Well, it’s not really for me. My sister (lives in OC) was thinking to buy some condo close to where I live (that’s why UTC), so when our mom would be able to move here to have her own place for a few years instead of living with us. It will be my sister’s purchase as she already has a house and higher income than I – and I will contribute if my mom would live there. No, I won’t live there.

It is not a set decision, it was just a thought. No hurry at all. Long term investment. My mom may not be able to move here for quite a while, or maybe even not at all. However, since the condos here are close to bottom, we figured if the numbers are right, my sister should buy one and rent it in the meantime until my mother would come to San Diego.

Pardon me for asking, but I thought you were more set on buying a primary home first. Do you really want to juggle a rental in right now at the same time you’re considering a primary?
