[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 586802"] MWM- are there any empty nest communities? I might check into those... I think they are often subsidized as well. I don't mean retirement homes- I'm thinking if the active adult over 50, independent living - usually condos or town homes. I always worry about mobile homes in our harsh climate. Between the blizzards and the spring storms/tornadoes ... I would check into heating costs and storm shelter availability. Our first home did not have a basement and after a few spring evenings holed up in a dry bathtub with a toddler - I swore I'd never be without a basement again. But I am a worrywart! You have 1-1/2 years. It's a great time to check out areas, think of what you want, dream a little, work on improving your credit history and start planning your empty nest. Explore all your options! A lot may depend on where Jumper lands too. Or if you decide to foster kids. Use the time to dream about your future - especially if you want this to be your last home. H and I have begin doing the same, our baby is 16, we have job potential in other states and we have often talked about moving when the kids are launched. We both find that adult communities appeal to us- we would hate to end up in a swing set neighborhood! And we love the idea of no more lawn care or snow removal, so we would want somewhere that would provide those services. We are still about 3-5 years away, so who knows? [/QUOTE]
