We did. At least temporarily. Long story but the sale of our house was
"iffy" for a long time because the buyer was going through some unusual
financing for a mortgage. He was basically using the revenues of his
sub-S corporation as part of the qualification and had to wait until an
audit was complete before his bank would commit to the loan. Anyway, we
hadn't made any decision as to where we were heading when all of a
sudden, 2 weeks before the scheduled closing, his bank approved his loan
and we had to get out fast. Bought a place temporarily until the dust
settles. Or snow settles. Anyway, we are still "talking" about what is
next.

I'd do a half and half. 6 months up here and 6 months in warmer climes. Would probably rent an apartment here so I wouldn't have to worry when away for an extended period.

I thought you had the Carolina's in your sights. Good choice if you can
go wherever you want to go.
