We plan to move as early as May and we’ll be there for at least two years and maybe as many as four. When we move around 2011, it would most likely be to the D.C. area, but we probably would return to San Diego after two years. Military life just doesn’t allow you to grow a lot of roots and being somewhere seven years is unheard of for us.

I didn’t know that about CA leases. Thanks!

I appreciate all the posts. It’s helping me see that renting would be the smart option. Sometimes you just need to hear it from others.
