[quote=KCTxr]First important lesson. Yes, we do need an air conditioner for the house in San Diego.
(…)Second important lession. Make sure the owner will not have a Trustee Sale (…)So now we are looking in a hurry. The PQ homes for lease, I don’t think we will lease. We have gotten spoiled with our rate and newer home.
(…) Wait a year. We decided to wait 1-3 more years. Looks like Mt. Woodson or Scripps Ranch for us and the kids will have to drive.

Good luck.

Thanks, KCTxr – good luck to you too! where are you looking to lease? We rent a pretty nice townhome in La Jolla Colony, but it’s like $2400 for a 1700 sf+.
We also thought that we’ll buy in 1-3 yrs, and that we’ll move in PUSD once our daughter is done with preschool – either rent or buy.
