We have talked about relocating to Arizona, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico – the options are open. Some areas within those states meet our requirements and others do not. There is much to research.<\/p>\n
It is desirable to make the move sooner than later, but there is the matter of getting a fairly large Southern California home full of aged furnishings (and our junk, of course) with some items in mild disrepair, in shape to put on the market. It’s a daunting project, but we can work on it more-or-less full time. <\/p>\n
Fortunately, we are in an equity position in our home and most likely will be able to pay off the mortgage plus purchase outright or make a considerable down payment on a home in the new location. It will depend on how extravagant we want to be in choosing a new home. Keep in mind that we are not planning to take many furnishings and no appliances with us. It will be a zero-time baseline on most items like that, so we have to take that into consideration in choosing a home.<\/p>\n
Now – I have to figure out how to do all this California work while being a resident of another state. Not an easy prospect . . .<\/p>\n
