Allow me to summarize:

* we will move out of San Diego in about 5 years for family reason

* If we choose to buy then on our move we either need to sell or put it on rent.

* the rent won’t cover the mortgage and property taxes as per current rates.

* On top of that managing it from far will add extra cost and issues.

So can you explain again WTF buying a place is even a remote consideration for you?
