Well I'll be, you're still there! I thought maybe you had given up on becoming a full timer, caught the Bat flu, or kicked the bucket. But I'm glad to hear none of those things happened.

Luckily the virus hasn't gotten to me yet and I hope it stays away, but it has hit several member of my extended family and given them problems. I'm trying to stay away from people as much as possible.

No one in my family has been affected by the Bat flu yet, and I pray it stays that way. I'm doing my part by staying as far out in the desert as possible.

Unfortunately, I found out a few days ago that both my aunt and uncle passed away from Covid recently. They were both over 90, so definitely in high risk groups.

Great to hear from you as always Tim. That's terrible about your aunt and uncle, I'm sure that brings the possibility of Covid a lot closer to you than to those of us that fortunately haven't had any problems with it in the family.

The only time I've ever rented property in my life is when I first got out of the Air Force and I rented an apartment for about a year to get on my feet. And when I moved the family to Colorado we rented an apartment on a monthly basis, for about four months until we found the house we wanted to buy. I'm a firm believer in owning the place you live. Like you say if you're renting it's a losing proposition, your just paying somebody else's mortgage for them.

I've rented a few places when I was in my 20's, but after that I usually owned a place, except for a few short stints when I was transitioning from one locale to another, plus recently when I downsized and sold my house.

I think my biggest problem with condos is the never ending and ever-increasing HOA fees that are imposed by the folks that actually own the ground the condo sits on. When you get old and your income is fixed, your condo is paid off, you not only have property tax that increases at the whim of the government, which is a cost you have with any piece of property, you've got the rapidly rising homeowners cost to do the yard maintenance and such. And since those are costs that can't be controlled by the homeowner, I find them especially irksome since I like to have as much control over my life as possible.
