Cashflow, at least you realize you have the need to nest and have overcome it. I think it’s better that you are the one to find the houses and are more involved in the analysis, the knowledge counteracts the nesting. My hat is off to you for opting to stay home for a while on the bubble’s dime, your patience will be rewarded and the kids win in the meantime. Moving closer to family when kids are little is so great for everyone involved, since mine were little both sets of grandparents lived a bike ride away, attended every event and helped with babysitting and rides to school, I wish I had that as a kid. Maybe you could start a support group for all these guys wives who are pressuring them into buying now.
