Ahh… what should be the most rewarding period of your life! You have worked hard for years to reach this point. Now you may be finding out, just like thousands of others have, that in order to sell your current home and move to the place you have always dreamed of living out your retirement years, you are faced with costly repairs and prep work, along with high tax penalties on the equity you have worked hard to gain in your home. You should be able to enjoy retirement where you want to, without worrying about these expenses that can quickly put a large crack in your nest egg.
