sdrealtor– I don’t see how you can say relocating within 10 years is out of your mindset when you yourself have admitted you’ve only been in your current home for 8 years. It’s certainly possible you were wherever you were before for longer than 10 years, making it a little more palletable, but are you going to tell me you’ve never lived somewhere for a shorter period? Perhaps you meant “at this time in my life.”

As far the tax benefit is concerned, that is often dubious, as I pointed out in my first post here.
