Well I think most has been said.

The path to take could be very similar to mine if you feel that you can swing both homes until you sell in INDY. That would be:

  • Make sure TV is the place you want to be by visiting a few times and staying as long as you can. Try renting various type homes (villa, designer etc.). We even rented homes backing to a street, homes backing to another lanai, villa on a golf course, villa/home with own pool.
  • If TV is your choice then talk with Citizens (or any bank) and see what your current income will do for a new mortgage in TV.
  • Buy/build your TV home.
  • Pay both mortgages until you...
  • Sell your northern home.
  • Get an RN job in TV or nearby (shouldn't be a problem for an exp nurse).
  • Move to TV.
That's my plan and I'm on the sell your home in MA part

Best of luck - If you'd like to discuss further just PM me.
