Beachy, he absolutely loves it, NC doesn’t tax his retirement check (a big decision-maker), unlike MD, plus the property taxes were much less (mostly since the house is valued lower than it was in PG County). In MD he had a 1/3 acre lot, four bedroom Colonial with a two-car carport (not a garage) that he sold for 425k, and bought a 2-acre lot 3-bedroom with four (yes, 4) garages (two attached, two detached) for his and hers motorcycles. He paid something in the 300s for it.
That’s similar to our plan but we’re going to stay on the small side with everything.
Where in NC did he go? I’m keeping track of places to look at.
