I actually bought my home 2 years before I retired down here. It worked out well for me. I had Reality Executives handle the rentals. I rented the house out about 4 months out of the year. That allowed me to come down here 2 weeks out of the year and make improvements. It also paid the bills for the 2 years while I rented it out. If I would have waited to buy, I'd be in the same situation a lot of people are in now. Not able to find a place and over paying for one if you can find one. As far as I know this is still America and still a free country.
