We bought the house when we were a family of 7 (and the house payment was definitely way less than rent at that time!), but since then the property taxes have went through the roof and our insurance has raised so much that we're paying almost $600 EXTRA for just those increases! It's crazy. We could rent a two bedroom apartment for almost that. Plus, utilities are too much for this big space when we basically use two rooms. It's just a needless expense. Plus, we have a huge yard that needs too much upkeep... the list goes on and on! In addition to that, we don't really want to stay here long term. I'm tired of owning and all that goes with it. I want a bit of a break from it all!

Thank you for the advice. It sounds doable! I wish I understood the whole 'bot' thing a little more.
