[quote=bob2007]Opinions will vary widely. Stay 5-10 years, probably ok. Have to sell in less than 5 years, maybe a 10%ish type loss. To me, even if it costs me 10%, if my quality of life goes up (meaning I am happier overall), its worth it.[/quote]
Thanks Bob…it really is about quality of life. It has tennis courts and weight room available and I will finally feel “settled”. In 5 years I will save 10% of my purchase price vs renting, which means I will be essentially flat minus the cost of selling (if I decided to). In the mean time, I will get to enjoy the place and it’s mine. My only fear is that a sfr will come along that is exactly what I have wanted all along and I won’t be able to jump at it.
