I have been looking for a small house for retirement, which will be in at least 8 years, that I plan to rent out. The payments will be less than $600 per month and it's part of my plan to retire at 55 to have no, or a small, mortgage. Houses in the area rent for at least $1k. I saw this house the first day I started looking but when my agent called the listing agent we found that there was a pending offer already.
Last Wednesday I got an email notification that there was a new house that met my criteria and it's THE house! I called my agent and said to offer on it NOW!!! She submitted the offer but the owners were out of town for the holiday.
The day I started looking I posted on FB that I was sending up good thoughts that I find the perfect little cottage for me. When I saw this house I got goosebumps. It is just the cutest little house that I would love to retire in and there is a downstairs bedroom with hardwood floors that is perfect for a sewing room.
