Buying a Home in a Different State - What You Need to Know

Buying a home in a different state can be exciting—but also overwhelming.
In this episode of Empty Nester Life, we share our real-life experience buying a second home in Rockport, Texas, and walk you through what you need to know before purchasing out of state—whether you're relocating full-time or looking for a getaway spot.

From emotional prep to financial must-knows, insurance surprises, and how to find the right agent, we cover the key things that can make or break your experience.

And if you’re considering renting it out as a short-term rental? We’ll touch on that too—with more coming in Part 2 if we run out of time.

🎧 Listen in for practical advice and stories from the road—you just might be one state away from your next great adventure.
