It’s only just the beginning! Bring on the adjustables![/quote]

For those starter SFH (or likely condos / townhouses) buyers expect to grow their earnings in the coming years, ARM might not be a bad way to go to get into the SD market, then sell the property 5/7/10 years down the road via 1031 exchange into a destination house / zip area.[/quote]
No need to 1031 if you’re using it as a primary residence. You have $500k in tax free gain to use (assuming you’re a couple)
