Disaster,
I definitely used my bubble money to get to a better neighborhood/situation in San Diego County(I have a strnger affinity for the place evidently) Since I added sweat equity and legal and developement advantages to the property I could double my bubble money and improve cash flow by around 2k month by liquidating,saving and renting instead of moving into the house I built. This opportunity is likely diminishing, and the house is not quite finished. Been hashing the idea out. There are other aspects that could provide support to my property value especially, next up cycle if we ever have one (That might be approximately when we are ready to retire 15-20 years from now). Neighborhood wealth factor is shooting through the roof as the area is going from rural to something akin to modest 10-20 acre estate properties.
We will probably stay. I may just move in, look at it next spring and if it’s too late it will be a moot point.
This is my motivation for the thread but I hope others like you will discuss what they have done.
Best wishes
