I hope it works out for you, Legzz.

Since I have been on my own for the past 10 years I'm to the point that I don't want the responsibility (expense) of keeping up a home. I tired it for years after DH passed away but it was just bleeding me dry.

I know many who will say I'm throwing my money away by leasing a home but I don't see it that way. With my fixed income and nothing to fall back on (except my rear end ) renting just makes sense for me.

The tax breaks you can get by owning a home are good. I remember that being my saving grace some tax years. But, I also like the fact that if the A/C konks out I don't have to worry (financially) about having it fixed.

Good luck!
