Anything we need to know?
We currently live in Frederick, MD.
My partner is being forced to retire (corporate BS) by the end of 2021. She turned 62 a couple of weeks ago.
I would like to work for 5 more years and keeping my current job would be really good. Since Covid I work 100% at home, with occasional visits to Rockville.
We're looking at the Milford area. According to Google it's about 2 hours to Rockville, which is doable. Right now it looks like once a week maximum. If we went back to the office full time I could do it for a little while, but would need to make some kind of change. The chances of that appear low. My current Rockville to Frederick record is 3 hours, 10 minutes.
We really like Lewes, but $$$$.
Delaware housing, at least in areas we're interested in seems comparable to Frederick prices, but property tax is less than half.
We have a few goals:
1. Reduce cost of living.
2. Keep my job for at least a few years.
3. Friendlier retirement tax situation.
4. Get closer to water.
5. Escape the People's Republic of Maryland.
I don't own any class 3 items, so no worries on that front.
I've read about the transfer of vehicles into DE, inspection ,etc.
Any insights would be appreciated!
