I'm Val from Denver. I'm not good at writing and express my thoughts but would like to introduce myself to this friendly group.
I came to the Big Island on vacation with my son during X'Mas in 2003 for three weeks and didn't want to leave. I decided then that I want to retire on BI when I turn 60. The long agony of waiting is finally over, I'm retired this year and will be here in November looking for affordable house to buy. The areas I'm interested are HPP and Hawaiian Beaches/Shores Subdivisions. I'm looking for an existing house that we can move in right away. I welcome any comments or suggestions.
I'm renting a condo in Hilo for three months and hope to find a house before the lease is up. I have two grown kids, a daughter and a sone who are very excited about my plan. My husband, unfortunately, does not share my dream at this time. He's not in good health and wants to live close the children. So we will continue to keep our house in Denver. He'll stay with our dog here while I'm on the island househunting.I just found this website last week and learn a lot from this forum. You all are great.
