Here's our story which is similar to yours. We visited TV almost three years ago and looked at homes and fell in love with one but did not buy. When we returned last September that same home was no longer affordable for us.
We bought a home last September because the prices have gone up so much. We are not retired yet and handling two homes and still live up north. We decided not to rent it out for one year and absorb the cost. We figure we will break even if we waited and bought this September with prices rising so quickly.
There are plenty of people who do rent out their homes and perhaps some of them will share there stories.
The huge difference between our story and yours is we were able to sleep at night. Maybe you should start checking around to find out the value of your current home before you make a commitment . Its a huge decision and its one you should feel comfortable in making. Always listen to what your gut feeling is telling you and you won't go wrong.
