I have 2 modest rentals with steady renters it is comfortable with Social Security. (Never thought SS would be solvent when I retired).With modest rentals, the renters they generally are short of cash and undisciplined. My wife is good at graciously following up on the tenants and getting them back on track.My wife does not go out in the heat and stays in the A/C. Humidity and heat better then NJ near Philadelphia. I was a heavy equipment mechanic on the road, outside and poorly heated buildings if you can get through July and August the weather is moderate. I am a resident of Union county NC. If you behave like a adult the build inspectors are helpful and pleasant. My electric bill runs around about $120/month averages for H/W, electric stove, A/C and heat. Taxes for house about $1,600/year and house insurance about another $1,600.Financially moving back to Mass would be very difficult. NC is much more affordable.</blockquote>
