In 3 years, my children will be sufficiently independent to allow my hubby & I to "hit the road". By then we will own our current home, but it will be too big for us when we are ready to put down roots again, so we plan to sell it (current value approx $600K). We would like to invest in a (?) couple smaller properties & possibly keep a unit as a base to return to & leave some possessions in.
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions as to how to do this with the best financial outcome? We plan to work part-time but don't want to be putting alot of $$ into keeping the investments going.
Should we pay 100% on our "future" home & the split the rest amongst the other properties? or is there a better way to manage the money we will have?
Should we rent out the "future home"? but then we'll have to pay for storage.
thanks in advance
