Yeah feraina, the company deal is really sweet. We all like to complain and moan about it from time to time but the resources, guidance and freedom over our jobs that they give us is amazing. Been working here for a year since graduation and will be headed back for further studies in a bit.

In response to earlier posts, my annual costs of rental is down to 11k. Factoring cost of ownership with HOA, insurance, taxes etc, the per annum differential between renting and owning is only 4k, an amount that could be easily wiped out with a further downturn in the market, so my current position is to wait for 6 months to a year before buying. Then again is a property comes along with a large enough discount over current market valuations, who knows..
