Owning and renting our home in TV for the last ten years has worked out great. We bought when we were in our mid forties. We were too young to leave it empty until retirement. (part of the 20% under 55) We knew during our first trip this is the place where we wanted to retire.

As a landlord and homeowner I'm very respectful of my neighbors. I'm the only home that rents on our block. I've often heard I have the best lawn and you're not even here full time. I only rent during the high season. We like to visit when we can during the non peak times.

The best news is that this rental income will allow us to be debt free on this home when we retire and use part of the income to buy all new furniture replace the carpets and with any luck buy a new golf cart[emoji1]
