Well you make some solid points Peter. No, I’m not in a hurry to buy again. Though we’re VA loan eligible, I’d like to save up for a down payment (again) to increase my options. We do need a bigger house as we’re expecting our 5th child. I know, I know– I’m insane. Children are not very liquid assets. Not legally, anyway. Hopefully, sitting on the sidelines for two years will allow us to save up and have a better selection of houses when we’re ready to buy in again.

I do think Federal jobs are safe (even though they shouldn’t be). There is no way the Federal government will lose personnel under Obama.

Stu, I hope you don’t think I’m hijacking your thread!
