Several home share landlord experiences were the tipping point on my resume when I entered my second career as a resident property manager at age 65.

Sharing space in my home was a good idea.  It still is.

While still raising 4 children I found myself alone with lots of years left to bring them to adulthood.

One of my financial solutions was to rent out part of my house to others, home share style while getting ready to sell my large property.  Several home share landlord experiences were the tipping point on my resume when I entered my second career as a resident property manager at age 65.

Now at 70 I am entertaining the home share idea again for retirement.  I have an eye toward a high end senior building with good amenities for maintaining health such as a pool, and properties of that type always come with hefty rents.

As to location, I see that being in close proximity to my children is the smart choice.  Furthermore I have already traveled the world and everything I want now is right here.  My husband is gone but I am still a mother and my children are my “people” forever.

In addition, I have realized that I am still a homemaker at heart and that is what I am doing right here as I manage this large building which is home for so many seniors, only now I am paid for the work I am doing.  How good is that?
