North Carolina that is rented for at least 8 more months generating a "break even" income.* We just now placed it on the market.* The real estate market in the Mountains has remained positive, unlike Florida (although it has slowed some from a year ago.)* Based on what we are asking, what we need, and the market, it should sell within 90 days.
The "sales pressure" is all ours - not the TV sales department, although they have their subtle ways.
