1. Rent- Pleasanton, CA (have kids – great schools).
2. Moved out of Naples, Fl due to lack of work – sold a bitchen house, doubled $$ in 3 years thanks to the bubble.
3. Sold in 2004 when things really started taking off in Florida.
4. I knew something was going on in 2004 when prices started to soar. Then I realized we were being priced out of the market even after our healthy profit.
5. We are waiting for our daughter to finish high school here in the next 2 years – then we’ll see what to do. Stay in the Bay area and live on a sail boat or move someplace close to the coast and get a great deal on a condo with a dock.
6. N/A
7. I think we are going through some major uncharted waters (US / Global economy)in the next few years. So I’m into investing on the lee side and see what happens. We’re definitely stuck here for 2 more years.
