1. Renting a small apartment in a low cost area?

That is what I am planning. Very little furniture of the type that can be taken out to the dumpster if I need to move.

Houses need maintenance and property taxes
RVs need maintenance and there are usually fees associated with parking them and using the services

I would be curious in what you find out. I grew up in rentals (apartments at first and eventually houses). I have owned four houses over the last 30+ years. I am sure that I am in my last owned house. My mom, who needs a live in now, has a 3 bedroom house just full of stuff. I don't plan to be that person.

Everyone looks at me as if I am crazy when I talk about selling the house after my pets are gone (they are 14 (dog), 13 (dog), and 12 (cat)). I would live with my mom and help take care of her if I lost my job. After she moves to an assisted care facility or passes on, then I would sell the house and move to an apartment.
